What do you think of when you hear the word "Stoic"?
I think of a bridge between pagans, philosophic-atheists, and Christians.
Can the Stoic be a unifying samurai-like philosophy to the Right?
It's not very esoteric. Nietzsche called out the Stoics for creating an artifice of nature, and he was right. But can it be salvaged considering Nature is a Fascist and Stoics live by rational thinking and observing nature?
Also there are too many Boomer professors teaching Stoicism in college as Communism. Their cult infects everything! Christians know what I mean by this.
You weren't fathers to us Boomer. And it took ONE Generation to destroy Western Civilization. Calling me a kike for calling out Leftist professors is pretty fucking first post.
FEDS fear the Stoic!

BUMP because the entire board is being shilled with ponie porn or e-celeb CIA threads.

Is this entire website just for Americans? I'm cool with that but it's kind of unique in that way.

Hardened and embrace the hardships regardless of what, why or how.
Nolan Carter
That sounds pretty base to me.

Lincoln Evans
The whole Rebel Media anti-boomer meme is a tactic intended to divert blame away from the true source, the Jew. Blaming boomers for what the Kikes have done in their time is like blaming women for feminism.
Eli Gomez
It might sound crazy but let me tell you why I thought of stoic. I got bullied when I was young because of my deafness and I learnt to cope with this is by respecting the nature that our almighty father gave us as the gift and see the hardships as the hope to overcome the obstacles.
Austin Walker
Dude, maybe you're one of the good ones. Don't take it so personal. You're part of the WORST GENERATION.
We were raised by you fucking scum. And some of us are old enough to remember the Korean war aged people. You know they were fucking base and actually good people. YOU KNOW your generation was fucking horrrrrrrrible.
Why are you defending this? I never defend Gen Xers for being suicidal Beavis and Butthead Buffy Black Hole sons who want to die and hate the laws of nature because they dream of something better.
Why do you have to defend a bunch of spoiled TV generation brats?
It's not fucking personal but you never did ANYTHING BUT PARTY! You fucked up your kids. You destroyed your country. You destroyed WestCiv. You killed all that was good and had a great time doing it.
DON"T FUCKING COMPLAIN ABOUT IT! Be a little stoic and have some fucking balls.!
Jackson Turner
Makes perfect sense
Benjamin Sanchez
To a great extent you are right, but to a certain extent, your generation (I'm assuming you are a boomer) went along with it and had a lot of fun destroying everything that reminded you of your parents.
Like this guy said, you might be among the minority of good ones but you don't need to defend them. I'm early millenal and most of my generation stills needs work. And GenX men all talk like fags.
Camden Wright
No… that's definitly your generation. You're the fag talkers. Gen X – even in their faggest like the TV show Friends – are still super masculine compared to you weird little shits.
Adam Lee
You're the kind of person the kikes fear.
Asher Nelson
Why would the kike fear the defective person?
Jayden Morris
Read Decline of the West. The Western civilizaions philosophy is ethical socialism, not stoicism.
Dominic Cooper
The Gen-X'ers I know talk with lisps and say things like "we are pregnant" (referring to their wives). I haven't been in the states for a while but yes I assume a lot of brainwashed millenials talk with upwards inflections and slight lisps too.
James Sullivan
Gen Xers are in their late 30s and late 40s. I doubt that they are having babies.
Is that self defeatist bullshit from what's his name? Spengler?
You don't knwo what ethics are if you don't know Stoics.
Why would the kikes fear an intelligent person who isn't brainwashed? LOL
Because your genes show your weakness in every fucking motion and word.
Everyone can see you are inbred
That's why you invented the "inbred hick" meme
Blake Martin
Why risk keeping those people around when only 50 out of 3 billion are uncucked? It has a horrible return rate and needs to be stamped out.
Nathaniel Rivera
To move from one unselfish action to another with God in mind. Only therem delight and stillness. Definitely I would like to read the Marcus Aurelius book. Do you have M.A PDF?
That is good because the kikes should be afraid.
Levi Brown
Fascism is very esoteric at its core, as esotericism is investigation of the root cause of nature.
Are you 40+ or was that how old your mom was when you were conceived? Either way, neither of those circumstances are common enough to justify calling them "our" fathers.
Blake Phillips
Are you somehow implying a kike is in any way superior? They can only envy and never have the qualities of character user has.
Alexander Miller
I have books on tape on my phone. It plays inbetween music and I have to stop and listen because it's so good shit and in clips that make sense.
The version I have is best version in my opinion because the so called "scholars" of acedemia are fucking commies
meditations marcus aurelius penguin press\
Download it on limetorrents.in/ or whatever torrent. It's been awhile.
Come on now, user. Are you the Jewish trap attention whore Smiley, owner of /fringe/? Esoterics is purely anti-nature and anti-FASH. It's all about druggy hypnotism and denial of nature for a "spirit realm". Nothing wrong with that if it wasn't a Jewish rip-off of Zoroastriansim and NeoPlatonics.
Yeah old school esoterics were about the truth but that's like 300 years ago. Now it's just faggot shit.
Adam Cruz
Boomers are 60+
Evan Garcia
Knowing that you will die one day is not self-defeatism. Realizing that you are old and the day will come eventually is mere realism. Every culture has its own ethics. You aren't part of the long gone Greek world, therefore you can't be a real stoic.
Justin Martinez
Those circles are nor correct, more like ellipses. You are not always on the same closeness to your close family, relatives, race etc. You sometimes share that closeness and sometimes you are upset, you distance yourself from them.
Same patter with everything in your life, sometimes is good, sometimes bad, sometimes sunny days, sometimes rainy days.
Something like that place where we come from, the orbit of the sun.
Levi Price
you are ==quite== wacky
Angel Fisher
Can you recommend any reading online about Stoicism? I have read the Wikipedia page before and it made these philosophers seem like deterministic commies which disappointed me. I have read small other descriptions that interest me but didn't know where to start.
Thanks in advance.

