Even if you're not familiar with the "go brrr" meme (which is the only use of meme-idiom in the article and is used exactly twice), its meaning is easily inferred via context clues from the opening paragraphs.

Good writing is also entertaining and engaging.

As someone who witnessed A-10 CAS fuck some stuff up in a combat zone ie the real “brrrrt” I’ve been mystified by the meme and current useage. No one knows where it comes from nor the slaughter it represents.
You’re mistaken, the “go brrr” format comes from the money printer meme in 2020.
as intense as a a10 might be, it's short lived and only affects a few dudes on the receiving end. When the federal reserve goes brrr, it has far reaching impact that affects every single person in the global economy.
