apart from everything else, something that really stands out to me about this particular woman's story is that she is _ never _ described as an immigrant

She helped lead a far-right internet movement. Then it turned on her.
Amy Dangerfield worked to become one of Nick Fuentes’s model “groypettes,” but a vicious fight left her grappling with the dark side of far-right fame.

A single comic panel of the comic Heathcliff, Heathcliff the car wanders the dunes looking nauseated and upset, next to him is a sign that says "robot nude beach" a seagull perched on the sign unhelpfully retorts "I tried to warn you". This is without context. I am as lost as you are.
