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

It's satire. The author is pointing out how morally reprehensible it is, using irony.

that's not satire. He unironically, disapprovingly, argues that this is the real state of the world.

Ii is the real state of the world, but I don't see any disapproval in the text.
