We are a tribal species who advocate for War at any given moment because it is our nature. By picking a side you are picking a tribe; throughout history we have done this through nationalism, religion, political ideology and "race". Sometimes however picking a side is necessary to ensure your own destruction does not come to fruition the only reasonable way to stop this is if everyone through a logical process listened to each other and to be considerate of each side.
Though as it stands today in the modern human era we are inventing social problems that need not exist and as humans we need to find common ground to work towards rather than "picking a side" like possibly a universal space program.
