I agree. While there will always be other places which my be "better" to talk about a specific subject, those specialized areas tend to lose a lot of perspective. They get trapped in one of the social media echo chambers that naturally form in such communities, the dialog is highly reactionary and colored by emotion, they are easily swayed by politician's daily talking points, and they focus on individuals.
To me, /v/geopolitics is a place where you can take a step back, look at things from a higher and more rational level, and also extend our timeline out to consider the long term maco affects of whatever is going on and how that shapes our world order.
