Also the original (and more useful) definition is “a gene, but for ideas”. This is an idea that more people should consider, so it qualifies anyways.

Cultural memes and internet memes are not the same thing. This is neither.

Literally any shared idea is a meme.

We have an actual original definition to refer to. It’s Richard Dawkins in The Selfish Gene, and it’s very comparable to general “message” in information theory. “Internet memes” fit into his definition exactly.

If everything is a meme then nothing is a meme.

Internet meme means a picture that is funny, ironic or relateable. This is none of those. This is a screenshot of an political opinion.
