Listen, this user is a terminally online anarchist who complains about tankies and calls Stalin genocidal. But shes correct about this one. Mostly. I mean using the term "bedtime abolition" sounds dumb but Im pretty sure she only did that because its a common joke about anarchists. The core point is about how 9-5 work schedules dont work for everyone. As an ND person who struggles with culturally normal sleep schedules, I absolutely agree that society needs to accomodate these things. I absolutely agree that its literally normal talk everyone says that work schedules suck.

People saying "just go to bed on time" or "just pop a melatonin" have never been in the position of trying to do that and failing, just laying awake for hours until you finally fall asleep two hours before you need to be up.

The problem is that they bring up a real issue in a dumb way, and in so doing, actually harm the cause instead of helping it.

I don't know that these tweets matter that much.

The internet is such a shitty place to organize because it draws people into these obtuse theoretical nitpickings. It all feels so bad faith. In person it's always much easier to forgive someone's botched phrasing when you know their heart and head are in the right place. /minirant

    Then why are we talking about it all though? OP made it clear this is someone who generally makes bad points, and they did a bad job making this (potentially good) point. So what's the point of using them or their tweets to start this discussion?
