One of the most wishy-washy, bourgeois philosophy out there. Bitch I know I exist, now how is that going to help us get rid of capitalism.

Camus saved my life. Sure, he won't help me (or us) overthrow capitalism right here right now, but I couldn't cope with the sisyphean task of everyday existence, let alone partaking in a movement without him.
Sometimes, it's the small things, you know.
Satre saved me (he had a couple of really bad takes though)
I'm not saying Camus didn't have bad takes, hell his personal life was one big bad take - I'm not even saying Camus is helpful in general, just that he was helpful to me at a time when I needed it. And I think that may be the case for Existentialism as a whole, though I haven't read very much in that area - still, it can be helpful sometimes to some people in some contexts; and it isn't 'stupid' :angery:
