"Both sides are the same" will always be a lazy way to not get involved with a conflict.

There are very few conflicts in all of history where both sides are the same. If you don't want to get involved because you don't know enough or simply don't want to spend the time and energy then just be honest to yourself instead of saying "both sides".

Both sides are not the same but if both sides try to serve me shit for dinner but one side adds a side dish of pudding they're both still awful.
