Nothing about Stoicism says anything about taking political action against others. That's a strawman here. Just so we're clear, I'm currently one of those poor people living on the brink of potential Homelessness. I'm not saying anything I'm saying as some out of touch elite. I'm saying what I'm saying as someone who understands what I need to do to get out of my current circumstances isn't dwell on or wallow in my failures and blame others. There's nothing good that comes from that. There's nothing actionable that comes from that. I would be actively harmed by doing such things. When I often hear people making excuses for us poor, they seem to be the types that haven't touched poverty or are stricken by a form of toxic empathy; an unconscious desire to be seen as compassionate. It's well meaning, but it helps nobody. Assuming you're in the US, in nearly every context, you have the opportunities available to you to succeed (exceptions include contexts that are no fault of your own such as homelessness as a child). Many of us have those opportunities and we squander them. Stop telling people that if they're poor, then failure is inevitable or likely due to society. Yes, it's hard. Yes, there are factors about society that make it more difficult. That does not mean we're not ultimately responsible for our own decisions. You're teaching people helplessness by not acknowledging that. I know everything I need to do to succeed. I know that me failing to do those things is my fault and mine alone. I don't dwell on this, because otherwise I would descend into depression and self-destruction. Is that what you want of the poor? Do you want to encourage them to self-destruct? Because that is the ultimate implication of what your position against Stoicism seems to be. It's either that or a complete ignorance of what Stoicism implies.
