Biopower\u200a\u2014\u200athe power over life\u200a\u2014\u200awas enabled through two intertwined functions. The first, which he called biopolitical, focused on the administration of the life of the population, seeking to strengthen and enhance it through techniques as wide-ranging as labour laws, public hygiene, and the regulation of heredity. The second, called anatomopolitical, focused on the disciplining of individuals, primarily through knowledges and institutions from medicine and psychiatry to principles of taxation. This discipline was peculiarly effective partly because it deployed the notion of <strong class=\"markup--strong markup--blockquote-strong\">power as oppressing natural desires to produce those desires as the individual\u2019s own, and liberation as the expression of those desires<\/strong>.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<blockquote name=\"4880\" id=\"4880\" class=\"graf graf--blockquote graf-after--blockquote\"><p>As Foucault argued, circulating between these two intertwined elements of biopower was \u201cthe norm,\u201d and a proliferation of knowledges and institutions engaging with questions of health and pathology, sexuality and race, and bodies and disability. This enabled what Foucault calls <strong class=\"markup--strong markup--blockquote-strong\">a \u201ccaesura\u201d or \u201cfragmentation\u201d of the population into two, in the name of enhancing life. On the one hand was life, the \u201csuperrace\u201d, those whose lives and well-being must be prioritised and nurtured. On the other hand were the \u201csubrace,\u201d, those associated with death, who, according to Foucault, could be subject to \u201cnot\u2026 simply murder as such, but also every form of indirect murder: the fact of exposing someone to death, increasing the risk of death for some people, or, quite simply, political death, expulsion, rejection, and so on\u201d\u00a0.<\/strong> This fragmentation of the population, then, which Foucault names racism (in a slightly misleading way, since he is talking about the structural fragmentation of a population in the way described above, which includes racism but also goes beyond it) enables <strong class=\"markup--strong markup--blockquote-strong\">the creation of techniques of biopower designed to enhance and support life as a general principle, rather than simply at an individual level.<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p name=\"b0a2\" id=\"b0a2\" class=\"graf graf--p graf-after--blockquote\">There is a well documented obsession of these men with sexual reproduction with white cisgender women. It is no coincidence that a good deal of his supporters emerged from MRA groups, pick up artists and other splintered factions of white men who hold extremely regressive ideas about women, gender and sexuality. Spencer himself uses <a href=\"http:\/\/www.rollingstone.com\/politics\/features\/meet-the-alt-right-spokesman-thrilled-by-trumps-rise-w443902\" data-href=\"http:\/\/www.rollingstone.com\/politics\/features\/meet-the-alt-right-spokesman-thrilled-by-trumps-rise-w443902\" class=\"markup--anchor markup--p-anchor\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">MRA rhetoric<\/a> in interviews claiming that \u201c<em class=\"markup--em markup--p-em\">most women secretly crave Alt-Right boyfriends because they want \u201calpha genes\u201d and \u201calpha sperm.\u201d<\/em>\u201d. It is in the context of elevating MRAs and MRA adjacent white cis men, a group that until recently was portrayed in popular media as stereotypically \u201c<em class=\"markup--em markup--p-em\">unattractive<\/em>\u201d and \u201c<em class=\"markup--em markup--p-em\">undesirable<\/em>\u201d, that Spencer\u2019s advancement to the status of fashion icon takes on a whole new level. This is particularly noteworthy when he has expressed <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonpost.com\/local\/lets-party-like-its-1933-inside-the-disturbing-alt-right-world-of-richard-spencer\/2016\/11\/22\/cf81dc74-aff7-11e6-840f-e3ebab6bcdd3_story.html\" data-href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonpost.com\/local\/lets-party-like-its-1933-inside-the-disturbing-alt-right-world-of-richard-spencer\/2016\/11\/22\/cf81dc74-aff7-11e6-840f-e3ebab6bcdd3_story.html\" class=\"markup--anchor markup--p-anchor\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">his goal<\/a> of banning interracial relationships to fulfill his political ambition of an all white ethno-state where women would return to their traditional role of bearing children. His remarks about \u201c<em class=\"markup--em markup--p-em\">alpha sperm<\/em>\u201d cannot be separated from his insistence on being perceived as \u201cdesirable\u201d since he is promoting his political ideology and, by association its supporters as equally desirable and sexually attractive.<\/p>\n<p name=\"d978\" id=\"d978\" class=\"graf graf--p graf-after--p\">Up until recently, eugenics related discourses were treated by mainstream media as either Nazi extremist \u201cdeviations\u201d or marginal phenomenons, relegating them to <a href=\"http:\/\/mentalfloss.com\/article\/27016\/guy-who-invented-corn-flakes-was-strange-strange-man\" data-href=\"http:\/\/mentalfloss.com\/article\/27016\/guy-who-invented-corn-flakes-was-strange-strange-man\" class=\"markup--anchor markup--p-anchor\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">historical footnotes<\/a> such as John Harvey Kellogg\u2019s <em class=\"markup--em markup--p-em\">Race Betterment Foundation<\/em>.
