The article is actually decently well written good-faith satire meant to address how poverty and hunger are inherent to capitalism as a system. The title was just too bold lol

He calls it "not satire" but "provocative". So he doesn't mean it, but says it to provoke a reaction... Like satire.
This just feels like either
A. He doesn't fully get what satire is and assumes it has to be lighthearted or
B. He's using "provocative" to basically mean "clickbait, but I'm too pretentious to call it that"
