When did you realize that Diogenes was right?

For me, it was when I realized that our society sucks in the same ways, if not more so, than the Greco-Roman societies.

Why are you using the internet? Shouldn't you be rummaging through a restaurant dumpster for food right now?

why is the perspective in that image so shit? Alexander is blocking the light yet Diogenes is still fully in the sunlight

In his defence, you can't deny that Diogenes would be using the internet nowadays.

>>1200977
Because now that we have welfare we can be NEETgods as opposed to being homeless.

>>1200992
You completely misunderstand Diogenes

>>1200986
I can't imagine him doing anything besides watching porn on a public library computer

Alexander is the Sun.

You can see where his shadow hits behind Diogenes body and on his leg. He's clearly leaning forward so his head and face are on a closer plane.

If you know the basics of Cynism you could say. No, he would not be using the internet.

Diogenes philosophy was to live as simple a life as possible. He choose to live in barrel because it was simple, that's also why he dressed in rags and didn't use utensils to eat. The guy was not born poor but choose voluntary poverty.

Not only would a modern day Diogenes not have the internet he wouldn't even have electricity. He'd probably join an amish community or go live outdoors.

Diogenes had a house. He gave it up for the barrel.

Did Diogenes bring his laundry to his mom like that guy Henry David Thoreau?
>>

Diogenes read/wrote books and spoke to people, odds are he would justify his purchase of a small computer by saying it allows him access to the world's greatest source of info and porn, and the connector of humanity.
>>
Diogenes would have probably shitposted in a university library and spent most of his days interrupting philosophy class lectures.

It's the point dickface.
