seems like many wrongly assume stoicism means to unhealthly suppress and avoid emotions as a mean of "powering through", but i think thats a totally wrong view of the philosophy.

giving how important it is for western society its really sad

stoicism as an idea is good. i just hate the performative males and the content creators.

I'd say Diógenes of Sinope and the cynicism is a way better philosophy than stoicism in modern times.

i dont think of them as that much different from each other, i do think of stoicism as timeless tho.
in this modern era we shouldnt be cynic to the point of thinking to having to rely on psychotropic drugs or mental therapy alone for example, even though they remain useful. stoicism can give a wide and clear perspective of life if practiced correctly, a way for enlightment even
