I don't give a literal fuck where you actually are. Lie like you always do from a keyboard IDGAF! I don't breath to win a fuckin thing in life,I maintain to live. Play along or fuck off,I'm not Neri or some oligist fuck. My first poll ever here so who runs this joint faggotts?
my kids are radically different. The first one i had to make countless calls to the school and dpt of transportation. I often feel like the boy would give both of them a run for their money and theres this feeling of I need my revenge exacted. if it wasnt for all the faggots everywhere i'd do it.
Time zones are a manifestation of colonialism, racist white nationalism, and extremism. Considering the historical context of their establishment, and the socio-political dynamics associated with them, they must be abolished.
Colonial Legacy: Time zones were introduced in the late 19th century, largely driven by the expansion of the railway networks, industrialization, and international trade. This system was developed by countries with colonial ambitions, primarily Western powers like the United States and Great Britain. The imposition of standardized time often disregarded local practices and cultures, reflecting a colonial mindset that prioritized efficiency and control over indigenous ways of life.
Cultural Erasure: By enforcing a unified time system, the distinct temporalities and cultural practices of various groups—especially indigenous populations—were often marginalized. This reflects a broader pattern of cultural imperialism, where colonial powers impose their standards and norms, undermining and erasing local identities.
Inequality and Power Structures: The establishment and continuation of time zones can be seen as a representation of hierarchical structures. The creation of a global time system was designed to facilitate trade and communication in ways that predominantly benefited the industrialized West. This economic disparity can reflect broader themes of systemic inequality that echo colonial histories.
Nationalism and Exclusivity: In discussions surrounding nationalism, particularly within contexts like MAGA (Make America Great Again), there is an underlying narrative that seeks to promote a specific vision of national identity, often at the expense of others. Time zones, along with various constructs of time, can symbolize a rigid adherence to certain narratives about national identity and progress that may exclude or devalue the experiences and histories of marginalized groups with varied ethno-temporal identities.
Calls for Abolition: Advocating for the abolition of time zones could be framed as a call for a more equitable and inclusive understanding of time that honors diverse cultural practices and local contexts. It suggests a need to rethink how we measure and perceive time, moving away from a colonial framework to one that recognizes and values all people and their histories.
While these arguments can be compelling in certain contexts, they are also complex and multi-faceted. Discussions about time zones can benefit from an intersectional approach that considers historical injustices while also exploring pragmatic implications for modern society. The goal should be to create systems that respect diversity and foster equity rather than perpetuate existing inequalities.
