History and philosophy cannot be concerned with pure fact. They are intertwined with interpretation and power. See above writers.

One that involves Nietzsche and so forth. Meanwhile, it's easy to dismiss SJWs without mischaracterising Foucault. Too much work when all..

Like I said, they use that idea incredibly badly. It can conversely be used to discredit them.

OK, but this is really a lot of assertions. I'm surrounded by ppl citing Foucault for nonsense.
