Wasn't Socrates the progenitor of irony already?

Stoicism was converted into "christian values". Be wise, humble, do your best, ignore things out of your control, god wills it that way. Come on, thats basic stuff.

stoic values indeed.

Yes, your fleeting fashion choices and preferred speech patterns for a few years represent a fundamental shift in the Western zeitgeist.

Those are hardly fine instructions on how to live.
Meanwhile the stoic works of Marcus Aurelius have been considered how a good western christian ought to think and live, while the stoic ideal of dispassion is considered the perfect moral state in eastern christianity.

Similarities
>Serving God / the Logos
>What is the highest thing in your life? Who or what are you serving?
>Inner service, not external spectacle
>Askesis
>Serving the City of God before the City of Man

Differences
>Afterlife
>Satan

So the only major ideological difference between stoicism and christianity is that those who dont comply are punished, while those who comply are rewarded.

We are talking about proper christianity, not monetized christianity.

Christianity is meant for beggars and martyrs, not for city states in the middle of Europe made of gold. Thats an abomination of the idea.

>>447325
and yet, it was the city states and richmen and common folk, that in most part drove christianity along for 2000 years or in other words, nearly whole of its existence

alternatively, if comparing idealisms, what is the idealised version of modern ironic hipsterism? :r)

>alternatively, if comparing idealisms, what is the idealised version of modern ironic hipsterism? :r)

/pol/
ironic racism, ironic nazism, ironic antisemitism, ironic conservatism, ironic traditionalism, ironic christianity all turned into a caricature of these values when the people convince themselves its not irony, but genuine

>>447369
neat

>>447369
