I think Vaniver’s point is that the word “culture” brings to mind a monolithic entity, whereas the word “memes” brings to mind many different and possibly mutually contradictory, well memes.
That’s plausible.
I’m apt to think of cultures as made of many subcultures, but I don’t think I was when I was replying to Vaniver.
