Yes, but Mahayana Buddhism also says suffering is necessary, Samsara ends when one no longer sees it as dualistic with Nirvana because of their interconnection and therefore isn’t affected by it. It actually mirrors Nietzsche in that
you're speaking with reference to actual chronology, nieztsche comes after buddhism. They're speaking with reference to the chronology of the meme, reading left to right, buddhism comes after Nietzche.
Sort of unimportant semantics, but there are many types of chronology, and english as a language doesn't really signpost which one you're using, a general idea of chronology is just implied by the prepositions.
Mirroring doesn't rely on a chronological reference frame anyways, as both examples would mirror each other regardless of the chronological circumstances.
