Spanish siesta
They're basically turning napping from something relaxing to something that is a mandated part of a productive working day.

I Have No Mouth, and I Must lmao
You jest, but some Americans will try to shit on Europe for having mandatory vacation days.
They think the reason why American economy and companies dominate the world compared to European ones is because the companies can at-will fire any lazy low performers instantly lmao
History only teaches dates, and they usually stop at the Vietnam war.
No one tells students in the USA what other cultures are like, and when they do, they frame it like we’re better because of they way we do things.
Why do the fucking imperials always win
Did no one else have nap time in elementary school? This is literally the exact same thing.
Yes but it was on the floor and you weren't supposed to be comfortable.
using world-historic industrial capacity to build and distribute more convenient and comfortable nap-time chairs for children is fascism actually
No it sucked this is different because it looks cool
No form of relaxation was allowed in any grade school that I attended. You had to be tense as fuck and on task at all times except for the 30 minute lunch break you got, 10 minutes of which you spent walking through crowded hallways trying to get to the cafeteria.
You will take a nap
You will be rested
Students in America are encouraged to recess and play during school
I hate this.
They're basically turning play from something fun to something that is a mandated part of a productive working day.
Taking the joy out of all the good things in life, one by one.
they force the kids to play so they'll be too exhausted to learn. they probably won't even learn to start SEntences with capital letters.
China is encouraging it's citizens to breathe
I hate this. China is deeply satanic making it's citizens breathe air. Real freedom lovers hold their breath for hours on end.
encouraged
mandated
🤔
There was a recent campaign by the government to reduce the amount of homework for children to allow more sleep time. This is a sinister asiatic plan to mass produce soldiers who won’t crash helicopters because they’re low on adderall

It's nice to see Xi reaching across the aisle to find unity with the anarchists
China watchers are now literally getting grumpy about nap time
Literally worse, they are getting grumpy about being given optional free time and rest
How do I even relax enough to fall asleep on purpose
Warm herbal tea and a cookie, followed by some breathing exercises in a cool dark room.
Also melatonin gummies/pills and don't look at your phone for an hour before bed + a blue light filter app.
Step 1: Live in a country where the ruling class isn't trying to squeeze every possible penny out of you at any cost
i worked a seasonal outdoor job, intensive labor in a hot/humid climate and we did siesta hours. it was incredible. sleeping / lounging through the hot part of the day in a hot climate is brilliant. to operate otherwise is folly.
Siestas fucking rule. You wouldn't work during a blizzard. Why the fuck is working when it's 118 degrees acceptable? I mean especially when you are closer to the poles. Sun goes down at 10pm and rises at 4:30 am. We have time for a siesta. Ain't hurting nobody.
Scrolled down on his Twitter profile. Not one month ago, he posted "DAE example hair styles on the wall are authoritarian (because North Korea)"

Going to the barber and showing him my album of random North Korean citizens to show him how hinged I am
Hindu Nationalist detected. Opinion discarded.
I don't know anyone my age who takes naps because we're always so busy/stressed/terrified
And that’s good because gyna isn’t forcing your employer to let you rest
If you squint real hard you'll see that that girl in the front row that is smiling is actually writhing in agony of being forced to take a break. This is what authoritarianism looks like.
These people ape without any of the underlying analysis and come to these unreal conclusions. Memes-based philosophy understanding
Honestly Foucault's conclusions were frequently hardly less absurd, idealistic or reactionary.
naptime is authoritarian
something something anticommunist ideological framework could transform something something hostile evidence
There's a Parenti quote about this attitude.
This parenti quote?—
Edit: 😞 this went about as well as my other magic tricks go.
"I hate napping" liberal probably buys into techbro hustlegrinding about how this drug and that drug will make sleeping obsolete and therefore no worker should sleep.
I hate how I leave my job and have to sleep before my next shift. Saps all the joy out of it knowing that I have to sleep so I don't nod off while using an angle grinder. It's extremely authoritarian. 1984 shit.
Fr, though: so you want sleep or the chance to spend some wakeful hours as leisure time?
Rested, but at what cost?!
Yeah, I used to nap all the time at school, and it wasn't allowed. That's freedom baby
That smiling girl in the front was obviously forced to fake her happiness under threat to her Social Credit score.
Obviously Xi himself is just out of frame pointing a gun at her
There's some older work, specifically Wishbone, D (1995) building off of Irving, W (1819) that looks at the disastrous societal consequences the unintended side effects that these sleep promotion policies can produce.
Ah yes, the Van Winkle Hypothesis.
Next thing you know a bunch of tiny dutch men are going to be playing nine pins and leading the councils of state.
