Yes you are. Your implication was that Barton couldn't be judged as a wrong un because Foucault rejected Kant's concept of morals and believed power didn't reside with individuals. What's clear from reading Foucault is that he believed power doesn't "soley" reside with individuals.
In fact, in his later work he tackled the question of ethics in terms of connections between self-care, the governance of others, and parrhesia. By 1983 he was quoted as agreeing with a journalist who said we need to “assert each person’s responsibility for their own choices” and to move towards greater “accountability” for those actions. (Admittedly this was in relation to his views on the Welfare State)
Anyway, I don't want to derail your thread, the original premise was an interesting one. |

Your misrepresentation of Foucault to muddy the waters over Barton's crime is a bit much. Foucault absolutely would acknowledge that Barton's abuse of his wife was an abuse of power, just that that power is enacted rather than is possessed and exists as a relation rather than a thing.
Or, as a PP succinctly put it, he'd think Barton was a c*nt. |

More hopeful than a month ago and actually looking forward to seeing what the new faces can do, if Varane and Morgan continue to develop and if Kelman can add the goals we badly need. |

Just a coincidence, just like Labour's front bench and their funding from pro-Israel groups. Or Luke Akehurst MP being parachuted in to North Durham. A thoroughly unpleasant individual and Israeli state asset. |

Which is what both the US and Israel want.
Netanyahu said back in 2000 that he wanted to see regime change in Syria, Iraq, Iran, Libya, Lebanon, Sudan and Somalia. In meetings with Congress this plan was discussed
In "A Time to Lead: For Duty, Honor and Country," published by Palgrave Macmillan last month, the former four-star general recalls two visits to the Pentagon following the terrorist attacks of September 2001. On the first visit, less than two weeks after Sept. 11, he writes, a "senior general" told him, "We're going to attack Iraq. The decision has basically been made."
Six weeks later, Clark returned to Washington to see the same general and inquired whether the plan to strike Iraq was still under consideration. The general's response was stunning:
"'Oh, it's worse than that,' he said, holding up a memo on his desk. 'Here's the paper from the Office of the Secretary of Defense [then Donald Rumsfeld] outlining the strategy. We're going to take out seven countries in five years.'
What did Netanyahu cite in 2002 as a compelling justification for attacking Iraq?
"There is no question whatsoever that Saddam is seeking, is working, is advancing towards to the development of nuclear weapons,” Netanyahu said in 2002 testimony to Congress. “Once Saddam has nuclear weapons, the terror network will have nuclear weapons,”
Of course, we know that was a lie. We also know that the largest global terrorist network over the last 100 years is the USA & Israel, being responsible both covertly and overtly for regime change in at least 14 countries and interfering in countless more, including in the democratic process in the UK. |

Ah, Germany. A country still trying to whitewash its past crimes and happy to do it at the cost of thousands of Arab lives.
The reality is much closer to the West aiding Israel in their religious war against Arabs. They're not humans after all.
Menachem Begin "Palestinians are “beasts walking on two legs” , Dahan’s “Palestinians are like animals, they aren’t human”, Israeli Defence Minister, Yoav Gallant, the man responsible for translating Israel’s declaration of war into an action plan: “We are fighting human animals and we will act accordingly,”
Like the Iranian government, the Israeli government views civilians as legitimate targets.
Israeli President, Isaac Herzog, the “rhetoric about civilians not (being) involved (is) absolutely not true.” They are legitimate targets, simply because they “could’ve risen up, they could have fought against that evil regime” |

That's a bit of an assumption, given we don't know what's going to happen with Iran's talks with Russia and what support they'll get from their allies in the middle-east.
They could decide that killing Americans is the best option, in the hope that the conflict between Trump and MAGA will be enough to deter the sociopathic pumpkin from further military action. |

Near silence? Russia called the US strikes irresponsible" and a "gross violation of international law" and China says the bombing of the Iranian facilities violates the UN Charter and its principles. Both countries are calling for a ceasefire from Israel & the USA. |

Amazing how far some people will go to avoid a prison sentence. I thought inciting an insurrection couldn't be topped until the genocide. 3 countries, 2 led by religious zealots and one by a sociopath doesn't bode well. |
