Roman emperor for 19 years. He is a stoicist, did give people justice and there is really nothing quite like this guy in the history of mankind.
>>
His wife though...

working for a stoic would be the best job in the world because they want to solve all their problems alone.

Nope, stoics want to help but also expect you to be a virtuous man who also aims to help. Do mot believe him to tell you, you did well.

Gladiator was Commodus.

>>544926775
no, at the beginning of the movie it was Marcus Aurelius
Commodus killed him

More like defending the Northern limes against Barbarian Germanics (mostly Macromannen).

I don’t think the border problems 2000 years ago are relevant for “Germania”. Germans were in a constant state of war with neighbors… be it Romans or other Germans.

Christians aren‘t Stoics, quite on the contrary. Christians were like the Jews back then, a tightly associated, secret underground cult.

His biggest mistake was making Commodus emperor

Shouldn't you been on your way to your local synagogue to suck off your local rabbi so you can hear Christ's balls in your fucked up mutt head, evangelist cuckold.

True but the alignment is too similar for arelius not to have bit from them. I don’t think you have read the New Testament…. Whether your Atheist or not idc… you’ll see how he bit off of Christianity

Funnily enough, Marcus Aurelius in his whole reign never enacted any rule or law in place against Christians.

Also, like there were 100k-200k Christians out of 60 million Romans. It’s like rastas today.

The most extreme polar opposite of Trump in every way
>>
>>544929363
I read parts of the New Testament, my Catholic grade school teacher was a nun.

Stoics do not follow various of Christian teachings. Stoicism says you can accumulate wealth and you can punch a bad person (no offering the other cheek) but you should lead a righteous life.
>>
>>544929787

They were persecuted under his rule….and he didn’t enact a rule personally because he was low key Christian and didn’t want to admit it. Imagine one of you prime ministers converting to Taoism in the middle of their reign. Except back then they would’ve beheaded you.
>>
>>544926435
Imagine working for Nero
>>
>>544929979
And you read “parts”. Seriously read the whole thing…you’ll see that the majority of arelius teaching were cherry picked copy pasta
>>
>>544929808
Yes

The core difference runs in opposite directions. Marcus held almost unlimited legal power and restrained himself; Trump holds constitutionally limited power and presses against the limits. That's why "in a republic" matters: for Marcus the brake was his character, for Trump it's the institutions.

Power. Marcus made Lucius Verus co-emperor in 161 without needing to, and by Cassius Dio's account asked the Senate for treasury money because nothing belonged to the emperor personally. Trump was the first president to use IEEPA for tariffs. When the Supreme Court struck them down 6–3 in February 2026, he called the ruling a disgrace and suggested the majority had been swayed by foreign interests, and immediately imposed a 10% global tariff under Section 122.

Opponents. After Avidius Cassius's revolt in 175, Marcus pardoned most of the rebel's followers and, per Dio, burned his letters unread. Trump pardoned about 1,500 January 6 defendants on his first day back. Comey and Letitia James were charged less than three weeks after he called for their prosecution; both cases were dismissed because the prosecutor had been unlawfully appointed, and a grand jury again declined to indict James.

Self-image. The Meditations was a private notebook, largely Marcus warning himself against vanity. Trump governs through a public persona: rallies, Truth Social, branding.

Succession. Rome had no term limits. Marcus's gravest mistake was handing power to his son Commodus instead of continuing adoptive succession. Trump has raised a third term at least a dozen times, while acknowledging the Constitution prohibits it.

War. Marcus fought on the Danube for most of his reign, out of necessity. Trump ran against foreign wars and brokered the October 2025 Gaza ceasefire, but also ordered the June 2025 strikes on Iran.

The thing I don't get about him is if he was so great why did he let his shithead son take over?

Stoicism predates christianity, and was around long before the foreign semitic religion of christianity was imported

His father unbanned circumcision, he could’ve banned it again when he took power, did nothing. Killing jews isn’t the way, you need to target and kill their identity instead (like jews do). This faggot did neither.

well, the early Christians were mainly jews. So they were right, but the Whites took it overvand cleaned it up. tull the jews got a foot in the Protestant door

>Gives his sons the worst advice and lead to one of the worst most disastrous emperors
Commodus ruined the entire Emperor because Aurelius told him to above all enrich the army. What great wisdom.
>>
>>544932290
a lot of that still rings true today, the uneducated and poor favoring Christianity, the way it all seems very extravagant and theatrical instead of simple and natural, the bitter way the particularly devout ones act when they don't think you love Jesus as much as they do.

judge a tree by its fruits
look at his son.
he clearly did something wrong. whether thats breeding the wrong woman, or being a poor father who spent too much time in his books. something went awry. not to mention the best philosophers ultimately come to understand the futility of breeding for whatever reason. my best guess is by breeding another soul is trapped, and its your fault. itd be one thing if the creation could still succeed, but by marcus aurelius' time, the writing was on the wall. the npc meta was in full effect, he shouldve noticed. he probably did. perhaps he bred out of duty. which would explain the poor outcome.

>>544933089
Yeah it fits. High IQ analytical deep-thinking guys are usually not good with women. Their energy is not interesting or compelling to women.

staying in bed is unironically very enjoyable. of course we are programmed to resist doing it. clown world.
