Take sides or Remain Neutral? Which one would you choose and why?

[thegreenyogi]

This can be anything regarding political views or arguments with others.

[NathanDavis]

it really depends on the circumstances, the situation and whatever is at stake

I'm someone that will usually consider things first, as much as possible and is actually involved... I am for solutions, and also solutions that work for most as well, if not all

but that's not always possible

I don't take sides just for the sake of siding with someone, and that sometimes creates friction, and sometimes I have to side with where the reason is and that can also rub some people the wrong way lmao... so, what gives

neutral is sometimes the best path... but at the end of the day, it will be what it has to be and that, varies from one scenario to the other

[DrPepper12]

Silence always helps the aggressor. When one person speaks up it gives courage to others to do the same.

Decisions in times of crisis reveal the true self. You MUST speak up sometimes despite the risks to EVERYTHING you hold dear.

Winston was a wise man

[thegreenyogi]

Great one.

[IslaTheWitch]

I don't take sides... I have my opinions and preferences, but I'm not going to take a side

[FreyaRed]

Depends strongly on my benefits and risks I go in with choosing an option.

[Lliam]

Not neutral but unbiased.
I develop opinions based on information, realizing that I may not have all the information. I can revise or change my opinions as more information becomes available. I try not to jump to conclusions.
I am not influenced by partisanship or consensus.

[Zack-Bann]

I would never parrot the same talking points as every other drone on a given side


So I prefer to make my own side


It overlaps with the others of course
And I do share many popular positions that can be found in existing camps


But I always make sure my opinions are a result of my own analysis and not just what someone told me was the right answer

[Nik1hil]

I would prefer to neutral. But if Being Neutral Puts me at risk from one side..

Than I will be against that one side, that does not leaves wiggle room for people to be Neutral..

Like in case of Religion, they don't have Room for Atheist and Agnostics.

[SmokinAces2000]

That depends on the topic. If we are talking about abortion I’m not finding any middle ground with people that think the government should have control over women’s bodies but when it comes to certain topics with trans people generally I’ll remain neutral.

[DryGermanGuy]

That depends. I stay out of silly personal bickering, but there are enough important topics where you can't stay neutral, e. g. declaring Russia a murdering, imperialist state.

[Syntosi]

Taking sides is generally better since remaining neutral means that you are giving away your agency to control your own life or the world around you.

[exitseven]

I was always a moderate and a registered Independent but the democrats are just so crazy that I had to take sides. I registered as Republican like my father was.

[AviatorTom]

As an Independent, I usually look for the middle ground, which involves compromise. I generally don't take sides, nor do I remain neutral.

[KostasKouvalis]

I usually take sides, unless it's something CRAZY controversial, then I prefer to keep my opinion to myself

[SofaKingsMart]

I prefer the inclusion of facts before I make that kind of determination.

[NewestOdium]

I think it's important to have conviction and take sides especially if you are well informed.

[Dargil]

I have my own opinions. They leaned to the right but not always.

[Agape93]

Oh I pick sides on issues

[fish5505_87]

Way too vague. Take sides!

[Anonymous]

I'm often neutral.

[Credentialmayhem]

Neutral is always the better option

[TraderJoe]

Take sides.
