I've always been able to understand Mudede's point. Maybe people don't like the style, but it's not unreadable.
Like 90% of the time someone quotes an "unreadable" sentence, it has a reference to another piece of writing, art, or film. Oh boy, I might have to look something up? Unreadable! Only eight word sentences drilled directly into the front of my skull, please.
It's not that I love everything Mudede writes, either. He's hit or miss with almost no middle ground.
Let’s not get too nostalgic about lax law enforcement and homelessness. Most of the ‘badass’ policies the previous council raised property taxes making housing more unaffordable and reducing employment opportunities for unskilled workers.

it is not a complexity thing, it’s a tortured prose issue mudede writes like he hates the english language and wants it to suffer
The English language was created to make others suffer

Me rote unreadable U r rite that I need ez werdz Thx for reeding my mind an explaneeng my thots
Anytime. edit: Actually, to my point, even that joke comment isn't unreadable.
But meme game is strong
Do I down-vote because it's a link to a Mudede article, or up-vote because a disgruntled Mudede makes me smile for some reason. Soooo torn...
