Man where is philosophymemes. Lemmy needs a community like this so bad.

I think you just appointed yourself founder and moderator

Nah I’m already modding 4 communities and have a disabling illness I’m sure someone else has more free time to do it.

I have to go with Marx, he looks the most like Santa.

[–] RandomVideos@programming.dev 5 points 2 years ago (1 children)

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

[–] Funkytom467@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago

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

Diogenes: I shat in your stocking.

[–] stupidcasey@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago (2 children)

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.

Found Plato

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

Bob, my neighbor across the street: I don’t care that it’s March, I have the best Christmas lights display in the entire subdivision!

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.

[–] PugJesus@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago

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.

[–] disguy_ovahea@lemmy.world 7 points 2 years ago (1 children)

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

[–] Tedesche@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

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.

[–] 5714@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 2 years ago

I think Karl knew a thing or two about getting drunk himself.

[–] Septimaeus@infosec.pub 2 points 2 years ago

Aristotle would have at least taken a whack at it.

[–] commie@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 2 years ago

this is only the fourth day of Christmas. we are nowhere near pipers piping.

[–] edgemaster72@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

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