Being explicit about expectations may be useful, but a person who wishes to know an objective truth must be very careful to separate expectations from the actual evidence. Research a topic in more depths to articulate specific evidence takes time. Before going to that point it makes sense to clarify a subject and the positions.
how can you be sure that your expectations are not guided by your political sympathies? If my assessents of situations would be strongly colored by political sympathies, I likely wouldn't have said what I said about South Africa or take a variety of positions that I do take.
Apart from that the phrase "political enemy" implies that it's a political fight that I actually care about. You won't understand my politics from thinking in the frame of Republican vs. Democrat. It's not an accurate frame for multiparty Germany nor for my own thinking with is even less based in the agenda of political parties. |
