IMO the central thesis is that society should have a negative view of tech companies and tech workers. That's the only thesis that each argument made in the post actually justifies. So if that's not the true thesis, then I guess the article is just a sequence of incoherent and poorly constructed arguments about UBI, education, corporate taxation, etc.
A counter-argument to the "you should hate tech people" thesis might be the pronounced support among tech workers for fixing the problems their industry helps create. The author argues that this is actually yet another reason why we should have a negative view of tech companies and tech workers, because UBI won't work and because we could fix college affordability by forcing Harvard to fund a few more full rides.
