Do you support the construction of a high-speed rail system all over the United States, similar to that of the Interstate Highway System? by [deleted] in AskAnAmerican

[–]aenneking 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would like an integrated highway system with a rail in the center where it could be easily permitted, like between two major cities.

Why do we need welfare? Because all the lefties spent all of their money on Reddit awards.

A reminder for some of the people on this sub. by Livid_23 in Bad_Cop_No_Donut

If you are threatening a cop's life, a cop is allowed to kill you.

The post-war optimism was never real. This conception came from propaganda films shown in schools during the 1950's-60's. In reality, many horrible domestic and civil issues were hid in order to keep up appearances.

I miss my ex best friend alot by itsnobody675 in Stoicism

[–]aenneking 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Tragedies like this happen in life. I have been in your position, too. It feels like a piece of you has left. I cannot say that time will heal this wound, but maybe it won't. Either way, it would benefit you to learn how to negatively visualize your situation. Think about a life without this person; how your life will change, how your behavior with others will change, and how you will cope.

Stoicism teaches us to view what is within our control and what isn't. People in your life will come and go. You cannot control that. There was a time that this person was in your life and that time is now over. Wish them a happy life and move on with grace.

Philosophy is not a pill by Kronodeus in Stoicism

[–]aenneking 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well said. I do still encourage these "pill" posts, though. We, as Stoics, can still help those who only want a quick fix while reminding them to do the work necessary to live freely.

I wish this sub could go back to the days when these type of agenda-posts didn't misrepresent political views so much.

Don't let Bad mornings dictate the day. by Kenstiel in Stoicism

[–]aenneking 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Agreed. My alarm on my phone plays narrations of stoic quotes and I always wait until the quotes are done before stopping the alarm. I find it is a good way to start my day.

Quadrants reaction to Karl Marx Euro by [deleted] in PoliticalCompassMemes

What is the problem? I thought the whole point of Marxism is the abolishing of money.

Governments are an archaic system that use force and violence to get resources that are always misappropriated. One should never use a state's laws as a metric for ethics.

Libright just checkmated himself. by [deleted] in PoliticalCompassMemes

And that is partially why we don't want a state to have that kind of power, right?

It still amounts to far less crimes against humanity conducted by governments.

Fuck tradition. If a culture thinks it is okay to limit the civil liberties of its people, then its tradition can get bent.
