I would be skeptical about claims where there is always one evil villain in food that's causing chronic illnesses.

Vegetable oils are fine and the fears are unfounded. Here is a far better explanation.

One of the overlaps between many vegans and the carnivores is the universal repudiation of vegetable seed oils.

Healing with Whole Foods covered this nicely.

What? I know several vegans and none of them think seed oils are bad.

I'm not sure why vegans and "carnivores" are considered an authority on this.

you just linked to a well know “pro seed oil” twitter troll (had no idea that was a thing) but needless to say he is not an unbiased source

There really is no such thing as a "pro seed oil" troll. He's pointing out gaps of evidence in the common claims that people who vilify seed oil, which is a real thing. If someone is making the claim that certain foods are deleterious, there has to be strong evidence to back those claims. And on a cursory glance, I'm not convinced that seed oils are deleterious. By all means though do your research. This is one source, but I've read others as well.

The claim (in gp's link) that it is unwise to extrapolate from focused studies to claims about populations seems sensible, though.
