"Don't make everything political."

You've heard it. But what does that phrase actually do? And who benefits when we accept it?

This first chapter of Unneutral starts with integration courses in Germany—where migrants learn "German values" like gender equality (while Germany has an 18% pay gap) and punctuality (while trains run 63% on time). Then we trace a line through Namibia, where 1% of the population still owns 70% of the land, 30 years after independence. And we look at right now: Germany increasing arms to Israel tenfold since October 2023, while the death toll of Palestinians reaches 680,000 during the ongoing genocide, while classrooms still teach "never again."

Politics doesn't start in parliament. It starts wherever power touches life.
