Anarchists have moved beyond abolishing bedtime to abolishing all time.
No war but the class war. No time but party time.
Cut to: Operating Room
Anesthesiologist: “The patient is under. You can begin.”
Surgeon: “Good. Remind me, about how long until it wears off? If we hit a snag, I want to know whether I have time to keep going or if we need to sew them up and try again later.”
Anesthesiologist: “Time is a bourgeois construct, you fucking reactionary.”The virgin time slave vs the Chad hourglass user
All Clocks Are Bastards
Reject regimented time, return to unspecified duration.
it’ll take a while
i’ll get back to ya
NO COPS NO JAILS NO LINEAR FUCKING TIME
The Maoist uprising against the Time Lords was the most comprehensive proletarian revolution in history, leading to almost totally equal redistribution of time amongst the peasantry
But if we abolish time what am I supposed to be wasting on HB all day?!?
Your life
money
pay me
nuh uh, pay me
based and anti clock pilled
Nah but fr if you think about it, it’s like clickbait innit but it just kinda means if no one was under work quotas/everyone did things at their own pace then there’s less need for knowing what specific time it is. Deadlines wouldn’t really exist, you’d just kinda get used to doing things by routine or sunlight. Indigenous cultures kind of do this, have a lot less focus on the clock and are happier for it.
There’s this youtube vid called the Tyranny of the Clock that describes it really well
Yeah there actually is an interesting conversation to be had.
Like many people have said over the years “Dogs don’t keep the time.”
There is an interesting conversation about the invention of the clock and universal time, for sure. But the argument for getting rid of it boils down to let’s return to a preindustrial society, which is not so interesting to me. You can’t run a industrialized, global society on people doing whatever whenever based on vibes.
For sure, you can miss me with RETVRN shit. I don’t have the capacity to adequately articulate this point any more, but it is interesting to think about how “time” as such is socially determined and how much power over our lives we ascribe it. We take it for granted as a kind of “natural” force, and yet we can affect it through human action (daylight savings fast and loose example.)
IDK, not a particularly useful conversation politically I’d say at least for the moment, but interesting nonetheless.

Unironically this
What do we want!? THE END OF TIME! When do we want it!? UNDEFINED!
Me, a smart person:
Metric TimeI have a set of rules for my fantasy worlds like the writers for coyote and roadrunner. One of them is that I don’t like to numerically represent distance, size, or time. “She was 2.5m tall” should always instead be “I had to tilt my head all the way to meet her gaze.” I think it’s more impactful.
Because of that, every world that I write has a really lax system of keeping track of years/year equivalents passing. The idea is that “counting [years] is for distant lovers and diasporas.” For instance there is a kingdom that was founded when a mysterious person made a prophecy that a comet would cross the sky in 100 [years]. So they took it upon themselves, much to the chagrin of outside parties, to count to see if it comes true. When it did, they all freaked out and had decided to delve into developing prophecy and counting time. That resulted in a culture everybody else hated because 1) monarchy is gross and 2) keeping a numerical history is taboo. It’s like “why are you being so dramatic about the flow of time?”
But I like birthday parties.
Every day can be your birthday
How can anyone tell you different?
Someone once told me, time is a flat circle.
This but unironically
