Depends on the team. My team do daily standup and it helps. A lot. "What are you working on today and do you need any help to get it done" is a super powerful question to make sure we're all focusing on the same priorities and sharing the knowledge we have, especially in a team of mixed disciplines.

Or, hear me out, restoring native ecosystem is in itself anti-colonial. This is the weirdest whataboutism I've seen in a bit.

Honestly thought this is where it was going

You literally sent that from a FOSS platform...

I dunno...the company I work for has a Tel Aviv office and there's an Israeli on my team. We are always talking about this shit, how disgusting it is, how he got a black eye at the last protest for daring to call Muslims people, etc etc.

There is a large amount of fascists in Israel - it is a European colonial state after all - but painting everyone with the same brush is not it, especially people that were born there and are trying to make it better for everyone. Like any large group, they are not homogenous and portraying any group as homogenously evil is dangerous to the extreme.

I'd suggest reading some of the "New Historians" to get a sense of the wide range of people that live in the colony known as Israel. Ilan Pappe is a good place to start imo.

(Edit: spelling)

And the moment Labour looks even a little bit more progressive, bam! Psyops media campaign!

We are trapped in class warfare and democratic means of escape have been removed.

Side note: had the sudden realisation that Corbyn is the first person I can remember that was directly discredited because they must be "hamas".

...Arthur Balfour died in 1930 and was painted in 1914 (7 years after the oldest living person was born). It's hanging in Trinity College, not the National Gallery. It's really not a culturally significant piece of art.

Brit and avid history fan here! Stiff upper lip is a myth. We used to be a very rebelious lot:

We're taught about Henry VIII, but not about the mass uprising he had to put down (The Pilgrimage of Grace)

We hear about the Battle of Hastings but not the Harrying of the North.

We're never taught about the Enclosure Acts (that stole land from the common folk) and the subsequent uprising and brutal repression (including the Midlands Revolt).

We also had the Peasants Revolt trying to stop the crazy taxation during the 100 year war!

And if we're looking for other acts of rebellion:

The Peterloo Massacre

The General Strike of 1926

The Miner's Strikes of the 80s

The Battle of Cable Street (Police protecting Nazis)

The Battle of Lewisham (Police protecting Nazis)

But it is far, far better for those in power to make us believe we have always been meek and "stiff upper lip"

EDIT: for people looking for a complete list, this ain't it. I just chose a few that were in my mind at the time. I also didn't include anything to do with imposed rule or I'd just gesture vaguely at the island of Ireland.

I also didn't include anything to do with aristocrats fighting each other. This is an incomplete list of popular uprisings to make a point.

And in Europe we're charged 50c a sachet 😞

With all my knowledge intact? Hell yes! I'd keep all that bitcoin instead of spending tens of thousands of it (about £100) on Silk Road in uni.

To follow up, let's talk about the names of the system!

Absolute Monarchy: a system where an individual has absolute control of the means of production (often, though not always, via birth).

Feudalism: a system where the a wider, though still small, group of people, control the means of production based on land ownership (often, though not always, through an aristocratic class) (fun fact: the Magna Carta changed England from an absolute monarchy to a feudal state, it did not create any kind of democracy, as the myth often goes).

Capitalism: a system where those with money (i.e. capital) control the means of production. We are here.

Socialism: used interchangeably by both Marx and Lenin with communism (Lenin specifically states the "socialist" in USSR was aspirational, not literal). However, has now come to denote the "transition" period from Capitalism to communism where the workers control the means of production via what Lenin called a "vanguard party" or worker-controlled legislature

Communism: where the means of production are no longer controlled at all with no class divide, legislature, or private property (note: personal and private property are two different things; no one wants your toothbrush) based on the principle "From each according to his ability, to each according to his needs".

Loving all the Scots embracing the United Kingdom in this thread by describing England as a part of their country 😉
