As i can see, the best way to waste less time on consume, its to find some references, people as lawyers (involved on social topics) senators, jurist and watch the sessions on congresses, and some speeches, i mean to go straight to the source.

With youtube is way easy, more counting on those channels who cut tv shows and just upload an especific interview that you want to watch. A tip that i find preety usefull is suscribe to the youtube´s congress channel and keep up to date of the meetings, im not usually watch the entire session but its a good way to internalize with some politicians and choose those who argue with relevant data, or quote some guy and insta google his name and follow his youtube and twitter, for example ill use twitter to just follow lawyers and congressment. Twitter for me isn´t a social network, its like a newspaper. The problem having a lots of irrelevant people on twitter gets your timeline full of unrelevant stuff and the information just get cover by puppy´s videos from aunt Julie.

The key is choosing the person, i meant found people who is interested on build a better world, (or at least your own country) no matter the color of his party.

Glad to meet you! Hope you enjoy the read!
