What philosopher would you recommend to someone who has never

Plato

Also he's the least demanding because his works are just a bunch of qt Greek boys hanging out, so you'all be entertained

Hegel.

Think of it this way. If you can understand Hegel, you can understand anyone.

And hey, if the language scares you a bit, just check up on your high school philosophy textbook or the internet.
If reddit can read The Ego and its Own without having read anything before in their lives you'll be fine.

Camus is a good start, he's not a "real" philosopher but he's accessible and will guide you gently into some serious stuff.

Oh and please do not meme yourself into greeks, hegel, kant and other crap like that. It will make you sick instantly.

Stop this fucking meme. Hegel is absolutely no-go for a beginner. He requires serious background and even then is boring as fuck.
