I disagree with his ideals, but respect him for living by them.

funny but philosophically unimportant

Not really. His works influenced Zeno, who would found Stoicism, which was a considerable influence on early Christianity.
One of my favorite philosophers to meme about

oh yeah, in some historical sense he's not insignificant, i mean that when we look back on his ideas he was just a funny homeless guy. he really doesn't have much of import to say.
The epitome of how a human being should live. A righteous man purely rooted in the stark human existence. May his atoms power the nuclear fusions of future stars.

I don't think that's a fair assessment. His works didn't survive, so we don't really know. I'd say going by the fact his works formed the basis of a highly influential philosophical school, that they likely weren't without merit.

>look at all these unfulfilled plebs dancing like marionettes to the music of a virtueless drama called society
*eats obnoxiously during play*
*pisses on police station*
*yells something about honest men to people in the supermarket*
>they'll never understand what it means to know living like me

yeah. IF people lived like him the world would be a better place in a lot of ways, but they can't. He had a strong case of Asperger's and thought he could scream everyone into not caring about stupid shit.

This is beautiful anon. It elevated me like prayer. Maybe it's because i'm high but I believe that i never read something that has no religious aspects, but elevates me to a mystic stay. I'm Catholic, but now i undertsand that you can have a materialistic rapture. Thanks for the experience anon.
He was the first shitposter

THE ABSOLUTE MADMAN

basically this
Diogenes was great because he was a skeptic, and he was trolling Greek society for having its head up its own ass.
He's not an edgelord because edgelords are serious. He's a shitposter.
Personally I like him just because he was, essentially, a philosopher Oscar the Grouch.
