Many people now, especially in academia, praise a detached, unbiased perspective when approaching written work.
This perspective is formed by the writer’s thoughts and unique lived experiences that shape who they are.
And, when it comes down to it, these lived experiences are shaped by politics and societal issues.
Thus, human writing is always political.
