how do you casually research a topic? like if you want to get deep you get some primary and secondary source books and read them, but just to get a general overview of the terrain before you get deep like that. just a google search a couple of links? wikipedia? google scholar to check a couple of top papers?

Why have /his/tards become the lowest IQ faggots on this board as of late? Is it the influx of zoomers?

Wikipedia or Encyclopedia Britannica for a quick overview. Wiki is susceptible to propaganda from biased editors, Britannica is susceptible to repeating 'common knowledge' which is incorrect. But both are ok to start with. After that, just search for general books online ir in shops and check out who the author is. If it's some journalist, chuck it in the trash, you want a PhD in a relevant subject.

Check your local library and ask the librarian to assist you with where to start. What topic are you researching, perhaps i could make a recommendation.

History books by journalists can be good. William Shirer's "Rise and Fall of the Third Reich" is one of my favorites for instance.
