  Wrong community. This is for shitposts, not depressing factual information.

  Hey kids, don’t engage with society. It’s a lost cause. Get a shell, find an island, and start over. It’s so much better than this.

  Don’t worry, the tankies will replace the capitalist grinder with a communist one.

  Eventually.

  For some reason, I am starting to feel closer to the methods of Diogenes as I get older. If you’re not familiar with him, I suggest you read at least the intro on his Wikipedia page…. actually, I’ll just copy it here:

  Diogenes the Cynic (/daɪˈɒdʒɪniːz/, dy-OJ-in-eez; c. 413/403 – c. 324/321 BC), also known as Diogenes of Sinope, was an ancient Greek philosopher during the period of Classical Greece, and one of the founders of Cynicism.

  Renowned for his ascetic lifestyle and radical critiques of social conventions, he became a legendary figure whose life and teachings have been recounted, often through anecdote, in both antiquity and modernity. Diogenes advocated for a return to nature, the renunciation of wealth, and introduced early ideas of cosmopolitanism by proclaiming himself a “citizen of the world”.

  Diogenes was born to a prosperous family in Sinope. His life took a dramatic turn following a scandal involving the debasement of coinage, an event that led to his exile and ultimately his radical rejection of conventional values. Embracing a life of poverty and self-sufficiency, he became famous for his unconventional, shameless behaviors that openly challenged societal norms, such as living in a jar or wandering public spaces with a lit lantern in daylight, claiming to be “looking for a man”, that is to say “for a wise man” (sophos).
