Yeah, this article definitely gives me the impression that this person doesn't know what they're talking about. Hyping up how the parents feel shame for yelling and completely overlooking the shame imposed on the kid? In fact, completely overlooking the kid altogether?? The only time they mention doing right by the kid is in context of doing right by the parent. But yeah spanking is just wrong: getting angry and hitting your kid seems like it has a different term associated with it. And yelling fails to effect positive change, and easily causes negative impacts. This reads as someone trying to justify old-fashioned (and almost always wrong) methods using new-fashioned ideas of authenticity and avoiding shame.
I would be a little careful calling all these things narcissism, though. Narcissist personality disorder is a real thing, and people have no control over that. The harm these people cause to other people is not a result of mental illness, but as you said, a series of systems that discourage treating people like people and more like commodities.

Getting real academic larp vibes from them. I'm not exactly an expert, but something feels very wrong.
