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 primary thing that annoys me about this person’s point is the term “bedtime abolition.” She doesn’t want bedtime abolition at all; no one does (everyone wants to go to bed at some point, after all). What she wants is wakeup-time abolition. And I agree with that. Calling it bedtime abolition has the dual effect of incorrectly expressing the issue, and making the person saying it sound like a whiny child.
she’s saying that that phrase is a an example of how real anarchist arguments are misrepresented as childish whining
Except she uses the term “bedtime abolition discourse” without a hint of irony, as best I can tell; not even a set of scare quotes on it.
i mean if you lack the context and haven’t been reading posts on the internet continuously for the last 5 years and also don’t read past the first sentence, sure i can see how it could come off that way.
