The problem with stoicism is that Marcus Aurelius was a *literal cuckold* whose wife fucked other men. Being stoic in the face of systemic abuse by the elites is making you a cuckold just like Aurelius. The primary thing you should ask yourself before subscribing to a philosophy is if you want to live a life much like the other people who adhere to it? Because martyrdom is pretty glorious and admirable, and I can’t think of something more awesome than seeing the lamentations of your bleeding enemies.
