Why is that when folks post fringe material like this they seem
reluctant to provide the source?


I was not aware that identifying the source would change the words.


Were you aware that it's a simple courtesy to the publisher of those
words to identify that publisher?

Or is it necessary to know the source to know if you are supposed
to agree or disagree with the words?


Not necessarily, but when a piece such as this is so long on
unsubstantiated rhetoric and short on verifiable fact to support the
opinions therein sometimes it helps to know whether there is at least
some track record of credibility on which to rely. While one might be
tempted to write it off as yet another barrage of hate-speech, it's
better to confirm one's by seeing it in context.
