    Ah. I see.

    I feel the need to point out memey doesn’t necessarily mean stupid, though. The all-spears phalanx and Roman all-shields formations were definitely kind of memey, but they dominated their era. In modern combat, cyber warfare is basically cute tricks used en mass. Aircraft carriers turn naval battles into air battles.
