    I saw a youtube title calling philosophers a bunch of white guys jerking each other off and I have never heard a more apt description since. Hell, even legendary philosopher Karl Marx made a fuck ton of mistakes until he actually went out in the real world and put his ideas to test; what hope do you think someone who literally sits around thinking about pointless “what-ifs” with them and their debate bros has?

      Buddha, Confucius, Jesus: were nonwhite and such notable philosophers they each founded a religion based on their teachings

      You: I’m gonna pretend I didn’t see that

      The closest thing white people have to anything on the level of those three is Alistair Crowley, and you’ve probably never heard of him.
