"Smoking," the Left-wing existentialist wrote, is "the symbolic equivalent of destructively appropriating the entire world."
This kind of reasoning is caused by smoking something other than tobacco.

Hell is other ppl is a funny line, but philosophy is mostly an old europe waste of time if you ask me. Endless droning on about Hegel and marx and Kierkagaard, and none of it relevant to life in any measureable way. Just a waste of time.

I have a big photo poster of Monet with a battered hat and a cigarette in his mouth. I suppose he's next on their list.

What year is it exactly? I could have sworn we had passed 1984.

And yet in its poster for an exhibition to mark the hundredth anniversary of Sartre's birth the Bibliothèque Nationale de France decided, destructively or not, to edit out the philosopher's Gauloise.At the risk of being accused of hyperbole and gratuitous exaggeration, I can't help but note the company this puts France in...
Think. What countries come to mind who have attempted to revise or "forget" reality by airbrushing historical photographs, thereby "erasing" actual history for political purposes?
Sadly, one of those countries is the U.S., reference FDR...

Sartre with a cigarette ..into the "memory hole"....why we have always been at war with Eurasia... How prophetic Orwell was when he wrote 1984.

Whenever I think of Satre, I think of that song, "I'm a loser baby, so why don't you kill me."
That the French would honor this schlep speaks volumes.

This kind of idiocy almost makes me want to START smoking...just to tick these clowns off. Instead, I'll just stay alive longer and drive 'em nuts.
