I don't think he's trying to encapsulate all of Foucault's work in three tweets, no. Do you think Foucault would disagree with him?

no, depends on the takeaway, which I can't tell from the tweets-- it's *purpose* of showing social construction of criminality that matters

Yes, quite. There are limits on the degree to which criminality is socially constructed and changeable.

And I don't know if he's drawing them either. What he is saying is consistent with Foucault on criminality & that was my only point.

...and not wrong, on that score. Comparing that to climate change is silly, and arguing contra delinking criminality & genetics equally so

the only question is whether one's arguing the contingency of socially constructed criminality as a liberatory project, or not

Motivation matters, yes, and ideological commitments get in the way of a truth which does exist whether we can get at it or not.

material reality exists; what it means is social. Genetic arguments are usually coded racism or sexism from folks who see themselves as norm

And I'm right. I have made no arguments about genetics. I read enough to accept that evolution is true but am mostly uninterested in biology
