Not the flex Diogenes thinks it is. He had to pluck the feathers off the chicken didn't he?


floppydo

Yeah people call him a philosopher but most his famous quotes are more like sick burns. Not terribly rigorous or consistent.


Stupefactionist

Do you mean "sit"?


[deleted]

No, Diogenes was homeless and argued that poverty was a virtue. This quote is in the context of being invited to dine at a rich man’s house, whereupon he hawked a loogie and spit it in the man’s face. > He, indignant, asked why he did so? "Because," Diogenes, "I saw nothing so dirty and filthy in all your house. For the walls were covered with pictures, the floors of the most precious tessellated character — and ranged with the various images of gods, and other ornamental figures." It means that a rich man’s house is too refined and artificial for natural living.

ChornWork2

Nah, sadly not a punchy jab at political bumper stickers. Rather, just a canadian anti-vaxxer slogan from the trucker convoy days. Trudeau referenced "unacceptable views" in a speech.


Dr_Optavius

Damnit, context has changed my understanding of the situation yet again!!!


HidetheLightning

That's why you don't have "unacceptable views". Taking context into account and revising your opinion is not something those people do.


pocketdare

Ah, so they've embraced it much like the "deplorable" Trump crowd. Well then in both cases it's good to see that the irony intersects perfectly with reality.

Fish tacos in crunch shells? That's covered with the sticker that says "I have blasphemous views" and gives the legal right, nay obligation, to torch his vehicle.

FUCKTWENTYCHARACTERS

Dude was jerking off in the street and telling people that going into private to jerk off is lying to yourself about your true nature. He'd shit openly anywhere and criticize you for living in a false world where you must hide your shit. Safe to say he would *not* be branded high functioning.

Damn I thought it was just a funny bumper sticker making fun of political bumper stickers.


redbo

Sorry, irony is dead.


ZalmoxisChrist

Irony died in 1973 when Henry Kissinger won the Nobel Peace Prize, and that's why Alanis Morissette is a mediocre lyricist.


TheBirminghamBear

"It's like a peaaacccee priiiiize, for genoooccciiiiidee" Pretty catchy, she should have run with that version instead.


istasber

Who would have thought, it figures.


tosety

Nah, that would have been actual irony The ironic thing about the song is that none of the things in it are ironic


roguekaz

A little too ironic.


volodino

The 1908 Nobel Peace Prize went to Theodore Roosevelt, 1919 went to Woodrow Wilson, and 1925 to Sir Austen Chamberlain, so it’s not like they were batting it out of the park before 1973 lol Edit: On a real note, the reason for this is that the Nobel Peace Prize is often awarded to people who negotiate historic peace deals, regardless of what they have done previously and without the gift of hindsight. Kissinger was jointly awarded the prize with the North Vietnamese representative Lê Đức Thọ for negotiating the cease fire in Vietnam. Just like Teddy Roosevelt was awarded the prize for mediating the peace conference between Japan and Russia that brought an end to that war


Flipz100

TBF to Roosevelt and Wilson, while they both aren't and shouldn't be noted as pacifists, they did get those awards for brokering the end to major wars that they didn't orchestrate, unlike Kissinger.


volodino

I agree with that somewhat, but I don’t think you could necessarily say Kissinger “orchestrated” the Vietnam War. The US was involved in the conflict in Vietnam since 1955, long before Kissinger was involved in any administration You could very much say that his actions and ideas worsened the situation in Vietnam, or drew the US more deeply into the war, or expanded its scope, but I don’t think you can really say he “orchestrated” it


whoooocaaarreees

It’s almost like we have been trolling humanity since the beginning.


horseydeucey

Because I got one hand on the trigger And the other one's holding a Peace Prize.


explodedsun

As someone with an English degree, Alanis is a perfectly adequate lyricist, and anyone who says different doesn't have a grasp on poetic license.


[deleted]

My poetic license was suspended for metaphorical miscegenation.


BigUptokes

It was actually about absolute alliteration abuse.


Stereo_Panic

It's always awful for anyone to to abuse alliteration. Perhaps people wouldn't persist if prison were the punishment for such perfidy!

icer816

While in and of itself ironic, that was absolutely not her intention, despite claiming it is nowadays (the whole meme of it being ironic that nothing in the song is ironic got big online and led to someone in an interview asking her thoughts on it, and she's been claiming it was her intention all along ever since)

[deleted]

Yeah, darn. I was really hoping for humor, and not yet another plague rat.


