Yes, it is more personal, but you can read between the lines. Take advantage of that! I believe it is a myth that only outsiders can observe critically. I believe that it is a matter of approach and ability but it is not defined by the fact that one is outsider/insider. Moreover, if you are slovakian, does it really mean by nature that you are insider of Slovakia? I believe it is more complex than those binaries.
p.s. in Lithuanian there is the same expression ‘you keep silent like a partisan’
