If you read the comments here praising Girard and start agreeing to them, you're already experiencing mimetic desire.

As Peter Thiel said, in the 22nd century humans will look back to Girard as one of the great intellectuals of our time.

His memetic theory is a universal true. We can see it clearly everywhere we go. Now, desires are boosted by our environment which are ultimately a result of our passions and necessities as well. I'd only point that our primitive needs are not fostered by this memetic desire, and in this sense these needs dispute with our desires the legitimacy of our actions.
