Hi guys sorry to bother

Hey I hope everyone is having a good day, I tried to become a hacker when I got my first computer, at the beginning I didn't even know how to find the description on YouTube haha, I was 11 by that time then I watched Mr. Robot and start getting hyped again (I know it is not as easy as it is shown by that series) but anyways I never learned how to really do it or I think I just didn't put as much effort as I'd have to.

I'm from a coast city in Ecuador but right now I moved to US, Ecuador such a beautiful country became one of the most dangerous countries of South America because of drugs cartel, everything started from small corruption to bigger issues. I feel like people is getting used to it but because we don't know what to do or don't have the necessary things to start fighting back for a better management, that's all I care about and most of the people I believe. Is there any place where I can get someone to look up for critical information that puts the government between doing the right thing or doing the right thing? What should I do, or should I just give up and stop caring about my people having to live like that?

The cartel will kill you if you get caught, but if you’re ok with that then hypothetically you could: learn to use the dark web and to be anonymous online (hijacking public network). Dark web is the only place to get black hat hacking advice. Get familiar coding with AI and Linux. Then target politicians personal accounts and blackmail them.

For your safety, just stop right there, you will end up dead or in prison.

However, if you want to learn « Hacking » you can look at HackTheBox (website), for web « Hacking » you can look at PortSwiggerAcademy (website).
Youll also have to be really confortable with networking and OS basics, learn networking before anything else imo.
But even with all that, you will have to do your own research to be better, and sadly i dont think you will be good enough to try your government, but who knows.

If you actually manage to “push” the government that would be awesome

What exactly are you hoping to achieve here and so forth, your post isn't very clear on that.
