Acorn Community Governance and the Peacekeeper Role

Acorn is described as a more flexible, discussion-based offshoot of Twin Oaks, lacking the massive policy binders found at the older community. Decisions are made through weekly consensus meetings where proposals are refined to address everyone's concerns. The guests contrast this with the "Messiah complexes" and "chosen one-ism" they observed at Occupy camps, noting that Acorn utilizes a "peacekeeper" role to de-escalate emotional tensions during meetings.
