Existentialists are like large diapered infants who need to be spanked and thrown out with the bathwater. lol

Maybe you could elaborate on why you feel that way so there's something to actually respond to?

I understand that the Situationists were ultimately influenced by the existentialist philosophy of the times but I draw a line between belief in an existentialist ontology and engaging with existentialist ideas. I don't believe that emancipatory politics are compatible with an existentialist ontology. The Situationists were Marxists after all.

Can you expand on what you consider existentialist ontology? Existence precedes essence, or something more specific?

Implying if you aren't an existentialist you are a nihilist?

No, just suggesting if we’re hating on a group, it should be the worst one.
