Thank you for this comment. I came here to say something similar.
Stoicism is a great thing, but it needs to be interpreted in a way that does not lead to a capitalism-compatible milquetoast philosophy that is then used by privileged people to justify their apathy and egoism.
(similar is true for the way how many westerners understand eastern spiritualism and are then happily more concerned about their yoga mattress and shit than of the living beings around them).
Taking these pitfalls in mind, stoicism and meditation-ish self-care can help a lot to avoid breakdown while fighting this horrible machine.
