Explain it too me simply and at a low level please. I'm a brainlet who hasn't even studied calculus yet. I want to know what the meme is about.

There are tree categories: X, Y and Z
X is a subgroup of Y and Z.
Since Y is also a subgroup of Z it has to sit in the back of the bus with X where it belongs.

go read Conceptual Mathematics and stop bothering people with your apathetic requests

Category theory isn't meant to be studied by the uninitiated mathematician. It is almost wholly without interest to one who has little to no familiarity with the topics it sets out to describe and generalize.

Why is then, that my algebra teacher makes me learn this meme?

It allows mathematicians to get a "bird's eye view" of math. It's as if you only look at how things transform from one space to another, except that now a "space" is something extremely general like all types of objects having certain properties. Category theory allows you to talk at a very abstract level about multiple branches of math and like I said it's more about looking at how those "objects" (called morphisms) change from one category to another.

Category theory is like the math of math.

It's a pointless endeavour that was invented in order to suck up grant money by redefining concepts that were perfectly understandable using set theory.
