The lack of capitals at the start of sentences....

Yes. I think I haven't noticed such a long form writing style before. I bet it's intentional.
What makes it really difficult for me is my eyes can't seem to anchor anywhere when I read. It's like reading a big phrase, or like speaking without taking a breath.
In addition you have to look closely to see if there’s a . or , to know if it’s a new sentence or not. Horrible UX.

I have developed an experimental browser extension which helps reading.
It colors sentences into alternating colors. It also colorizes the grammatical structure.
For this article where Capitalization was missing, it only worked when using the neural network parser :) which sadly isn't fast enough :( if you don't have a decent GPU.

Either you are against capitalism or you aren't.
Actually, in the light of this, I wonder if the whole piece is not satire now.

The points are so ludicrous that I'm hoping it's biting satire.
