The games seem to subvert the author then, because Geralt is constantly mentioning he wants to stay completely neutral, but still ends up on one side or another anyway. I'm pretty sure there's even a plot point in Witcher 2 where trying to remain neutral implicitly makes you support the human colonizers against a village of elves.

Sapkowski is a troll who lies in interviews, and has never given a straight answer about where his politics lie. In the Hussite Trillogy, the main character literally says in the 2nd book that he's joining the hussites to establish "Communism" by name which is pretty impressive considering it's 1426.
so the witcher guy is like a freelance idf troop
More the opposite, in the books he always sides with the oppressed groups
i am a member of the monster freedom front