meditations is not an easy read, especially if you don't read philosophy, but everyone should read it.
The Greek title literally means 'to himself' as Aurelius never intended for the work to be shared, let alone published. It was more of a philosophical diary. He repeats himself a lot and sometimes his train of thought makes strange departures from whatever he's talking about. As you read it though you will begin to understand the work and the point of the work as a whole.
Probably one of my top 5 Aurelius quotes

Stoicism is some good shit. I had no idea colleges were teaching it with a commie spin though. It always came across as very conservative-like ideology to me.

No, because stoicism is a philosophy of apathy and indifference. Stoicism doesn't really relate to politics at all since it was only created to prevent individual emotional pain and distress.
Zachary James

Nolan Williams
Stoicism was invented by a semite
What is the appeal of Stoicism for us meant to be anyway? It is a quietistic philosophy that emphasises reconciling yourself to teh world rather than changing your world. It's just a meme philosophy and I don't know why people keep repeating it.
Adrian Edwards

Alexander White
I actually just read meditations for the first time. I can see why it could be strongly considered good and bad.
Jonathan Reed
you forgot duty and right action . . .
Jonathan Baker
Caring about the right things. What is in our power and what isnt. If a man holds a switch with which he can turn you from happy to sad at his whim how horrified would you be? Now think of how easily our emotional state is 'switched' by even simple words. THIS is horrifying. Stoicism is in part about overcoming this.
Andrew Taylor
unable to control events i control myself
William Fisher
I think it was less turn the other cheek, and more "don't let other's actions bother you." If someone screws you over, don't grant them a second victory by being upset and losing your inner peace over it.
As far as the death stuff, you can't change any of it, so you should not fear for your death and the death of your loved ones, you should enjoy the time you have. When the time is up, you or they must move on.
Zachary Turner
And to be able to enjoy when your life is good, by not worrying about all the bad that might happen. But yes, stoicism was born in the decline of the Greek empire, when Rome had overrun them.
Nathaniel Wilson
Every stoic I met has been an unlikable faggot.
Eli Jenkins
It all comes down to logos and how you view it. Christians take it as the will/nature of god but stoics view it more like natural law just like fascists. If logos is the structure of nature what hard lessons does it teach? its easy to view the basic ideas of stoicism through the filter of christianity but the duty and acceptance of logos is alot more hard and realistic than that.
David Thompson
thats because you hang around with unlikable faggots . . .
Kevin Peterson
Other than three stoics I've met, the fourth was my roommate in college for a full year. spoilered for blogpost: He had stoicist literature up the wazoo. All he would do is watch lets-play minecraft videos all day and go on reddit. Every time you said something to him or tried to initiate conversation he'd promptly terminate it by going "hmm." the "hmms" would only have two inflections that'd mean either ok or "oh." A full school year of living with this fatass and the most conversation was no longer than twenty seconds. No, fuck stoicism.
Carson Brooks
he was an unlikable faggot.
Isaiah Gutierrez
Anyone who says they are a stoic isn't.
Robert Cox
You misunderstand Stocism. It's about doing your duty and doing it well. Apathy and indifference looks at death as, "whatever we all die, it doesn't matter." That is the road to hell, to nihilism, and a dangerous place to go.
Stocism looks at death as a duty, something you have to do, and do well, as part of your obligations in life. The Stoics made choices to live a certain way, they didn't simply accept what came to them with indifference.
Kayden Diaz
Regardless, Meditations by Marcus Aurelius should be 100% required reading.
Wyatt Murphy
When I mention stoicism to people I say "I aspire to that", feels less pretentious.
Jackson James
This is what plebeians actually think.
It would be antithetical for philosophers who said "live according to nature" and "our virtue leads to happiness" to be apathetic. But this belief seems to be the criticism you get from Christian, Evola, and Commies writers who can't deal with ideas of self control of rational thinking. The apathy you may of felt while reading is the same kind of apathy you need when battling cancer… you can't let it kill you but you can't let it drive you either… or you become full time cancer boy and that's all.
I always thought of Stoics as a middle ground between Capt. Kirk and Spock.
Stoicism was 300BC so it couldn't have killed Greece. As far as Aurelius, all the pleb historians are such shit that they look at history like a movie about characters, excluding the facts of the time… Meaning that Rome had gone through a plague that killed the majority of their population. They were DONE. That's what Aurelius inherited and spent his life fighting an implosion. They demonized his son because that's what they do to every Cesar that is usurped/killed.
Aurelius was very ill his entire life yet was still able to live in the bogs of Germany and fight barbarians for most of his career.
Zeno was not a Semite and neither was Heraclitus, the father of the entire outlook.
Zachary Smith

