The Sun Tzu Fake Quote meme parodies the common internet phenomenon of misattributing philosophical wisdom to the author of The Art of War. These memes typically feature a traditional portrait of Sun Tzu alongside a quote that is either blatantly modern, absurd, or comedically aggressive. The trend highlights the humor in using a prestigious historical figure to validate ridiculous advice or internet slang. It became a viral sensation across social media platforms like Reddit and Twitter, serving as a satire of both pseudo-intellectualism and the proliferation of fake quotes online.
