Întreb și eu în calitate de profesor, da? - cum pot alți profesori, chiar universitari, să o țină langa cu filosofii francezi postmoderniști în toate departamentele umaniste din Occident, din România până în Belgia, Franța, Italia, Spania, Canada, SUA șamd, în condițiile în care mai toți acești filosofi au militat activ pentru legalizarea pedofiliei?

Atât de genialisimi sunt acești filosofi în ochii voștri? Alți filosofi n-ați găsit? Astea ne sunt reperele morale călăuzitoare și creatoare de noi valori sociale pentru secolul XXI?

Iar cei care se pronunță împotriva lor sunt conspiraționiști, bigoți, homofobi, rasiști, retrograzi șamd?

Hai nu zău!

În ziarul socialist francez Le Monde a fost publicată în 1977 o petiție, semnată de toți acești iluștri intelectuali citați în continuare în 2023 cu mare veselie, în care se propunea scăderea vârstei legale a consimțământului sexual până la 12-13 ani.

Foucault a fost chiar acuzat de un alt profesor universitar, Guy Sorman, că plătea băieței de 8-9-10 ani în Tunisia să facă sex cu el pe morminte în cimitir (!!!).

Cei care mai faceți studii umaniste întrebați-vă profesorii universitari ce părere au despre Foucault! 

În original: "In 1977, a petition was addressed to the French parliament calling for the abrogation of several articles of the age of consent law.

A number of French intellectuals—including Michel Foucault, Gilles Deleuze, Jacques Derrida, Louis Aragon, Roland Barthes, Simone de Beauvoir, Jean-Paul Sartre, Félix Guattari, Michel Leiris, Alain Robbe-Grillet, Philippe Sollers, Jacques Rancière, Jean-François Lyotard, Francis Ponge, Bernard Besret and various prominent doctors and psychologists—signed the petition.

In 1979 two open letters were published in French newspapers defending individuals arrested under charges of statutory rape, in the context of reformation of age of consent laws.Many of the signatories – including, but not limited to Foucault, Danet and Hocquenghem – later argued in favor of legalizing sex with children, claiming a child can consent - "listen to what the child says and give it a certain credence. This notion of consent is a trap, in any case. What is sure is that the legal form of an intersexual consent is nonsense. No one signs a contract before making love."

The same year, Michel Foucault presented to the Commission for the Revision of the Penal Code to equalize and lower the age of consent to 13.

In 1977 and 1979, two open letters were published in French newspapers defending individuals arrested under charges of statutory rape. In 1977, another petition was addressed to the French parliament calling for the abrogation of several articles of the age of consent law.

The laws were considered an infringement on the sexual autonomy of children.".

"Michel Foucault, the French scholar of sexuality, died in 1984, and then became the most cited scholar in history. His ideas on sexuality re-shaped the world."

The young children were running after Foucault to say what about me? Take me, take me. They were 8, 9, 10 years old. Foucault was throwing money at them and would say, ‘let’s meet at 10 p.m. at the usual place.’ He would make love there on the gravestones with young boys.”

"There were journalists present on that trip, there were many witnesses, but nobody did stories like that in those days. Foucault was the philosopher king. He’s like our god in France’.”

Foucault had been teaching at the University of Tunis.

A 1967 interview finds him reflecting on his time there: "I met the Tunisian students, and it was love at first sight . . . What enchants me more than anything is their insatiable appetite for knowledge.”

One biography notes him exclaiming to a friend that he was fascinated by the homoeroticism of a Muslim culture. As Foucault put it: "They live among men. They are men and made for men, with the fleeting bedazzlement, the brief reward of women.”

Tunisia was a gay playground for Western gay men.In the early 20th century, the economist John Maynard Keynes encouraged friends to go there, as "bed and boy” were cheap.

Into the 1970s, travel agencies would advertise the "young, magnificent Tunisians” to Westerners.

In 1978, the Spartacus Gay Guide noted to potential sex tourists that boys of Tunisia only expected, in return, a T-shirt or socks.

The guide urged men to "not to offer money . . . as this is one of the few areas in the world where money is not expected — let us try to keep it that way.”

A writer for Al Jazeera notes that "none of the main newspapers in France, such as Le Monde and Libération, or even in Tunisia has reported on Sorman’s accusation.”

Everyone knew, and denied it? In Tunisia—and academia.”

Așadar și complicitatea intelectualilor, nu doar acțiunile unor oameni morți cărora li se ridică în continuare efigii, trebuiesc denunțate.
