It's because Yarvin's writing is bite-sized. He can't really hold ideas in his head for more than a paragraph or so. Pick any of Yarvin's famous thought experiments or Capitalised Noun-Phrases and go look up where he introduced it; I bet you that he spends maybe one paragraph defining the idea, one paragraph explaining his solution, and perhaps one more paragraph patting himself on the back for being such a smart libertarian edgelord. The man literally cannot write a five-paragraph mini-essay; instead, he emits dozens of little pellets of undigested words which he expects you to eat.
