@37712 @ButtWorldsMan he DID have the gladiator put to death, but his claim to the empire (as an adopted son) was through his wife, so if he killed her he wouldn't have a claim to be emperor anymore.
He had the gladiator killed and fucked his wife while covered in the gladiator blood. I am not kidding, look it up.
@Tfmonkey @37712 @ButtWorldsMan No one talks about that... I can't imagine why. /s
@ButtWorldsMan @DoubleD @37712 Marcus wasn't a cuck bitch. He simply didn't murder his wife for the sake of Rome. If he killed her, he would have lost his claim to the throne and it would have caused Civil War to break out throughout Rome as different people fought over who would rule.
@Tfmonkey @ButtWorldsMan @DoubleD
if his wife got off by just getting fucked by him then yes, Marcus is a cuck, he should have at bare minimum beat the shit out of her or do something like public flogging for her for cheating and make it public, pass laws against adultery, and lastly latch on to the throne with both hands as if he was strangling his cheating whore of a wife.
@37712 @Tfmonkey @ButtWorldsMan @DoubleD
Agree, women only understand public shaming and physical punishments...like bitches.
@ButtWorldsMan @DoubleD @Tfmonkey @37712 holyyyyy fucking baseddddd, I now have shit to do... Brb
@Tfmonkey @37712 I reject his excuse on the basis that he created this situation for himself. Never marry up as a man. You don't want powerful in-laws. You don't want a wife you can't get rid of. Marcus Aurelius, the supposed philosopher king, made the biggest blunder a man could make, and paid the price. He is a cuck. He chose being a cuck over leaving the throne.
@ButtWorldsMan @Tfmonkey The OP is taking a very narrow view of the philosophy by tightly coupling it to the one example of a Stoic, namely Marcus Aurelius. Stoicism as such has nothing to do with a cheating whore.
@DoubleD @Tfmonkey If you analyze the claims seriously, then it just boils down to a "it's a you problem" scenario where the guy keeps thinking of cuckoldry when thinking of stoicism, because our boy Marky was cucked.
It's also funny because stoicism is how you cope with this reality. You acknowledge bitches do be like that and move on with your life a little wiser.
@ButtWorldsMan @Tfmonkey I agree with your second point completely.
@ButtWorldsMan @Tfmonkey the guy has a point. He should have put that gladiator to death and sold his wife in to sex slavery, but even Marcus was a simp all along.
