A very cartoon-like click bait article aimed to stir the populist rhetoric. He drones on about the "new left" without being specific and then goes on and on, using excessive hyperbole, about everything has been ruined by these mysterious people. The man just wants attention, he has no ability to discern detail or nuance, just extreme positions.
