Prepare to have rocks thrown at you.
To be fair I kinda see your point, the prose does get a bit much sometimes. Especially when it's a loooong rambling paragraph going into minutely specific detail describing something relatively irrelevant, when it could probably get the shebang done in 5 lines.
I remember one chapter where he spent three lengthy paragraphs intricately describing the food at a feast, and I was just thinking "really, you're giving the food this much? Is it really that relevant it needs a page and a half? Ok."

"Ironically like the nativist far-Right, which despises multiculturalism, but benefits from its ideas of difference to scapegoat the other and to promote its own white identity politics; these postmodernists, leftists, feminists and liberals also use multiculturalism, to side with the oppressor, by demanding respect and tolerance for oppression characterised as 'difference', no matter how intolerable." - Maryam Namazie
