Yeah, this was one of Foucault's major points, as well as several other "anti-psychiatry" thinkers in the 70s (most notably Thomas Szasz): "mental illness" is always a normative stance, and is incredibly useful politically.

Foucault was an anti-science obscurantist.

Postmodernists have nothing to say.

What the hell are you so mad about? Most contemporary critics of postmodernism are themselves implicitly entrenched in postmodern thought lmao

I'm from Slovenia, so I have to listen to Žižek's crap every day.
