>Foucault spent many evenings in the San Francisco gay scene, frequenting sado-masochistic bathhouses, engaging in unprotected sex. He praised sado-masochistic activity in interviews with the gay press, describing it as "the real creation of new possibilities of pleasure, which people had no idea about previously."[160] Foucault contracted HIV and eventually developed AIDS. Little was known of the virus at the time; the first cases had only been identified in 1980.[161] Foucault initially referred to AIDS as a "dreamed-up disease".

I find this post appalling and unbecoming of what I am accustomed to reading on 4channel. Rather then go into an investigation of why M. Eribon would make such a statement, the OP and his minions presume that the accusation stands on its face. It does not. I will confess to being a fan of Foucault, but being of rational mind I am open to read criticism of him provided the position is justified. I see no justification in this thread. I see a blog post by someone who thinks they are being funny by making an inside joke to a group of friends that share the same uninformed opinion.

I wouldn't have it any other way. I never understood the cult of moderation in several other cultures. It's a sign of lacking both principled self-consistency and passion, because either would push you into a "rabid" state.
To be fair Anglos can be true believers except it's only of the calvinist puritanical brand, what they would call progressivism today. It's between that and apathy. Apathy is certainly better so that might explain Anglo moderation and anti-intellectualism.

It delights me to see another one of these threads created by greasy anglo fingers, they always reek of resentment and give away low iq perplexity. And it is better for the greater good of the board to enable little goblins to vent out a bit. Foucault is very fitting for this role, since all of the phantasms surrounding the man make him out to be le evil degenerate relativist boogeyman of french philosophy. Anyway, Nietzsche was right, anglos are the most unphilosophical of all the people.

the homosexual identity is fully based on science and evidence, not even heterosexuality is backed by as much hard data. instead of relying on sexual repression and christian religious superstition you can join the way of the future and acquire a certified authentic identity based on objective medical and psychiatric criteria.

I had a collection of Foucault's interviews from around the Discipline and Punish era....I have to say that it was hard to see him as objective because of the leering quality he exuded when alternating between talk of his self harm and how the imprisoned channeled a current of power which concentrated in the very center of society.


There is a /lit/tard of some renown who seems to taken Foucault's magical explanation of power as this flowing ether like substance (you won't find me mention your name here, fuck you and your bad poetry).
