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.

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

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

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

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

I would argue the examined Christmas is hard to celebrate.

Precisely.

Aristotle would have at least taken a whack at it.
