I suspect half of what pisses people off about acad leftists even when arguments are good is language. It is not that it is arcane (it is, but easily learned) but that it seems to assume a reader is either hostile or an unquestioning ally. No room for just 'curious, listening'

I used to be a fan. Among other big changes, it’s mostly that the language doesn’t feel fun anymore. often makes density of content vary wildly from paragraph to paragraph, which is just exhausting
