How it's used
This idiom is almost exclusively used in a negative or critical context to describe people who are colluding or acting in lockstep to achieve a selfish or dishonest goal. It implies a lack of independent thought or a suspicious alliance between parties. It is rarely used to describe positive or neutral agreement, where terms like 意見一致 would be preferred.
Examples
Those two are always colluding and thinking the same way, it's so annoying.
Are you two planning to gang up on me and lie to me?
