Raises hand

I agree with your point here, more or less, in that I think the article was written the way it was to achieve the effect you call out, but while I probably mostly agree with the author's political positions I also think the article's kinda bad because it's poorly presented and the "insight" it offers is mostly cliché. (see my other posts in this discussion for details, should you care).
