      How do you think Marx was able to make his ideology so popular? He invented Christmas to instill communist ideals into the minds of everyone who celebrates the holiday

        So that’s why Santa went from green to RED!

    Diogenes: I shat in your stocking.

      Diogenes gets to much credit for acting like a Hobo, he was just a cynical edge lord before it became popular. Who made a name for himself by acting up in public. He should be ashamed of himself for presenting such destructive and inaccurate ideas as a beneficial philosophy.

        Idk, people who aspire to manifest diogenes are still better than people who aspire to manifest any billionaire.

        I just thought it was funny that for a Roman historian such as yourself, the comic highlighted thinkers from the 16th, 17th, 18th, 19th centuries … jumps over to a Greek and completely skipped over the entire Roman era.

          Oh, that’s the terrible part about me - I’m horribly lazy. I just share what I find elsewhere, very rarely do I MAKE memes! XD

          To be fair, Roman philosophy is… less than robust, lmao. The best two Roman philosophers (Marcus Aurelius and Musonius Rufus) are both very orthodox Stoics in the Greek tradition.

    I think I’ll go with Socrates. The unexamined Christmas is not worth celebrating.

      I would argue the examined Christmas is hard to celebrate.

    I think Marx would be down with the era of wassailing Christmas celebrations. The poor get drunk and take the belongings of rich.

    Descartes is pretty accurate to me trying to get into the festive mood this year
