Get the machi mug.Pronunciation MOSH-ay vu, roughly translates to "chew your view".
It's a cousin of the various deja-vu experiences (already seen), and describes the uneasy or dysphoric sensation one feels when describing a dream. It's an uncomfortable distinction between an experience, most often familiar but abstract visuals in a dream, and one's ability to translate that experience into language that represents the experience accurately enough for another person to understand.
When we remember a dream, the images and circumstances are easily understood as what took place, but when you start to describe what took place, there is little coherence in the sentence as you realize what you're describing doesn't make sense, such as using adjectives that wouldn't usually describe objects or ideas, sudden changes in the environment, or lingering phrases or sounds even after waking up.

"I had the craziest dream last night."
"Yeah, what happened?"
"Well,.. I was in this house that was my house but, I guess, not- like there was something different, and I could fly but I had to run, jump up and I'd do a flip and glide down... and the sun was out, but it was still dark or maybe... It felt dark?.. lol I'm getting Mâchez-vue trying to describe it."
"Yeah, that makes no sense"

A win for everybody that was never really a win for anybody, since at least one person, if not everybody, lost something to the machine/system, or someone that was part of the machine/system. Disney was/is a master of Machiavellian principles, since people feel like they gain something by waiting in a line at Disneyland/Disney World for 45 minutes of their time instead of an hour of their time. Really it's Disney that gains from this, since people think Disney has a real concern for their families, and not for the Disney reputation and lost dollar signs that would come with any damage to the Disney reputation.
It would be a Machiavellian Victory if one of the two buildings was demolished, or if 4 or 5 of your 10 neighbors homes burned to the ground and yours didn't, you feel like you kept or even gained something by not losing everything, but half of your neighborhood is lost forever and half your neighbors lost everything. So, a Machiavellian victory is when people feel like everybody won because they didn't lose everything, when really just one person or entity actually gained/benefitted from what actually hzppened. Really most wars have casualties, so they are Machiavellian victories if your country doesn't lose a war, since somebody somewhere still lost a family member. Life is a matter of what you lose and not what you win or gain.
