Woke is the opposite of stoicism.Stoicism: whatever doesn’t kill you makes you strongerWoke: whatever doesn’t kill you gives you traumaStoicism: reason is the highest virtueWoke: reason is white supremacyStoicism: your feelings are irrational and should be improvedWoke: your feelings are valid and should be wallowed in and always listened toStoicism: it could be worse, so life is awesomeWoke: it could be perfect, so life is dark and full of microaggressionsStoicism: expose yourself to intense suffering to toughen yourself up and appreciate what you haveWoke: avoid all possible “triggers”, because they’ll make you more traumatizedStoicism: the world sucks, so you must learn to find happiness anywaysWoke: the world sucks, so you will be permanently traumatized and should fear all “oppressor” groupsStoicism: the public is full of idiots. Do what you think is right, even if it leads to ostracism.
Woke: if the public says you’re wrong, you’re wrong and you must grovel and swear to “improve”, lest you be ostracized.
