With TZ unset I get:

unset TZ
708|/charts}/c/mint/tzinit
tzinit: do_utc=0,do_local=0
tzload: name=(null),TZDIR=/usr/share/zoneinfo
tzload: access name=/usr/share/zoneinfo/localtime
tzload: open name=/usr/share/zoneinfo/localtime
tzload: nread=2789
localsub: timesub,tt_gmtoff=7200,tt_abbrind=0,chars='CEST'
Current date and time: Sun Aug  5 21:37:53 2018
Time zone in use: CEST
East of Greenwich Mean Time: 2:00:00
Kernel clock mode: localtime

which seems to prove my point ...