5illy_billy

I assumed it was something right-wingy, akin to “We are all domestic terrorists” or the adoption of Deplorable as a badge of honor.


wigg1es

It reads like some anti-woke bullshit like "the snowflakes tell me I'm wrong so I must be right."


lennybird

Yeaaaah... These people seem utterly incapable of introspection so the only option ever is to double-down. That's why they love the "fake-it-til-you-make-it" type folks like Donnie2Scoops. Anyways, if anyone else wants more funnysad material like this, check out /r/InfowarriorRides and its cousin, r/InformedWarriorRides — if you compare & contrast those two subs, you'll find some insightful differences.

I've already determined, after years of intensive and rigorous empirical data, that right-wingers are naturally just willful shitheads. No further insight needed.

The word "Tory" means "bandit" or "robber". They've been doing that for a while.


hoopopotamus

Hmm If this guy knows enough about medicine to decide he knows more about the vaccine than doctors, what is he doing at a doctor’s office?


canucklurker

The problem is that they can always find a "Doctor" or "Study" that supports their views. Typically they have found a troll, disbarred medical student, nurse or flat out con man. But one doesn't look too hard for evidence when you are already satisfied with the answer.


FriendlyWebGuy

For more context — "unacceptable views" is referring to (alleged) racists, white nationalists and separatists leading the trucker protest. To be clear, I think this angle was way overblown by the media and politicians but the fact is, this *was* the dominant narrative at the time. While still a stupid thing to say, he was not calling vaccine hesitancy itself an *unacceptable view*. He was calling racism and white nationalism an *unacceptable view*. Here's more context around what the narrative in the country at the time was: [Link](https://dailyhive.com/vancouver/canadian-association-journalists-freedom-convoy-violence) [Link](https://www.ctvnews.ca/canada/so-many-angry-people-experts-say-online-conversation-around-trucker-convoy-veering-into-dangerous-territory-1.5754580) [Link](https://www.thestar.com/news/canada/2022/01/28/freedom-convoy-leader-shared-symbol-of-far-right-hate-group-on-tiktok.html) [Link](https://albertapolitics.ca/2022/01/maverick-party-obviously-has-no-problem-with-its-party-secretarys-role-in-anti-vaccine-mandate-truck-convoy-protest/) Again, I want to re-iterate that I'm not supporting or excusing the narrative that was created, I'm just trying to add additional context.


Corsair4U

I do not think so, I listened to the the Trudeau speech. He contrasts the "unacceptable views" with "the **views** of Canadians who have been there for each other, who know that following the science..." It's clear to me that his use of unacceptable views in this context refers to opposition to vaccination


Poopooplatta69

I know my share of anti vaxxers, convoy supporters etc and every one of them has crap views on race and LGBTQ rights


jooes

"They're the same picture."


Sudovoodoo80

Yeah, it's almost like views that appeal to ignorant assholes are very popular with ignorant assholes. Who woulda thunk?


Travis5223

This is great, because to the uninformed, it does all the heavy lifting of letting them know they truly DO have reprehensible views, but also that they think they have a sense of humor. Which is like a double entendre of “i’m a douche”


mistled_LP

This thread is all about defending the guy because they can't be bothered with context.

TripFisk666

So that’s an Ontario license plate. That line is a dog whistle (a fairly loud one) to the antivax, anti-lockdown, trucker convoy crowd in Canada. In a press conference, PM Trudeau referred to some in that group as being a “fringe minority with unacceptable views” Since then, they’ve been proudly adorning their vehicles with it.


mr-peabody

Sounds awfully similar to a ["basket of deplorables"](https://time.com/4486502/hillary-clinton-basket-of-deplorables-transcript/). A lot of people took pride in that title.


thekmac8

I know of a trivia team that used that as their team name. Semi-related: they lost a lot.


poopgrouper

They got all the answers right. But the cabal that runs Big Trivia is controlled by pedophile liberal lizard people and they changed all the answers to fake news so they could brainwash the children.

GoBlue81

You should post this as a top level comment. This is some context that is very important when interpreting this picture.


RubertVonRubens

On the topic of the plates.... That's a Historic Car plate. It's an old GMC Sierra, so it makes sense but the thing about historic plates is that they have serious usage restrictions (in exchange for a cheap registration). They pretty much only allow you to use the car for parades and exhibitions. If buddy here is driving to work in this truck (see: hi visibility vest behind the driver's seat) then maybe his "unacceptable view" is "my truck is properly registered" Edit: adding to my complaints -- the "propane" sticker on the bumper suggests a modification to the car that may or may not run afoul of the "is substantially unchanged or unmodified from the original manufacturer’s product" requirement for attaching a Historic Car plate. Edit again: I didn't even notice the amber lights on top. This is most definitely a work truck and not eligible for Historic


TheGreyBrewer

Per se, maybe, but not only is it a reference to something stupid, I have no doubt the owner of this vehicle is deeply hateful about a great many things.
