Reading how he came up is like watching Johnny Rotten advertise butter, if advertising butter was as bad as debasing currency

    “The only place to spit in a rich man’s house is his face” - Diogenes

    Pretty based if you ask me

    Diogenes was based because he practiced what he preached.

    To consider debasement of currency as bad I must first respect the concept of cash capital.

    Therefore, Diogenes is based.

      Diogenes on being hungry 👌

      If only it was as easy to banish hunger by rubbing the belly as it is to masturbate.

      Sounds kinda based to me

          You see, every one else thought currency was pretty based, but Diogenes saw it for the facade of civility it was. So he definitely debased currency.
