The Chinaman of Königsberg

>disagrees with Kant >refers to him as “the Chinaman of Königsberg” >refuses to elaborate further >leaves

A stern, mustached man in a suit is shown beneath a four-line text describing him disagreeing with Kant, calling him “the Chinaman of Königsberg,” refusing to explain, and leaving. The joke parodies imageboard-style abrupt arguments and uses an absurd nickname for Immanuel Kant, who was associated with Königsberg. It is sent as a reaction to someone making an unexplained contrarian claim and walking away.
