As one of the commentators pointed out, it's quite a confusing article. The author(not Vigano) simultaneously tells the reader to stay in their parish while also praising and defending the SSPX. But SSPX churches are not parochial. So does the author condemn abandoning the parish church for the SSPX or not?

That is confusing.  Now, its possible that he sees the regular SSPX as being more legitimate than some of the "more fringe" groups like SSPX MC, SSPV, CMRI, or independents that have no recognition from Rome at all. Now he didn't say this, and I'm only guessing, and he could've clarified if that's what he meant.

Like I understand and respect why one might attend an independent, SSPV, (etc.) chapel for all sorts of reasons.  But Rome has *specifically* said that people are allowed to attend the SSPX.  like they were asked about it in the 1990s, and they said in the strict sense you could go, and that it would fulfill your sunday obligation.  So its easy to imagine why someone could see that situation as canonically preferable, agree or not.

I found nothing confusing about it at all:

He is condemning the sedevacantist urge to leave the Catholic Church.

He believes they are schismatics, while the SSPX and Resistance (and various independents) remain Catholic fighters.

Don't shoot the messenger, but I thought this was pretty clear.
