I have seen the Jamison clips. Isolated these clips mostly is ok and pretty neutral. Thanks for participating. Won’t spend valuable time seeing the rest of the series, but I understand that the context is quite bad.
When it comes to the question of a potential response, it gets hard. The question of smart and appropriate activism is very complex.
But I think this is a typical example of”pick your fights”. One should not bluntly accept a whole different series than predicted, but going out loud probably won’t do much good either.
What strikes one over and over again are the vast challenges of ME, it is simply almost overwhelming facing windmills in all directions. But it is often the same “mess” going in eternal circle. So from an advocate perspective, ideally there ought to be some kind of priority list of what to fight and what to let go, at least do in a very smart way measured to the circumstances .
One step ahead knowledge-wise, is mess-wise two back and three to the side. It seems as the closer we get to answers, the more the mess. Not that strange, many have much to loose.
Ideally one must and should fight on all issues all the time or is it so? I sometimes think we are fighting and focusing a little to much on things we shouldn’t, things we’ve done, things that take focus from other important issues. That’s my personal opinion, solely based on the impression that there are so much to grab and fight! As said, it tends to be a lot of the same things in a circle and I’m not sure it is the right way. I imagine that we as a community could raise the level when the old mess comes around again. Maybe we could say, we’ve done that, we’ve discussed this, and maybe at times silence also can be a appropriate measure. That may seem radical and naive, but often the BPS-people gets us right we’re they want, again and again.
As pointed out, the work needed is still overwhelming and many thanks to all hard work done by many knowledgeable people. We know the costs.
