1: A political identity where an individual chooses not to support a particular political party. It is important to be careful not to confuse this with being apolitical.
2: A situation where an individual chooses not to take a stance on a political issue, or they decide to establish their own unique political view on that issue that is not being held by any major political party, for any reason. Some people believe this can be a source of privilege, but that depends on what they did, what the issue was, and why they did it.
Practicing political neutrality can allow an individual to have a wider array of options when attempting to address a variety of different issues; as well as ensure that needs and desires of the people are being handled adequately. (To help you understand the GIF I chose for this, imagine the ball is a certain political issue the government would like to address, the two dogs fighting over the ball are the mainstream political parties clashing over which of their solutions will best address the issue, the dog who backed away represents an individual who has chosen not take a stance on that issue, and the dog who stuck their head in between the two dogs heads represents an individual who has made their own unique view on that issue because they don't agree with the views held by either of the political parties fighting over the ball.)

Bro-neutral: Remaining neutral when your friends argue among themselves, even when they request your opinion.
Kiersten watched as her friends argued over a billiard rule, but she declared herself to be "bro-neutral", like Switzerland.
Neutral Extraphysicalism is an extraphysicalist philosophy, derived from extraphysical monism, where there’s no dichotomy between physics and extraphysics and both are the same thing, and believing the fundamental nature of reality to be neither extraphysical nor physical; in other words it is "neutral". Neutral Extraphysicalism believes that both extraphysical and physical are made by a neutral substance that is part of the whole physics, extraphysics and existence. Neutral Extraphysicalism is often considered the most common position of extraphysical monism, being classical extraphysical monism supporter that extraphysics and physics are equal and made of the same substance while neutral extraphysicalism supports that the neutral substance that composes physics and extraphysics is what makes physics and extraphysics being equal to each other.
“Neutral Extraphysicalism is really useful for extraphysical monism and to show how extraphysical monism can actually be right and make extraphysicalism and extraphysics to survive to all it’s attempts to disapprove it and even show it’s wrong, futhermore, extraphysicalism and extraphysics are still open questions that we can explore it in the future.”
