It's important to establish straight up that the author is talking nonsense. It's like one of those nigerian prince scams. You don't want to engage anyone with any sense, so it filters out people early.
If you lead with your biggest bullshit claim, anybody who's still listening is going to be ill-equipped to dispute the comparatively more rational ones you're going to follow it up with.

Yes, it’s historically inaccurate to equate “feudalism” with “central management.”
But who cares? Medieval municipal governance has nothing to do with the article.
I’m a bit more peeved the article lacks details. What’s the name of the legislation? When is the vote on it? Is there a period of public comment?
