Is there a power balance between the two? No. But are they both working, hand in hand, to server themselves at the expense of their respective people? Absolutely. People who would call this "both siding" are missing who the actual "teams" are - ruling class vs working class. Everywhere across the globe they divide us, does that mean the struggles of the marginalised aren't real or need addressing? Of course not, but it does mean that to end the marginalisation and oppression we must fight those orchestrating and benefiting from it, not each other.
