I personally never heard of Diogenes untill now so I appreciate you bringing him to my attention.
In regards to his philosophy I can see great wisdom in it. For if you can let go of all worldly possessions you are not beholden to the tax man or any authority and are free.
My favorite quote which brought smile and laugh to my face , “Far be it from me to make insults! But I do want to compliment your hair for having abandoned such a worthless head.” 😆
Diogenes' point of view reminds me a lot of that of Chuang Tzu -- who lived in the same period as Diogenes. Must have been something in the air. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zhuang_Zhou
He own nothing and was happy
But it was his choice and not mandated by the "elites"

Interesting, makes the decision to live without anything a little bit easier when it's already been taken away
He did not live in a 15 minute city, nor was he vaccinated.