There is no indifference. There is rationalizing application of mental dedication. Stop dumbing shit down. If you need certain passions, make sure they have virtue and do them with some cognative awareness. Why is this so hard for you to understand college boy? Anger is for betas. Any martial artist or marksmen will tell you why.
You keep thinking it turns you into a robot, user. It doesn't. It's not (((control))) it's awareness and reasonable response. You need some writing lessons. Half of what you said I can barely translate. But apathia isn't hipster apathy. Your modernism is a cancer.
Now he's virtue signally. This is why you have no virtue and are depressed, user.
Totally inacurate. He saved Rome essentially. You're one of those ANTIFA cunts who hangs out here and talks shit like "hitler failed!" aren't you?
Colton Diaz
You're right in that sometimes faggots turn to stoicism or similar philosophies to convince themselves that "they don't care" about being losers, when really they do and that's why the pursue ideas like stoicism or nihilism to shield themselves from taking responsibility for their actions. A stoic as Aurelius describes it wouldn't behave that way.
Hudson Allen
A good little faggot who gets shat on while continuing to work hard.
Chase Gray
Stoic were the original Libertarians: No Bullshit No fluffy bunny SJW Concern Troll No Virtue Signalling No Cuckface Thot Leader TED Talkers.
The WYSIWYG simplicity of Stoic aethetics needs to make a come back in this ZOG World of fake food, fake McJobs, fake money, fake society, fake Virtue.
Hunter Baker
Are you a bot?
Cooper Gonzalez
Everyone should read at least part of Meditations just for the sections on self-control, but unless one is already a fascist in the most profound senses of the term (protip: this is not the case for the vast majority of "fascists" anywhere, not just the US) then going any deeper than Marcus Aurelius' protips actively disrupts the revolutionary will that fascism currently requires.
Nicholas Diaz
Agreed. Meditations is an excellent book worth reading, even if you're not particularly interested in Stoicism.
Jace Perez
Absolutely. Husbands that provide for their families. Soldiers that defend their countries. Mothers that care for their children. Children that care for their elderly parents.
Austin Rivera
everyone should read Marcus Tullius Cicero De Divinatione and De Natura Deorum on why stoicism is false cannon, and the new Academy offers the same virtues espoused within stoicism but argues in favour of these from a less individualistic standpoint.

Anyone else find it weird that Buddhism gets its ass kissed among White Nationalists but Stoicism is always attacked for not being inflamed with passions?
John Nelson
show me an example where this has happened. Buddhism is a shitskin religion.

Laughable, never happened.
This is also wrong, though. The Buddha himself was Aryan as were many of his early disciples, for example in Baktria. In time it devolved to more popular forms, of course.

your phony "support" posts through multiple IDs doesn't alter the hard facts, Ken. irl NOBODY rushes to your aid.

Your pathetic accusations are molten steel running off the slick raincoat of my mind. I'm single-handedly turning Holla Forums into an esoteric board and there's nothing you can do to stop me. The Smiley army grows stronger each day with tens of young wizards starting out on Holla Forums before they see the true light of /fringe/. Go ahead, spam all of my esoteric threads on Holla Forums all you want, it only makes me stronger. Keep giving me your loosh.
Juan Stewart
the Smiley army? KEK! You mean that tiresome trick where you switch identities and endlessly defend, agree with or chat to yourself. You're wasting valuable space daily, both on this board and in real life.
your "army of one" is about as potent and noteworthy as a flea queef. of course, your mental illness and self absorption will compel you to continue being a considerable annoyance for us, but what can one expect from a parent-sponging Canadian Jew transvestite who fails at every single phase of life?
I'd tell you to go kill yourself but you already bungled that deal, too. stop embarrassing yourself and crawl back to /cringe/ where you belong, sad queer.
Charles Turner
Whenever you see a Kek or Esoteric Kekism thread, that's /fringe/ (my creation) bleeding into your precious Holla Forums board. Be sure to spam them to give us more power! I've already debunked that retarded conspiracy theory 9 posts ago.
Anyway, thanks for the extra loosh, based loosh dispenser.
