He is a french existentialist (meme philosophy for overgrown teenagers) meme philosopher that takes absolutely no intellectual ability to read. You can read his books quickly and once and get everything out of it. Most basedmen hear about him from either Wisrcrack or Chapo Traphouse (low-midwit bugman central).
He tries to tell people to have a gentle indifference to life and society and to embrace what he see as their "absurd" nature, which appeals to consumers because they want to feel as if they are different and anything less than worthless. His books are really to be consumed and not lived by. Many people who skim them are just living vicariously through their characters to feel like their favourite nihilist main character from x tv show.
Existentialism is for closet homo-sexuals (read Satre's reaction to the Nazis marching through Paris) who want to feel big brained but don't want to impose any obligations on themselves that would curb their staple of weed, "philosophy of Rick and Morty" videos and Blacked.com. Fact is you, me and everyone was brought into this world and your indentity produced because of, and to serve positive infinite returns (evolution, Capitalism etc. etc.).

How so? Foucault and Butler both argue for the legitemacy of power dynamics being excercized contextually, and specifically state that this means that whether or not someone is "the oppressor" or "the oppressed" can be reversed. Butler recognizes the legitemacy and positive elements of masculine expression instead of getting hung up on the "durrr but its a construct" line which means literally nothing because not only does something being constructed not imply that it is unreal, it suggests it is real since it's been constructed.

Trust me, none of these people read the first fucking thing these scholars have written, it's all badly diluted dimestore interpretations. Neither Butler and Foucault even provide any constructive project at all and claim to be working purely on analysis, which is to their detriment, but also means that SJWs definitely are not the attempt to "apply" their ideas since the ideas they present have nothing to do with application, and the people who would supposedly be applying these ideas also overwhelmingly don't even know the source of their own sophistic moralizing besides "it's the current year" and "it's not my job to educate you."

notice how they're obsessed with the idea that "the left controls academia".
liberals just want to APPEAR to be smart. So they become leftist and spout leftist ideology because that's what "smart liberals do". Echo chamber.
but very few can actually defend their position in a debate of ideas.
most liberals just resort to insults.

It's a bit more complicated than that as personal opinions are formed in response to, as imitation of, and by reflecting upon other opinions. The best way to separate oneself from common opinion is not to adopt uncommon opinions but to cultivate more structured forms of belief or thinking (system or ways of thought that don't boil down to easily descriptible preference choices, religious or philosophical systems for instance, or practical guidelines for action).

Part of it doesn't come from actual books, rather online articles from "News Sites" like Cosmopolitan, Buzzfeed, Daily Mail, etc.
Other part of it again doesn't come from books, but from circlejerk conversations and posts mainly from Tumblr, which often have their basis on the previously stated articles
Books play a very minor role in their beliefs, as they're hardly the kind of people who read anything other than popular books among Tumblr fandoms, like Harry Potter or Hunger Games. If anything those sort of books are used by them more as an analogy to real life ( "OMG Trump is LITERALLY worse than Voldemort" ). Other than those, they'll most likely read books which have come as of late and cater to their inferiority complex or books they think are "deep", Rupi Kaur for example. I could not tell you any specific titles or authors of the books which cater to them as while I have caught a glimpse of such I never paid enough attention to remember any particular one. A quick browse through a popular bookstore or in the bookstore's site will give you a selection of such books.
But still, I still doubt these books play any file, as these kind of people prefer information to be fed to them with a golden spoon through cheap articles and posts.

This. These "people" are just conformists. Nothing more nothing less. These people were never "converted" to their beliefs they just have them because "they feel right" (ie. Safe). It's actually quite interesting: onions morality is based on what they feel is acceptable and safe to believe and not anything deeper than that. When they spout the mantra "morality is subjective" they don't actually no what they mean. It isn't to say that morality is objective, but rather that what they subjectively "feel" is moral and not actual subjective moral doctrine: imposed on yourself through your will or on others through power.

After a night of drinking in DC with my buddies I got an Uber home after the metro started smoking. I did Uber pool or whatever it was where you save money by sharing the ride. Of course the driver is a morbidly obese negro woman who’s car stinks of weed. It was a couple, the guy a fat little tubbie manchild who went to some school that I can’t remember but I do remember that it wasn’t impressive and he acted like it was. And the girl was thin and would have honestly been hot but she had super short hair that was dyed white or pink. She wore those thick glasses you always see on girls like this. She also had on a nice Patagonia pullover and grey jeans and big boots and she was kinda hit except I knew for a fact that she was the female version of a woke söyböy. The guy was söy incarnate. He was going on a “date” with this girl but they were just friends and he had no fucking shot. So much so that she was actually flirting with me. They thought I was a drunk frat boy, because I was, but I revealed that I run a book club for a farming-based internet community and we were reading “The Road” by McCarthy. She didn’t know who McCarthy was. The topic of literature came up because they told me that they had spent their Saturday night in some boutique liberal coffee shop/craft bookstore where the male had picked out, quote, “a bromantic fan-fiction detective story where Obama and Biden team up to solve crimes”.

I laughed right in his retarded little face (drunkenly), but then I rolled it back and said oh haha that’s whacky, never heard of that!

But that was unironically what he brought a girl to do in DC. Visit a coffee shop/bookstore and buy Obama fan-fiction, unironically.

Even this drunk frat boy who sat in the front seat of an Uber was more well-read than him. It was absolutely despicable. The girl thought I was talking about Kerouac’s “On The Road”, because I guess she wasn’t versed in midwit tier McCarthy books. Turns out she hasn’t read fucking anything but handmaids tale and other nonsense.

These people are fucking jokes. They’re literally children and they don’t read real books, if they even read at all. This manchild unashamedly admitted that he reads LIBERAL Obama Biden detective fan fiction. Revolting.

they don't read at all; the ones who do get called "champagne socialists"
a leftist coworker of mine interrupted a casual convo about greek/roman literature i was having with my boss
"who cares what they thought they had slaves"
"people only read that stuff to feel smart"
when my boss politely counter-argued that we shouldn't take our morality for-granted and understanding the past is a good way to avoid the same pitfalls, he goes
"you don't need to read to be moral, you just absorb morality through socialization"
