The trender mania only has traction because Silicon Valley has promoted and supported it 100%. Without social media spreading the social contagion and enforcing a Soviet-like censorship regime stamping out critics and detractors alike in the name of 'human rights', there wouldn't even be a 'trender mania' to speak of.

It would be relegated to the fringes of society, where it belongs.

This is 100% manufactured.
