This is what Stoicism actually is.
Anyone saying they are a Stoic and using it as a means to building wealth and as a life hack to achieve personal success have a primitive misunderstanding of the philosophy at a fundamental level.

The military service, which falls under the Department of Homeland Security, has drafted a new policy that classifies such items “potentially divisive.”

A Trump supporter started murdering his way through an assassination list of Democratic law makers FIVE MONTHS AGO. He murdered my colleague Melissa Hortman, and her husband Mark — and attempted to assassinate my dear friend John Hoffman and his wife Yvette. I was also on the hit list. WTF

This is Trump trying to rile up the whackos in his base to do violence.
He's not really trying assert as a legal matter that the government should execute members of Congress who advocate the military obey military law and the Constitution. He's trying to get Bubba Cousinfucker to do violent shit.

This is not how it works. You are obligated to refuse illegal orders under the duty to refuse.
Fox News's Martha MacCallum makes a case for following illegal orders: "If you are in the US military, you sign up, you carry out the mission that is assigned to you. The other option is to not join the military or to leave if you feel you can't carry out an order. But the command is integral."

At least 4,900 Minnesotans are at risk of being pushed to the streets because of Trump’s cuts to housing - children, seniors, veterans.
In Minnesota, we’ll do everything we can to stand up for our neighbors in need, but this decision will be devastating.
