--- title: Neutral date: 2025-10-08 tags: life tldr: Stand for something, you cowards! --- The problem with “both sides‑isms” and “neutrality” that platforms and corporations like to waffle about is that by not picking a side, **you ARE picking a side** and that side, for whatever reason, tends to be the Bad Side™…which tends to be less than six steps away from some form of fascism or white supremacy. Corporations are not your friend. Platforms are not your friend. Hell, **I** am probably not your friend (but I hope you’re doing well, remember to hydrate and stretch). It used to be that those in power would at least smile while plotting to steal from you (joy, money, data, &c). Now, the pretense is gone. There’s no decorum, no semblance of professionalism, just open hostility[1] and gaslighting. GyatDAYUM! WTF!! Bring back shame!!! 🕸️ --- [1]: https://plutopsyche.medium.com/blueskys-ceo-meltdown-how-leadership-continues-to-fail-its-most-marginalized-users-8bfa7a8824b4
