Video: Stoicism and how to manage and overcome disrespect. Does the Black community need more stoics?

[RamsayBolton]

Stoicism, invented by the Greeks, was literally taught to Greek and Roman slaves as a means of control

Wait WHAT? Say more I thought the father of stoicism was that one roman emperor they love so much

 

[Diyhai]

The whole idea is to remove the hood mindset. Why would I place my mind state in the hood when there is a whole world

If you that’s where you live that’s where you live
Plenty of situations where people will try you
And if you just react to the disrespect in aggressive way they will never mess with you again
Or you can turn the other cheek and quickly run out of cheeks when they keep testing you
Like I said you have to be situationally aware

Stoicism

Sounds like being indifferent and righteously unnaffected,except the p*ssy version of it.


Righteous black men arent against violence. We are just pro having enough emotional intelligence/discernment to choose your spots. The hands and feet can be valuable teaching tools.

If you were righteous, you wouldn't use a strap to get p*ssy. You rapist.

This is taught in Christianity. I have been practicing these values for the last few years.

True, because Neo-Platonism is the precursor to Christianity

A less extreme example I have is my boy I worked with. Tall, handsome gang, smart, quick learner. Dude could’ve been regional manager, but he just couldn’t take orders from cacs. “Hey George, can you run these reports for me and have them to me this afternoon”

“Man, that’s extra work you gotta pay me, I’m not doing extra work etc etc”

I was steady telling breh just do it they want to promote you. But he couldn’t get the “unfairness” out of his head.

Maybe that’s what Stoics refer to when they say do what you’re supposed to do, because it will yield greater results. Now I have toussaint in my avatar so you know I’m for killing slave masters, but there is some nuance to rocking the boat.

Is this considered disrespect in corporate environments?? Your breh sounds like a clown honestly.. lol.. Unfairness to go to work and do your job

 

[UpAndComing]

Yupp. Neo-Platonism is the precursor to all the 3 dominant religions (Christianity, Islam, Judaism)

Those who have “disrespected” me allowed me to see why I was above them in the first place. Feeding into someone verbal attacks could turn just as worse for you. Ive seen that play many times, Responding with a subtle mindfukk is the way to go easy diversion and stocism ideas could get you to the mind state to prepare to see situation from all sides in order to react in your best interest. Stocism just gives you all the tools to see the causes and prepare for the effects of your actions and your actions alone

Above them how
If someone with more money and social status shyts on you how are you above them
If you believe in some made up moral shyt okay
I’m not worried about the other person at all
Trying to play games with them is not stoicism at all

A stoic would see a person with more money or social status reaching lower to shyt on someone and view them as a person with a depth of cracks and flaws who is projecting. There is always someone higher in status, so the “higher status” person is only opening their mental to be attacked by someone else, the stoic has already won the war just by internal POV

This is something I struggle with a lot. Idk why man. If somebody tells me to do something I’ll tell them to fukk off and do it themselves. I don’t like being talked down to. I hate when people give me orders or insult or critic me. shyt gets my blood boiling. I see some men who get shyt thrown at them and they just take it and walk away but that’s not me. I tried the stoicism a while back and tbh it just made me feel like a bytch. Nothing manly about people insulting you to your face and you just standing there like a rock

 

[Thatrogueassdiaz]

sure, why not?

Of course a common criticism of stoicism is that it can be manipulated to push the idea to "staying in your place" and not rocking the boat too much. That's why tech bros/entrepreneurs like stoicism so much. Someone talking salty can be brushed off most of the time, but sometimes conflict is unavoidable. Sometimes force is the only way to solve a problem.

That's not what stoicism is about at all and I've never heard that criticism before.
