    Spanish siesta

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

      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.

      using world-historic industrial capacity to build and distribute more convenient and comfortable nap-time chairs for children is fascism actually

    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

    blue-check I hate this. China is deeply satanic making it's citizens breathe air. Real freedom lovers hold their breath for hours on end.

    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

    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)"

      Honestly Foucault's conclusions were frequently hardly less absurd, idealistic or reactionary.
