This is a funny comic, but I dislike how it perpetuates a common misunderstanding of stoicism that it’s about suppressing or ignoring your feelings, when it’s actually about engaging with your feelings as deeply, mindfully, and intentionally as possible. It’s about trying to understand why you feel the way you do, and also trying to understand how your feelings can lead you to acting in a manner which contradicts your values. A stoic master wouldn’t ignore their anger, especially if their anger is the result of witnessing their own teachings being misrepresented and used to further injustice. They would just be careful not to let their anger lead them to acting rashly and doing something which will ultimately undermine the virtues they want to cultivate in themselves and in the world.

Modern takes on old isms always tend to directly oppose the whole point of the original idea. Cherry pickers do that with everything over time. Stoicism has a lot to say about the weakness of being a cause of harm to others and to nature. But I’m sure they glossed over those parts, only attracted to the “Me, me, me.” and never thinking why.
