the most strategic way to take a side while pretending you don't have one

means The state of not taking sides in a conflict, dispute, or competition, remaining impartial and uninvolved.

from From Latin 'neuter,' meaning 'neither' — literally 'ne-' (not) plus 'uter' (either of two). The same root gave grammar its 'neuter' gender, the one that is neither masculine nor feminine. By the 15th century, via Medieval Latin 'neutralitas,' the word had drifted into the language of politics and war, describing the country that, when two others came to blows, declared itself emphatically 'neither.'
