>We need to live for happiness
>ayyoo but fuck hedonism
Silly stoics, when will you learn that the pursuit of happiness is still hedonistic?

The philosophy isn't changing. Most of those 'jumping on the bandwagon' aren't actually practicing stoicism anyways.

>>9425021
it's a pursuit, happiness doesn't constantly occur on the way.

>stoics
>living for happiness

Pick one.

Marcus "L'Cuck" Aurelius and Seneca talk about that as being the goal of life non-stop in their works.

>being so insecure you have to insult a man who has been dead for thousands of years

>tfw he was also a better man than you

Happiness is a byproduct of living a virtuous life that is in accordance with nature. It is not in and of itself an end. You are confusing Stoicism with Epicureanism.

Your bitching about semantics is the exact kind of thing Seneca was opposed to

Seneca wouldn't give a shit about whether or not you use the word hedonist to describe him. All Seneca would care about is whether or not you agree with the importance of living virtuously and living in harmony in nature

>living virtuously

Stoicism is just self-help for people who feel insecure about their masculinity

>>9425016
if people were actually bandwagonning stoicism, nobody would know.
If people preach about following that line of philosophy, they are in action not doing so.
