This works on so many levels.
What does the above sentence mean in the link?

It means that the statement is true in many aspects.

A professor of linguistics shared the above link on Facebook and said:
Note the tense - not intended as a political post!

What does the sentence in bold mean?

Well, there are two parts - - “note the tense” means ‘pay attention to the tense’. I’m not sure which tense you should be paying attention to, though. The second part - - "not intended as a political post’ to me means that the meaning of the post itself is not important.

What does “AND YOU WOULD BE?..” mean in the above link?

Torsten · December 11, 2018, 5:01am

I think it means ‘And who exactly are you?’

Nothing to add, I’m afraid.

I don’t think I can add anything extra, Torsten.
