Understanding power, by itself, is worth very little. It's like explaining slavery to a slave. Foucault didn't have to advocate passive acceptance, he merely had to habituate his readers to their circumstances to achieve the same effect. Whatever activism Foucault engaged in, he did not discuss it in any of his writings, or suggest that others follow his example.

I give more credit to Edward Said for that. I think he earned it. If the CRT folks are putting Foucault to use, I don't know how because they aren't very scary.

everything that foucault ever said or wrote was solely aimed at the goal of having as much sex with underage boys as possible

once you understand this, everything he said actually makes perfect sense

His Panopticon is brilliant in concept and I don't see how it helped him with that
