Yes, that sentence is structured oddly, too.

Okay, think of a meme like a thought. Like washing your hands. A meme complex is when two or more memes work in conjuction - like washing your hands and your face. A common meme complex is religion - which is a jumble of memes all acting together.

When I decided the Panopticon though the Slender Man was a "meme complex," it was to show them rationalizing everything away. To them, runners, proxies, et cetera, were all following a "meme complex" - a collection of memes that causes intense fear in them. (It might be better if I created a blog post all about memes and meme complexes.)
