Should you toast ground spices too or is this meme only whole ones?

No meme, you should do it. Except cacao as it burns easily.

You can toast ground or whole spices, but it is easier not to burn whole spices and they are less stale.
If you care enough to toast your spices, a trip to the ethnic grocery store and a spice grinder are in order.

>spice grinder
I'll just use a mortar and pestle tbh, maybe smash it between two bricks if that isn't enough

You can use a mortar and pestle, but a lot of people I know just get an extra chopper style coffee grinder or a small pepper mill for the purpose.
May want to sieve the spices after, sometimes the pieces don't get small enough.

Pepper burns easily too and gives a bitter taste

It's an Indian thing, they do it with ground spices too, with great results. If you're making curry, go for it. For everything else: ask yourself: why? What does toasting do to the product I'm using?

If you use a coffee grinder or blender the swirling blades will create heat, which in turn will toast your spices. If you use a pepper mill or pestle & mortar that wont happen, both have their use.
