Used to be ~2016 that “Tech” was a cult-like coherent derp and techlash was a chaotic stream of confused critical commentary of very variable quality — mix of great insights and profound wrongness.

Now it’s flipped. Tech is a chaotic stream of great and terrible ideas and Techlash is a cult-like coherent derp.

Maybe:

"The great and terrible ideas cohere long enough to see themselves become the derp." 😂

But really, this seems like a pattern that could apply to other off-vs-them dichotomies.
