It was true, I had always realized it—I hadn’t any “right” to exist at all. I had appeared by chance, I existed like a stone, a plant, a microbe. I could feel nothing to myself but an inconsequential buzzing. I was thinking…that here we are eating and drinking, to preserve our precious existence, and that there’s nothing, nothing, absolutely no reason for existing.
Jean-Paul Sartre, Nausea

sartre began to lose popularity when he questioned the colonialist objective of his own country and western/european powers. the basic questions surrounding our freedom is eternal. i think it is better to exist with the concept that we have freedom, even if it is illusory, than the concept that we dont.

If any one is interested in real philosophy they should learn from Plato, Aristole and the Scholastics( and from the Germans). This means that you should are expected to learn ancient Greek, Latin and German. The order in which you study is rational philosophy, moral philosophy and natural philosophy. I have learnt rational philosophy but indeed to skip to Natural Philosophy( part of Natural Philosophy called Metaphysics)

Sartre was a great enemy of fascism, anti-Semitism, racism and the rigid hierarchy of capitalist society. The rejection of mass murder for political reasons greatly influenced his philosophy. Existentialism is a celebration of life, freedom and the problematization of unreflective consensuses that make injustice invisible and preserved, from the political and social level to the personal and psychological level. I think he would not be able to calmly accept the genocide of Palestinian children in Gaza. Under Netanyahu's bestial government, Israel is a violent and bloodthirsty representation of the deepest denial of everything that Sartre considered good, beautiful and fair. Existentialism would now side with the Jewish rabbis who are attacked and even arrested because they dare to raise their voices against the genocide of the Palestinians promoted by Zionism with the nauseating support of the French, German, American and English authorities.
