There’s a reason why people’s first instinct is to remain neutral during conflict.

As a nation we’ve been taught to only care about self…

If it’s not our country, not our people, not something that directly impacts us – it’s not our problem.

We are taught to not rock the boat, to not question authority, to see both sides.

Now don’t get it twisted – obviously you need to do research to know the full story and full history of a situation to come to a conclusion.

But after that assessment, if there’s a clear aggressor, it’s important to stand in solidarity with those that are being oppressed and fight for their liberation.

There comes a point where neutrality turns into betrayal.

Choosing to remain impartial in this situation is denying a race’s reality, it’s turning a blind eye to facts, it’s letting a genocide continue.

How can you be neutral during a genocide?

There is power in the shares, the likes, the advocacy.

If you’re hesitant to speak up, just know that that’s not by accident.

Neutrality from a nation is key… to start a war.
