Why is existentialism just a bourgeois philosophy for the wealthy to feel good about all of muh freedoms they have?
Not only does the prole not have the privilege or time to think what he is truly free or not free to do, these conclusions won't do him any good if he decides to walk away from the life of the factory and leave his family to starve.
Easy to say your existence is your responsibility when your life was handed to you on a silver platter.

Its not the 18th Century Mate the welfare state and post industrial economy are a reality.

Easier to say that you are victim of mechanical function of society than deal with the ugly truth of individual agency.
But hey that revolution is just around the corner so no need to get off your arse

philosophy of existence. It denies eternal philosophical ideas like god or essence and only cares about what kind of shit real people get up to in the real world. supposedly. often focuses on depressing feelings of anxiety or fear.
Existentialism is something to overcome. I doubt even the bourgeois these days subscribe to it unless they are still teens
