And what does this strange word “international” mean???
It means international. As in it’s an official holiday in a bunch of countries, and unofficially observed to one degree or another in a whole heap more.
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.

Thanks for the honest attempt to actually answer the given question.
I’m feeling slightly bad now, as it has been a rethorical one trying do point out the case of US-defaultism in the meme in an ironic way.
Thought it to be obvious myself, so decided against the /s tag here…

How many countries change to DST today?
Looks like you have been the only commenter so far to get the point of my own comment.
Seems like it was less obvious than I thought…
Do we internationally celebrate all women? Or are we supposed to celebrate women from other countries?
Just one. International Woman.
But what is a Nation?
The means by which those with power enforce their will upon those without.
