I've never read his works by the way, any recommendations?

No, he's a pretentious shit lib. Literally married to Simone de Beauvoir, the mother of feminism, and it was an open relationship. I only know him because I majored in philosophy and had to. I'd recommend checking his wikipedia page, spending ten or fifteen minutes on it, and then go find a better thinker to invest the kind of serious time and effort it takes to read a book by a pretentious dude of another era that was translated from another language.

You forgot he was a paedophile and horrifically ugly

paedophile

Shit, I didn't even know this.

Not surprised though.

He signed the petition to eliminate the age of consent, he and his wife both advocated for paedophilia. We can only assume they were both raping kids in their free time, based on his physiognomy it's not really surprising.

Let me just check his Wikipedia real quick, yep - there it is:

was a French philosopher

Every. Single. Time.

He literally wrote books about anti-semitism. He was the ultimate shabbos goy.

Of course, I'm mostly just memeing, but there really is a pattern to be noticed of pretentious French philosophers spewing absolute crap that gets taken way too seriously.

This shit all started in France. The French revolution was the big bang of POZ, which is not to say that the cracks weren't started earlier.

A great deal of his stuff was written while he was on speed. I think this influenced both his thinking and his writing style probably to his detriment although how you would prove it, I don't know.
