Collective Machiavellianism in plain is the same as normal Machiavellianism, but enacted by a group of people, big or small.
This group will use whatever means they can, and if required, will use unethical means to achieve the goals they want, historically, it has been associated with fearmongering from demagogues to get populations of their followers on goal with their fearmongered ideals, such as the Salem Witch Trials, or the McCarthy era and red scare in general.
other times Collective Machiavellianism is simply caused by a group being forced to obey the status quo or other standards imposed on them by the group that subjugates them to carry out the overall Collective's will, whether good or bad. It will more than likely always end up in a bad context as the aim is for the Collective to gain the necessary power to carry out the aims their reaching out for, then maintain them regardless of the means needed to do so. Historically, often seen at the terrible expense of others not a part of that group, such as the many workers in the McCarthy era that were practically barred from their jobs after being fired for being alleged communists within their communities.
At times, even people in the Collective may be completely opposed to the Collective's ideals but feel that they must conform regardless; this is usually acquainted to the lucifer effect.

Get the Collective Soul mug.A theoretical framework proposing that entire societies, communities, or social groups can experience dissociative states analogous to individual psychological dissociation—a splitting off from awareness of traumatic realities, contradictions, or collective actions that would otherwise be unbearable to acknowledge. Collective dissociation occurs when a group systematically disconnects from knowledge of its own violence, its historical crimes, its ongoing harms, or its internal contradictions. The theory draws on concepts from trauma psychology (dissociation as a response to overwhelming experience) and applies them at the social level: societies create collective amnesia, construct comforting narratives that omit uncomfortable truths, and maintain a fragmented awareness that allows them to function without confronting what they've done or what they're doing. Collective dissociation explains how people can live normal lives while their society commits atrocities, how nations can celebrate founding myths that erase genocide, how communities can ignore the suffering on which their comfort depends. The theory doesn't claim that societies have minds, but that social processes produce effects analogous to individual dissociation—a collective splitting that protects the group from unbearable knowledge.
Example: "The nation celebrated its founding while pretending the displacement of indigenous peoples never happened—Collective Dissociation Theory explains how entire societies can live with contradictions that would shatter individuals. The truth was there, but it was also not there, split off into a collective unconscious."

Bitter drinks reflect on how difficult a person can be when engaging in a conversation. Adding Also the lack of brain freeze in drinks if it isnt as strong it just means your meeting a less enthusiastic person to deal with and the conversation is probably going to be less of a fun experience.
As a result of feeling that the person is just dry and bitter this would feel less of an ideal parent to have.

There was a party however ...something feels like it isn't memorable. Sure some of the drinks where fine beggars cant be choosers. Though if this happens every year....making things predictable and everything feels like there isnt a change. My lack of sensory feedback makes me feel like Im socializing with folks who are a collective drought.
