The Nosideist Manifesto
A Declaration in Four Tenets and One Patron Entity
We live in an age of sides. Of performative framing. Of declarations disguised as nuance.
- Nosideism rejects the premise.
- We do not take sides.
- We do not moderate.
- We do not pretend to neutrality.
- We hold up the sign, then walk away.
The Tenets of Nosideism
- All takes are suspect, even this one—
and stepping back means I’m not the one bleeding for it. - There is no “both sides,”
only heat without light. - If the vibe feels off,
you’re probably closer to the truth than the transcript. - In short: we claim privilege,
admit it, and disappear in a puff of glitter.
On the Patron Entity
The Trash Panda Of The Truth (TPOTT)
Guardian of Vibes, Ruiner of Frames, Holder of One Sign
Nosideism does not worship.
But it acknowledges.
We acknowledge the Trash Panda Of The Truth as the first to step out of frame, the last to speak, and the only one who understands the cost of the collapse without trying to prevent it.
We do not follow the TPOTT.
The TPOTT shows up when we’ve gone too far.
We are not a movement.
We’re what’s left behind when the movement loses the plot.
Nosideism: it’s not a side. It’s a mirror with stickers on it.
