    I mean, this isn't even news. This was known for years. Foucault was...not a good guy in his personal life. Proof you *can* read too much Nietzsche.https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/french-philosopher-michel-foucault-abused-boys-in-tunisia-6t5sj7jvw?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=Twitter#Echobox=1616950660 …

        I actually have a v. conflicted relationship w/Foucault. His 'history' was terrible ahistorical nonsense, his most popular and influential ideas were terribly corrosive, his personal life was wretched...and yet I've read everything he wrote and his work needs to be reckoned with.

        Foucault comes from a uniquely French intellectual line of thought where historical accuracy was less important than a "narrative idea," which is how you get something like MADNESS AND CIVILIZATION, completely wrong in nearly every factual assertion it makes yet compelling.

        You want to read Foucault at his most perversely bloodthirsty? Check out his 'war correspondence' covering the Iranian Islamic revolution in 1979. He viscerally thrilled to the idea of blood in the streets and mass executions, like a modern-day Hébertiste. Total nihilism.

        He actually came across as *bloodthirsty*. Bloodlust. And it wasn't even his fight, he was just an outside observer, rooting on mob chaos because it made him feel "alive." Will give you major shudders.

        Jeff B. is *BOX OFFICE POISON* Retweeted Jane Coaston

        Yes, and while (in the tweet Jane is QT'ing) @dylanmatt treats this as a whiplash take coming off of his gay-liberation advocacy, it's predictable if you understand Foucault through a Nietzschean post-morality lens. He celebrated atavistic destruction.https://twitter.com/janecoaston/status/1376310719084425218 …

        So he should have written many of his amazingly thought-provoking books from prison, or maybe not at all (if prison didn’t agree with him.) Would that have been ok ? (I say yes, you?)

        Remember, it was the Greeks who brought the concept of fathers selling their little boys into sexual slavery for political influence and upward mobility. Not surprised by those who think they're better/more intelligent wanting to possess their 'lessers'.

        Replying to @TyrannyCounter @EsotericCD

        Marxism and Marxism-Leninism claimed to have a map to utopia, but Foucault argued this utopia was just another prison. Liberalism is meaningless, & the alternatives aren't alternatives at all: Power relations & the panopticon are all we have, & there's no getting away from them.

        Exactly. Not in doubt for those looking.
