You are not neutral in this case. You chose a diner. To the mouse analogy, which is an interesting way of putting it. I would say the elephant should lift his leg. It will not harm anyone, but I would also say the mouse isn’t owed recompense. Both of them should watch where they are going.

To be neutral and do nothing, is indeed siding with the oppressor.

I am neutral in my choice of homelessness. I am choosing based on my cravings independent of the other effects. If the ownership situation was replaced, I would not change my choice. My decision-making is neutral on who is effected. When compartmentalizing to the criterion of selection, I am neutral.

That isn't how it works. Just because you are ignorant of the consequences of your choices doesn't excuse you from the consequences. Otherwise it would be a perfect legal defense.
