A meme is an idea, behavior, or style that spreads by means of imitation from person to person within a culture and often carries symbolic meaning representing a particular phenomenon or theme.
An Internet meme or meme, is a cultural item that is spread via the Internet, often through social media platforms. The name is by the concept of memes proposed by Richard Dawkins in 1972. Internet memes can take various forms, such as images, videos, GIFs, and various other viral sensations.

There are also things I literally cannot tell anyone. Like a secret "agenda" (its not an evil agenda I promise)
It reminds me of a concept in Rememberance of Earth's Past Book 2 (aka: Three Body Problem's sequel) of something called the "Wallfacers" which are people selected to lead against the alien invasion, but they cannot reveal their strategy to anyone because those aliens can conduct surveillance anywhere, but cannot read human minds. So they are basically alone in their entire journey, making a public plan and telling people to implement those actions, but actually trying to implement their actual secret plans that only exist only in their head, to defend against the alien invasion.
Not to be a cynic, but you literally cannot know if other people have secret agendas. It could be a good thing like anti-tyranny plans, covert sabotage, etc... Or it could be evil like mass murder of innocents. Its impossible to know unless we have an accurate lie detector and/or mind-reading technology.
Its also interesting that I can tell my parents I wanna kms, and I know they won't report me, and if they do, I can just accuse them of lying (I speak the language of this country better, they cannot win a he-said-she-said verbal debate against me) but I cannot tell a therapist I wanna kms, because their words would be more credible to courts. But I can rant about my parents to a therapist, but cannot say that stuff to my parents.
