Lately, there have been quite a few threads attacking Mr. Foucault. Not cool.

Let's rehabilitate his /lit/ reputation now. Say something nice about his books and ideas.

I found him to be really interesting. His ideas of power structures and all relations containing forms of power, the interaction between power and knowledge, the idea of biopolitics, biopower, the evolution of state centralization and empowerment by panoptic and diagnosticizing means, away from the punishment as a public display of justice by the power (be it the state, the monarch, the local lord etc) shared by the community to a sterilized, whitewashed continuous domination by a bureaucratic, anonymous power apparatus was very interesting.

Pomo and deconstructionism is really interesting as long as you don't go full schizo mode but contain your sanity.

Something else that is really interesing was Gramsci's idea of hegemony. cuckservatives shudder at the mere mention of the long march through the institutions.

And then ofcourse people like Baudrillard, Ellul, Debord are so fascinating and useful in analyzing, comprehending the world we live in.

Don't understand why rightoids are so fucking scared of it all. Pomo is based because it demolishes all of liberal's sacred cows. the individual for example is a mere ideological meme used by liberalism to justify destroying institutions, uprooting communities, that stand between the domination of this naked, defenceless individual and the centralizing capitalist power structure and its appurtenant nightwatch-man state. nevermind that the individual is not anterior to society, that people have always defined themselves through local communities, clan, tribe, family, "religion"(which is itself a concept created by locke, hobbes etc to define meaningless spiritual ideas that do not interfere with the secular liberal public order) as a quick example. same critical analysis shows how retarded the idea of a free market is, how it is a mere cloak for power structures given free reign etc.

I would recommend reading Pomoism together with nonPomo heterodox studies of society, economics, anthropology, politics etc like for example Polanyi's the Great Transformation, Graeber's On Debt, Kavanaugh's Myth of Religious Violence, Jouvenel On Power, Seeing like a State by Scott,...

I don't like this fucking cunt, looks too flashy. Never read him, heard that he's obsessed with how "power manifests in society", i.e seething about being a loser and trying to status game as an intellectual so that he can have that power that so concerns him.

Based. Add Alfred Mccoy's "policing america’s empire: the united states, the philippines, and the rise of the surveillance state" to that list. Shows how imperial practices come back like a boomerang, not unlike Joseph Conrad's main themes.

not even close. how about you actually read something that isn't about OWNING THE LIBS epic style written by some neocon paid by the Rand corporation or Breitbart. Start with Inderjeet Parmar and his work on American corporate philanthropic foundations and see where ideas like inner-city community agencies, Institutes for international affairs, human rights NGO's, modernist urban planning, racial integration, diversity studies etc come from.

children aren't mature enough to consent to sexual relations
the fact that you are attracted to someone who, in terms of development, maturity, physical and mental strength is inferior to you is undeniable proof that you are a weak individual, who feels intimidated by potential partners of your own age and thus seeks out children as a way to "show dominance" in order to compensate for a complete submissiveness shown towards one's peers.
You are pathetic and spineless. You are literally afraid of grown women.

I don't think this is accurate for a lot of them. It's definitely a desire to control the person, but a rather common scenario is that the abusive boyfriend of a single mother also abuses her child.
