> Well, I wonder what he thinks non-performative social justice looks like.

It looks like the boring job of actually writing policy. Here in Australia, I've run into several people who work for the government helping to draft policy and things. Eg, one friend works for my state's government helping draft energy policy to fight climate change.

Its tedious and boring, and entirely thankless. But its incredibly important. Its well and good for protesters to send a clear message to the government that the people want change. Its another thing entirely to actually negotiate how those changes will happen on the ground.

How do you improve mental health services? How do you balance the needs of the economy today with the needs of future generations? Its difficult stuff.
