Scenario

When communities disagree about performative versus meaningful action

Our community group started doing land acknowledgments at meetings but some members think it's performative and others think it's necessary and we've never actually talked through what we think we're doing or whether it matters that we don't all agree on the purpose.

More people experience this than they realize.

Surface-level agreement on symbolic actions is hiding fundamental disagreement about what constitutes meaningful moral gesture versus empty performance.
