Not to mention the nightmarish logistical issues that made invasion and occupation of such a large territory extremely arduous.

Don't kid yourself, you wouldn't read it anyway.

Well, that is because those people are pro-capitalists too (left-leaners meaning social democrats i.e. not socialists). The meme is more of a reference to right-wingers/the alt right who loathe things like immigration from the global south kept under the boot of imperialism even though it's a necessary mean to keep profits up in this "free market" they so love.

I mean, she's basically a figurehead for the evironmental movement who has no experience or isn't well read enough to have a clue where she actually stands politically i.e. the quintessential liberal.

She is 20 years old, I wish people would stop using the cop out that she is a child or a teen because of her small figure (not saying you necessarily did that but I've seen that a lot), but I get what you mean with her being autistic as it can definitely be harder to depict the body language.

She’s the literal embodiment of white, middle-class European bourgeois sentiment.

She is the child of famous Swedish actor Svante Thunberg and opera singer Malena Ernman (who represented Sweden in Eurovision 2009), so when she got famous I suspected it was some kind of stunt pushed by her parents as, like with many rich and privileged people, they probably had plenty of contacts on their deck to be able to garner media attention. It doesn't surprise me that she and her family would be the milquetoast white liberal Swedes that they are.

That dude really hit us with the same old "100 gorillion dead" talking point while being smug about it in a thread about shit political takes. 💀 You couldn't make this up.
