I've followed Eric's advice and classified Greta the Green as an inclusivist, not a theocrat. There are indeed theocrat-like forms of environmentalism like the ideas of the terror group Earth First, but they are quite rare nowadays. They might come back during the 2T.

Millennial environmentalism looks like being focused on empathizing with Nature's plight and including it in our global civilization. A lot like the attitude they have to gays and earlier Inclusivists had to Blacks.

I also added Al Saud, the ultimate merger between theocracy and market.

I would put Greta Thunberg much closer to the center than to the outer fringe, although definitely in the purple zone. She is not a nationalist, traditionalist; she seems mute on the capitalist-socialist divide. I can't imagine her advocating apocalyptic war on or mass murder behalf of a cause. An extremist in her direction would be Ted "Unabom" Kaczynski (who did leave his "Unabom" Manifesto as a guide to his beliefs).

Now for someone introducing the world to an extreme manifestation of personal indulgence, one of the sexual libertine in a plush setting. OK, he is better known for exposing (as literally as possible) the idealized female body -- familiar but with attractive form. For male heterosexuals most women of a certain age look better without clothes than with them or with clothes that simply frame the (to euphemize) the strategic parts of her anatomy so long as she does not have a severe fault of image such as obesity, scars, or ill-chosen tattoos. He is certainly not an egalitarian; he made a commodity out of personal appearance and advocated 'luxury' as an ideal. Obviously an antithesis to theocratic ideals and not at all a nationalist, he is obviously nowhere near the blue and brown sectors. He is non-violent, so he is not at one extreme or another. Sure, his sexuality is elitist and exploitative; few people ever get the means in which to live as he advocates, but it does attract men (and post-pubescent boys)  as a fantasy more sophisticated than the "dirty old man" pornography.  

Let me introduce Hugh Hefner, the man who introduced Humanity to sexuality without guilt.  It might be ironic, but some feminists might be close to Hefner on this chart.
