TL;DR
Mark Foster is an autistic communist college professor who runs a gigantic Geocities-style webpage full of Critical Theory related bullshit which he somehow ties into autism. At the time of this post, he was discovered by /pol/ a few hours ago.
Our adventure begins with this thread on 4chan's /pol/ board, where one unhappy OP complained about his new college semester. The main attraction was his new professor, who happened to be an incredibly autistic communist running a fossilized Geocities-like Web 1.0 page.

The post was widely derided as satire, especially when the OP initially refused to link to the website because it was "against the rules". Eventually however, he caved under the pressure and posted the url of his professor's website.

Turned out the OP wasn't lying. This site is easily on par with other Geocities style classics like Jesus-is-savior.com and the Time Cube. The fucking cursor is a picture of Karl Marx. The page appears to have been updated frequently over the years (more or less like a blog, though it's still just a huge wall of text) because the subject switches at random from the recent Buzzfeed "leaks" to crackpot socialist theory to Aikido. Dates are not included anywhere. The page includes beautiful quotations like:

The whole page is a nightmarish brew of Critical Theory, far left politics and autism. Reading these quotes, it probably won't come as a surprise that Foster is autistic himself. But that's not all, he also operates three websites about autism and has written an autobiography called Discovering Emancipated Autism.

Not much is known about Mark at the moment, so if you can find any additional info please post it here.

EDIT: Made a couple of minor style changes.
EDIT 2: Fixed link

Discovering Emancipated Autism.

That's literally the funniest thing I've read in days.

Anyone want to do a book version of Kiwi Movie Night? I can see this really being a fun group read for us to laugh at to broaden our perspectives of neurological conditions.
 
Just noticed I posted it in the wrong subforum. Should I delete it now or wait for a moderator to move the thread?
 
I just reported it, shouldn't be too long until the move to the proper forum.
 
Did he already delete his website or is it overloaded because Geocities is a shit host? I hope the former because it just cements his exceptionality. Any archive?

EDIT: It's still there, but the first link to it is wrong.

So I found this dead thread and decided to see if this guy is still around. It turns out he is even though he retired from academia. http://markfoster.tel/
Archive: https://archive.ph/43zD3

The link shows where he worked at. The Johnson County Community College in the Department of Sociology in Overland Park, Kansas.

He is still active on his Youtube channel. Also, @DavidFerrie you are correct. He is Ba'hai according to his Youtube channel description.
I am a retired college sociology professor, an author, and an Autist. My academic interests include religious studies, social theory, Bhaskarian critical realism, socialism from below-Third Worldism, (Maoism-Third Worldism), intersectional Marxism, kyriarchy, Antifa, clinical scciology, public sociology, and journalism. Although I was born and raised in a NYC secular Jewish family, I am a member of the Bahá’í Faith. The subject of my religion is not discussed on the channel.
