The term "meme" was coined by Dawkins in his book The Selfish Gene (1976), to describe something which was mental but had "genetic properties" of transmission and evolution.
It is still very strange that a video game from that year would ever refer to this usage of the term. Internet meme, as a term, came much later, certainly several years after 2000. Not only that, but the idea of a "Meme War"?
You would be surprised, the open borders thing has been around pop culture since at least the 70s with the whole anti war why can't we all just get along movement.
You should look into TV shows from the 40s and 50s. Even going back that far, the anti white male propaganda was going strong. Obviously not directly related to open borders, but they do share the same (((origin)))
