>I thought having a goal of objectivity was implied when doing research, but maybe I am wrong...
i believe that human objectivity is impossible, as anything written or made by human beings
i, like all human beings am a political, i just want to cut out an overwhelming political narrative i have seen and get as close to objectivity as possible while understanding i can never actually reach it.

>Paragraph two: OH MY GOD WHAT THE HELL?!
i just want something that isn't political historical revisionism propaganda? is that so much to ask?
i want something that doesn't have a political agenda behind it, i just want history as it was, not historical revisionism.

>History is always written from the perspective of the time it is done.
couldn't agree more
> Here you begin by the postulate that « all history books now are revisionist
i don't recall ever saying that, what i mean is that the OVERWHELMING majority of the topic i research is historical revisionist propaganda written with the sole intention of propogating a political narrative.
> You want not to learn but to confort yourself in your own beliefs, it’s not how it is done.
i would like to challenge my beliefs, and if my beliefs are the modern day political narrative, wouldn't i want to find subject matter that is different then the current modern day political narrative if i truely want to challenge my beliefs?
