Yes there is such a thing as 'political neutrality'. Every time you contract a plumber, you engage in 'political neutrality', because neither your nor the plumber interrogate yourselves on your political affiliations. You want your plumbing fixed for a fair price, and the plumber wants to get paid for a job well done and get back home in time for dinner.
Just because you set up a false choice of "you're either with me or against me", doesn't mean the rest of us will play your little game.
- littlestymaar 6y agoIn your example, nobody hapened to talk about politics. There is no neutrality, just the absence of discussion. But if the plumber tells you that his boss is a capitalist pig, you can either report him to his boss, or not. Neither is neutral.
