The author just lists a bunch of things that most people consider being bad mixing it with things she considers being bad and makes a conclusion that it's the fault of a movement called X.
If you see an article in such format for the first time it can be something like a revelation and you can feel some emotional response, but when you saw them multiple time by multiple authors from different movements blaming other movements for the same things you start to see the pattern and it becomes just annoying. They just turn some terms and names into insults. "Communists", "bourgeois", "postmodernists", "neoliberals", "leftists", "fascists". These terms lose any sense when you just throw them at people. It doesn't help that people use them to describe themselves or others when named people don't actually support these movements. They just have an opinion that differs from yours. In many cases it's not even an opinion, it's just a mere feeling they have due to comradery with some people they like.
