Pointing out a group of 'bad people' to pin societal ills on is as old as history itself (scapegoating), but it's never actually helped to solve those ills. We need to look at the structures in our society and how we can reshape them if we are to make life better for people.
The article came across to me as a bystander criticizing a hoarder for the colour of their trash. It comes across as "look at this mess" rather than something helpful or interesting.
