Being “right” but unconvincing because of abrasiveness is just screaming into the void, or worse, into an echo chamber. If he can’t create an article that wins people over with reason then why write the article at all?
I’m sympathetic to some of his points but this article by itself is not convincing.

Good question. Perhaps the answer is that we're beyond convincing at this point. A product of dispersion. We Americans all drifting apart economically, politically, and in how we perceive reality. As to where that leads us - likely chaos.
They're right though. One-eyed men in the land of the blind. Being right matters more than a politely crafted message.
Further, you're attacking the messenger and not the point/substance of the message. Weak.
