Why is stoicism so popular on reddit?
INFRAMASCULINE BUGMEN LIKE «SELFHELP AND SELFIMPROVEMENT» DRIVEL; THEY MISINTERPRET STOICISM AS BEING THAT.
>>18488140Stoicism is one of the most accessible philosophies for people who are not inclined to philosophy. Very simple and straight forward.
>>18488140Last recourse of the destitute and powerless, but incapable of drawing consolation from religion.
>>18488140>if there are gods, but unjust, you should not want to worship themThat's fucking retarded, if there are cruel gods you should do everything in your power to appease them, why would I want to anger unjust cosmic entities?
>>18488145are you a eunuch or are you a man?
>>18488145>that's fucking retarded, why would I NOT want to be a cuck?Truly one of worlds mysteries
>>18488156>>18488155>heh, me personally? I would oppose the cruel gods like my japanese videogames>row row fight the powah
>>18488169There's a difference between opposition and sucking them off
>>18488140How would you know what is popular on reddit?
>>18488140For all the blithering about doing one’s duty and doing whats right and personal responsibility it will always be fucking hilarious that Aurelius broke the chain of good emperors by choosing his degenerate psycho son as successor instead of literally anyone else Poetic irony at its finest, the faggot who couldnt stop writing about being stoic couldnt be a stoic when it was time to make a hard decision
>>18488155>>18488156>Burning in hell in eternal pain and tormentHeh at least I'm not a cuck!>Skin melts and falls offAAAAAAAAAH LEMME OUT LEMME OUUUT IM SORRYYT
>>18488188>you have to suck me off or you'll burn in hell!!!>yes daddy!!! I might be a cuck but at least I won't burn in hell!!!
>>18488140tranny communist larpers
>>18488198Let's see how this rhetoric plays out for you in the real afterlife!
>>18488156"Being a cuck" is an issue when there's a violent aboriginal sitting opposite from me on the train and I refuse to move my seat.Whether an ant was "Being a cuck" matters very little to me when I kill 50 of them by accident.
>>18488140Because it is a philosophy that requires you to do literally nothing.
>>18488201
>>18488206>"Being a cuck" is an issue when there's a violent aboriginal sitting opposite from me on the train and I refuse to move my seat.Funnily enough that's exactly what your religion preaches, so either you're a cuck all the way or you're a heretic who'll also go to hell
>>18488201>Heaven is just guys telling yahweh they'll suck his dick and eat shit if they get spared hell
>>18488145That's how you become a God yourself, you fucking coward bitch faggot nigger
>>18488169>>row row fight the powahGeg
>>18488140Because they think it is goodness, but they don't realize it is 'goodness in duality', the good that gives rise to bad.
>>18488211>I don't remember anything before I was born, therefore nothing will happen after I dieA nice reddit quip but not metaphysically sound
>>18488220Okay, I'll bite the strawman.Even IF heaven is like that. Tell me, legitimately. Would you rather burn in Hell with never ending pain and suffering or would you rather praise God to escape it.Any rational actor would see the superior option.
>>18488260Asking to eat someone's shit every moment of eternity sounds like a kind of hell.
Gaytheism is popular on reddit and you have to replace God with something.Humans cannot live without faith.The only reason you would think otherwise is if you are wheelchair bound for life and even then it is debatable.
>>18488428yea and cleaning your room and keeping your kitchen free of pests eating shit you refused to clean 30+ years ago is also kinda hell lil narcissistic bro
>>18488449>Eating someone's literal fecal matter is the same as cleaning your roomWay to tell on yourself I guess. Although I have no idea if you're a coprophage or someone who really hates cleaning your room.
>>18488468post your room with timestamp right now, you have 5 minutes
>no room postedlooks like it was just another narcissistic projection from a faggot whose room looks worse than Tyler Durden's and those guys spent some real effort to make a convincingly delapitated house lol.
>>18488140Why is being an emotionally unstable crybaby who throws angry tantrums every day so popular on 4chan?
>>18488255so existing in this current life will change the quality of not existing after it?
>>18488507some of us aren't gay and it indeed will
>>18488507Assumption that we ever stop existing. Next.
>>18488140redditors aren't privy to the fact that the only way to salvation through jesus
>>18488470Post yourself begging to eat Yahweh's shit right now. You have 5 seconds.
>>18488478A) I don't live on 4chanB) I'm not going to fucking dox myselfC) Do you have any idea how easy it is to fake a clean room?
>>18488612So are evangelicals based and christpilled or heretics? You keep oscillating between you should be sola fide sola scriptura and send all your money to israel .and being a tradcath.
>>18488140Because it's something that eases interaction with the modern world. So many people have ten million loud thoughts firing off in their head at all times and their central nervous system is shot they are constantly on edge. Stoicism emphasizes taking responsibility for what you can control and forgetting the rest so it lifts a weight off you. Anxiety is your body asking your god "what do I do right now" so stoicism tells you what to do it gives you a anchor to stand on. I prefer lacan and meditation myself, far more potent and real. A true panacea for modern chronic mental illness induced by the world today
>>18488169Yes. If a god is evil, we should kill it.
>>18488446Religion is naturally insidious because of the way it maps to your psyche. >We are a subject split by language >We are fallen from god >God functions as the big other (symbolic authority that guarantees meaning) >Christianity organizes desire around prohibition: law appears, desire appears, guilt appears, confession appears , cycle restarts. >Suffering is integrated into a symbolic narrative through Christ suffering is no longer random and chaotic it's meaningful>Mediates surplus enjoyment(lacan) chiefly through the distance between you and heaven (cannot reach in this lifetime but you are promised to reach the BEST place) this generates healthy sustained desire. Christianity and probably other religions solves for mostly everything to generate meaning. Once you understand the structure around lack and desire it becomes extremely obvious how and why religion formed and why it's not real.
>>18488156God is all knowing and all powerful. If He wanted me to watch while an African American had sex with my wife I would accept that as His will without protest or even second thought because all true Christians must obey His word and His will.
>>18488141You may be loud, but you're not wrongThere are no stoics on r*ddit
>>18488186If he did choose anyone else he would create an insta succession crisis due to how roman inheritance law worked, the precedent of all the previous emperors leaving the post to his sons and only choosing some else if they didn't had any Comodus would had a claim anyway that would likely be exploited by a number of senators and army officers leading to either political instability or a civil war
