What are the building blocks of an enduring and influential meme? Is there some sort of x factor that dictates which of them balloons in popularity or is the success as random as /b/ itself?
When the right people take hold of it.
Dies right after the wrong people take over it.

Are you asserting that every meme has a chance to grow in popularity so long as right people are in possession of it?

In that sense, yes
All memes are created equal.
Beyond that, there are too many variables to calculate within our ever changing spacetime we live in.
Yes, Time. How do we influence "Time"?
That is a secret, I cannot lend you.
Time... is in your Mind.
It really just depends on which environment you're in and which people are helping popularize the meme. There's a reason pepe, wojak, spurdo, and baneposting is still around but things like pedo bear and rage comics aren't.
tl;dr - keep posting if you don't want a meme to die
