Re: <nettime> Criminalization of critical academic research and political engagement |
What kind of "trust rating" could you imagine? Although I'm not sure what you mean about the methods being excessive, I think I understand your question. I am just forwarding this post to other lists, because Anna is someone I know, someone I care about, and because it feels very close and threatening, when I think about all the times the children she mentions have interrupted our late night conversations about the difficulties of trying to live one's convictions and care for a young family at the same time; how to balance activist work and the responsibilities of everyday life. Before I started forwarding Anna's message, I thought about which lists I could forward it to, where I know people, where I think I might be able to convey something of why this is important to me - in the hope that people who know me might be able to take up the request for support on the basis of our acquaintance. Because I think you are right that probably many calls for support may go unnoticed or unanswered, if there is no personal connection somehow. Is some kind of personal connection what you are looking for?
