To be honest with you, labelling the other side as 'insane' has pretty much been one of the number one strategies throughout human history for getting rid of any sort of opposition. In terms of 'party-goers' though, are you talking about actual parties like hang-outs and such, or something else?

Not that it didn't happen before, but this is a phenomenon that's very much accelerated in the modern era. As scientific categorisation developed faster the Victorians started attributing everything, from homeless to women disobeying their husbands, to forms of madness. I'd guess it's no coincidence one of the kings most remembered as mad ruled England at the beginning of the nineteenth century, but I havent read ebough Foucault to be sure.

Oh wait. We were going for a less serious thread?
