Is the distortion of public opinion by means of the now fairly mature fields of economics, politicology and psyops how things got so bad?

What can a person do to not feel powerless in the face of this?

Did people actually believe that this was ever about drugs and terrorism? Do people still?

Can someone help enlighten me? Are there books I should be reading? Could I even learn to understand why, or can I just strive to bear the weight of this pervasive madness?

I find it very hard to accept the existence and scale of these issues, to accept how insignificantly small I am compared to them. To accept I barely understand enough of them to know that they should be solved, and that solving them will be a long and painful process that I'll have little say in.

It's a very lonely and alienating experience to hold these views and opinions. I wish I knew how to express them better, so I could be understood and understand myself better.

In somewhat news: depression is ungood and our anchor is hitting the couch.
