You’re assuming the land acknowledgements are supporting their nominal values, rather than the friendly pink sweater of modern fascism.

You can look at how, eg, “woke” values (ie, that “left wing” ideology) is directly driving the erasure of Japanese culture by self-appointed white people who Know Better (TM). When their major export is colonialist erasure of other cultures, I don’t take the performative-but-useless land acknowledgments as anything but metaphoric white hoods.

They happily burned many Asian small businesses while chanting “Black Lives Matter!” those same years.

Erasure of Japanese culture? Wow, that must've been the topic of non-stop public discussion in Japan if that was even remotely true. Point us to an NHK article discussing this non-existent event.
