There have been a couple of debunking videos about stoicism lately. I think there is a danger in the deterministic nature of some teachers to consolidate conservative thinking.
But you can also put a progressive spin on it. There are some stoic teachers who tell you how to look at the world from a mainly objective point of view, but act nonetheless. “Yes, I know the world is tuff, yes I am in pain/hurt/weak, but I will do what has to be done anyway.” It is a sort of call for action that doesn’t depend on motivation.
