Woke is the opposite of stoicism.

​Stoicism: whatever doesn't kill you makes you stronger
Woke: whatever doesn't kill you gives you trauma

Stoicism: reason is the highest virtue
Woke: reason is white supremacy

Stoicism: your feelings are irrational and should be improved
Woke: your feelings are valid and should be wallowed in and always listened to

Stoicism: it could be worse, so life is awesome
Woke: it could be perfect, so life is dark and full of microaggressions

Stoicism: expose yourself to intense suffering to toughen yourself up and appreciate what you have
Woke: avoid all possible "triggers", because they'll make you more traumatized

Stoicism: the world sucks, so you must learn to find happiness anyways
Woke: the world sucks, so you will be permanently traumatized and should fear all "oppressor" groups

Stoicism: the public is full of idiots. Do what you think is right, even if it leads to ostracism.
Woke: if the public says you're wrong, you're wrong and you must grovel and swear to "improve", lest you be ostracized.
