you need to realice that Athens was a small place at that time. So small that any figure that was "prominent" would get some kind of fame (altough Diogenes did desrve it) There might be a lot of people that follow on his footsteps at this moment, but they don't have any kind of exposure.

That homeless crackhead would have to be able to embarass top scholars (featherless biped anecdote) and then casually shit on world leaders who seeked his company in the first place (Alexander the Great anecdote). After that, the modern day Diogenes would have to do the equivalent of wanking in public. I'm honestly drawing a blank myself.

Diogenes was a myth and never existed. Also, Alcibiades was a secret service agent working for the Phoenician merchants (and most likely was himself, seeing as though Nestor was from Pylos, a major port at the time on the southwest coast of Greece run by the Phoenicians) and his job was to spread chaos.

Hilariously, I remember a guy who called himself Diogenes was making the rounds on Internet Bloodsports and the Ralph Retort a while back. He was an insufferable faggot who claimed everybody was a hypocrite before getting called out on shit and then going into radio silence for minutes on air. But for my answer, I'd have to say that Terry A. Davis, Alex Jones, and John McAffee all have certain qualities of a Diogenes figure. I think if historians somehow managed to conflate those three figures then you'd have something of a ringer.
