Someone once pointed out an interesting perspective: when you're standing on the far left, everyone near the middle starts looking like they're on the far right.
This observation came up in discussions about how certain platforms evolved into what critics called "censorship machines." The accusation? That moderators weren't just targeting one side of the political spectrum—they were shutting down any voice that dared to challenge the prevailing narrative.
The goal, apparently, was to restore some equilibrium. But here's the thing: what counts as "balance" depends entirely on where you're standing.

Simply put, no one can agree on what neutrality means, everyone just stands on their own hill.

This perspective is absolutely spot on; depending on where you stand, everything looks different.

A position is just a relative concept; your neutrality is seen as extremism by others, and no one can clarify this.

To put it simply, it's a matter of stance, nothing new. True neutrality doesn't exist at all; it's just what one finds most pleasing.

This is an interesting statement; it actually means that your perspective determines how you view everything.

Simply put, it's all about the stance, nothing new.

The further you stand, the more extreme the world appears in your eyes, which is true.

Position determines perspective, and that’s not wrong. But to be honest, everyone is shouting about being censored now, and both sides claim to be the oppressed one, which is a bit ridiculous.
