I meant it’s hard to produce value while you sleep so….

Anything that is moral, efficient, work related, etc is white supremacy.

Accurate. I don’t know and have never known any woman who voluntarily wakes up before ABSOLUTELY frickING NECESSARY. Even they are usually late.

Because the time of the day you get things done doesn't change whether or not it is productive? We aren't all farmers anymore. The need to get your work done while the sun is up is a silly concept. just because someone is up before most and getting things done does not make them more productive than someone that stays up after everyone and gets things done. The time of the day is irrelevant.


Incorrect. You’re out of sync with most people and a day late. Plus these tards aren’t staying up late working. They’re doing other non-work related bullshite.

1. Are the people working before other people are working not then also out of sync, why is it just people that work late? By your logic, yes they are as well, so it is irrelevant.
2. Why are you assuming the person staying up late is getting the things done after the person getting up early? That is a flawed assumption.

This isn’t true for any job that requires real time coordination with other people, which is a lot of jobs.


Really isn’t that important with the ability of communication these days. If I’m working with someone in California, a 8-5 here is meaningless. This also doesn’t really make an argument that the idea itself isn’t outdated.

ETA: and I’m not saying it doesn’t have any purpose. It absolutely does. I’m arguing more the idea that the employee that has an 8-5 cut comes in at 6 and leaves at 3 is any more productive than someone that comes in at 10-7

No doubt written by some self loathing white man. It’s sad and disgusting.

I don’t know if it’s been covered, but he’s now written an article saying that now he’s the target of an Alt Right harassment campaign due to Elon Musk and not his own nonsense.

As an author on Medium, I have recently become the target of harassment by the alt-right on Twitter, a situation that has been exacerbated by the implementation of a free speech policy under Elon Musk’s ownership of the platform.

The advent of Elon Musk’s ownership of Twitter and the subsequent implementation of a free speech policy has unintentionally fueled the growth of alt-right voices on the platform.


The harassment is brutal

the early-rising narrative and how it is rooted in white supremacy, contributing to the perpetuation of racial inequalities.

Europeans were farmers and ranchers. Compare that to all the hunter gatherer peoples around the globe. The European society and culture is superior. Ergo white supremacy.

Even blinking, breathing, and walking will be blamed on white supremacy soon enough.

That’s a lot of fancy words excusing laziness and indolence.

The early-rising ideology is not inherently racist; however, its connections to white supremacy can be seen when examining the broader historical and social contexts. During the era of European colonialism and the Atlantic slave trade, the concept of hard work and productivity became intertwined with race. Enslaved Africans were forced to work tirelessly from sunrise to sunset, and their white oppressors often used the rhetoric of hard work and discipline to justify their inhumane treatment. This created a false narrative that Africans were inherently lazy and needed the “civilizing” influence of their white masters to teach them the value of work.



Did other slaves in the history of the world (on every continent) before the Atlantic slave trade not have to get up early and work hard?

I mean, the notion of waking up early being a sign of being more productive is outdated and stupid, but white supremacy? Come on world, stop it.

How? There's a leap here that I'm missing. Is he saying all black people sleep late?
