UwU ~ Thanks for commenting and thanks for reading!
While I would agree for a crowd like Petite-Bourgeois and Bourgeois peoples that are on Steemit, I would disdain from Proles who do use Steemit as a secondary income and have lil’ time. Moreover, there are Economic causes (which then translates to Cultural causes that sooner or later feeds back to the Economy) that would make Proles and other workers not want to read long things, but it is disdainful when Petite-Bourgeois and Bourgeois peoples that not only have time but also the money to read things like novels but don’t. The real kicker is that Proles would be interested but the education failed them and make them think its bad (that and the cult of STEM which wants to reign supreme when it needs both the philosopher and economist on their sides to make them effective in their capacities and more individual as they help other professions more individual when together). But this is even before we get into talks about how this effects the various genders and gender expectations within cultural expectations...
Indeed, that is a correct reading; this is mainly me taking the Dialectical theme from the start and continuing it as a Dialectician while also playing off my sympathies for Stoicism (not anglo lowercase s stoicism, the philosophical Uppercase S Stoicism). So I wanted to focus on a Dialectical overcoming of being gripped by externals and him coming to realize what is in his control and what is not, but to not excuse himself of his wrongs and make him confront the errors he made. Because at the end of the day, his rival is of the same class as he; his failings is to recognize his rival as his equal, that he possesses the same ruling class status (as Partriach of the village) as he.
I must admit I did have fun in it, here here for another prompt where I can get away with it again.
