What about it sounds like propaganda? They link to a source that currently shows an $18 fee to have a transaction in the next Bitcoin block, which seems to rule out the sort of transactions they are trying to do.

If Bitcoin/Bitcoin Cash are decentralized, why should it matter who supports them? Shouldn't they be judged on technical merits alone?

(I have no holdings in either one)

You don't have to pay $18, you can wait a little for multiple confirmations instead. By the time you're done waiting, volatility in BTC's price may put you $18 ahead. Or $18 in the hole. /s
