haha this is a careful reminder that language experts have been combing over old orthodox greek texts, and reminded us that the stoics never made an exception for women and slaves. That shit was added by misogynyst and racist Europeans long after the fact.
Also, additionally, the stoics would hate some of the self proclaimed stoics of today, because they don’t understand stoicism, let alone any other philosophy.
In fact, if anyone calls them self a stoic, chances are they are repressive, delusional and living in their tiny, disinformed and narcecistic bubbles and listen to Andrew Tate as well as Joe Rogan podcasts, both which also would be hated by the stoics, because they are fake intellectuals.
“But stoics don’t feel hate”
You can’t possibly be this stupid. They had an absolute disdain for anti-intellectualism, or those who posed as intellectuals.
The real crux of stoicism? When do you apply scepticism, when do you apply cynicism, what notions do you actually entertain in your brain hole? That’s it. It’s literally a priority system for your brain.
Ipso facto: these fuckfaces with podcasts ain’t stoics. They’re just narcecists.
Me: <tells friends how I’m feeling> Friends: “that sucks.” <pained expression>
Turns out talking about your feelings doesn’t help if no one can help with the problem.
There’s two sides to that coin though. Often times people just want to vent and trying to solve all their problems for them can be frustrating.
