Your Definition
The appearance of widespread agreement engineered through media, education, and cultural repetition rather than genuine deliberation. Manufactured Consensus makes certain views seem obviously correct, universally held, beyond question—not because they've survived debate, but because debate was never permitted or alternative views were never presented. "Everyone knows that..." becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy: repeat it enough, and people believe it, and believing it, they repeat it. Consensus manufactured, not discovered; constructed, not emergent.
