"It’s the NPC meme as ideology. Perpetually seeing “the other” as dehumanised lesser drones. The hope that IF only they were more aware and accepted capital, technology, and markets, then they would let go of their “witches’ brew of resentment, bitterness, and rage” and be happier."

What if the goal is to draw battle lines and force people to pick a side? that’s how I read it. (I don’t have strong opinion on whether it’s a good idea to do so or not)

Maybe, but I doubt the intent is to force people to pick a side. It's trying to convince people, but it just really entrenches existing viewpoints.
