    it has been a rethorical one trying do point out the case of US-defaultism

    No, I understood that. My reply was meant to be read as a rebuke to that idea. Because it isn’t an American day. It’s less observed in America than it is in many other countries. Claiming it to be US-defaultism relied on a mistaken assumption that because some Americans are talking about it, it must be a uniquely American thing.

    Ironically, your complaint about “US-defaultism” was itself the US-defaultism.

      Actually the US-defaultism I meant was the assumption that this specific DST date would be a thing outside the US (it’s not), applying it to a day that even has the word “international” in its very name.

      And I am well aware that this is a valid shitpost.
      Deserved some relativizing context nonetheless.
