    Modern takes on old isms always tend to directly oppose the whole point of the original idea. Cherry pickers do that with everything over time. Stoicism has a lot to say about the weakness of being a cause of harm to others and to nature. But I’m sure they glossed over those parts, only attracted to the “Me, me, me.” and never thinking why.

    I’ve yet to see any of these broicism ads, so I’ll just pretend they don’t exist and laugh at the ridiculousness of the idea.

    This clearly demonstrates the superiority of cynicism (hail Diogenes!) over stoicism. Now, let’s all get naked and masturbate during the morning commute.
