yes, you dont need to know about the history of the weather and why it happens to understand that it will be raining tomorrow. But, i think it’s kinda relevant to know how and why to understand what side of a conflict to support.
geography also helps you understand the claims politicians make and to see if they’re bs

The actual physical location, which side of an imaginary line a person was born on, should absolutely mean fuck all when deciding who to side with.
