Social media and the news are probably the worst way to be “informed” of the world and society.
One could even argue you’re worse off using those because it gives you the illusion of being informed, without much substance.
You’d be far better off picking up a quality history book (not the popular history books which are a step up from the news), but recognized historical books that are globally recognized as authoritative texts.
If you read one book like that a year you would have already exceeded the knowledge from a lifetime of social media and mainstream news.
