Yeh see you need to be like me.

Make your own side, be a zealot for your own cause. Punish all non believers.

Current events as they are now are rather like supergluing a target to your forehead and asking to be shot. You cannot side with one without being treated as an "enemy" of another, and the kind of hostility that grows out of it is hardly warranted. So, yeah, neutrality. If you're neutral, all sides look like idiots for trying to drag you into it.

Aye, even when you're not going to bat for the Twitter Wars, keeping on top of all the crises is emotionally exhausting—individuals weren't meant to bear the load. Pair it with the political equivalent of football fights and I don't fault anyone for wanting to disengage. We're in an age where the tribalism is downright farcical: I have an unhealthy obsession with Canadian politics, and the opposition leader is, in his usual recycled script, claiming it is the Prime Minister's personal fault that Canadian–Indian relations have collapsed over the last month... because apparently Justin Trudeau was responsible for the Indian government assassinating a Canadian citizen.

I think it was a Nassim Nicholas Taleb aphorism: "When confronted with two equally abominable choices, pick neither."

P.S.: This week's Bob the Angry Flower feels pretty apropos. :^)
