I often have to stop mid sentence, tell people I'm already at the end of my paragraph, and have to back up several missed points.

It's more complex than that

I think this is specifically what the meme is getting at, lol

If we treated every subject with the full nuance it deserves, all memes would have to be at least six panels long...

That is the opposite of memes.

Memes are the art of removing as much context as possible while still being relevant.

I didn't realize that was the point of this "meme", although I wouldn't consider that a meme. That has a statement that is technically correct but, on the surface is misleading. If that's the point, then i apologize.

If you consider a 'meme' to be one particular flavor of internet humor, then whether it is or not is based on the community hosting it really.

In the more useful context of the word, any transmissible content that can convey ideas and behaviors beyond its context is considered a meme. Just, you know, modern day usage and all.

Yeah that is one of those words that has evolved in meaning it seems.
