This is for internet memes, not cultural memes. Those are two different things

Nope, Internet memes are cultural memes

and this doesn't even fit the description of a cultural meme

Also wrong

This is a screenshot of political opinion

Which is an idea that is spreading, and thus a meme

Memes are like genes, that's why the names are like that

Cultural meme is, like you said: unit of cultural information that spreads by imitation.

Internet memes are pictures that are either funny, ironic, or relateable.

Those are two different things and this is neither. This is a screenshot of a political opinion.

unit of cultural information that spreads by imitation.

Sharing/Crossposting/rebloghing/etc.

very simple concept you're ailing to grasp spectacularly
