coordinated action

Description

Coordinated action is the ritual of swallowing one’s own will and harmonizing perfectly with others, teetering between the comfort of unity and the surveillance of conformity. Individual voices are buried beneath the grand chorus of so-called harmonious alignment, leaving genuine intent to the timing of applause. To outsiders, it appears as a triumphant display of solidarity, while behind the scenes the subtle pressure to conform quietly binds its participants. The more exalted the proclaimed virtue of coordination, the more dramatic the scapegoating when the façade inevitably collapses. In the name of collective harmony, personal diversity must be sacrificed, completing the exquisite masterpiece of coordinated action.

Definitions

• A noble ceremony of submerging individual will and entrusting oneself to the group’s rhythm.
• A concerto draped in the décor of diversity but actually playing a single note.
• The exquisite blend of comfort born from joined hands and the pressure that silences doubt.
