Hey dude, I'm in pretty much the same position: mid twenties, white male, working tech industry etc but with a twist - I live in South Africa where inequality is a dinner table topic.

So, how do I deal with shit? Mostly I don't, to be honest. But whats been keeping me sane is this:

1 )Work towards a goal that you know will enable you to give back. If it's donating to charity or volunteering work, its this crazy thing that happens when you start really thinking of giving back to people with less with no expectation of getting anything in return.

And:

2) Meditation. Being able to view your thoughts as thoughts and nothing more. Learning to become mindful of whats currently around you and how to appreciate it, especially yourself.

Hope this helps. More than keen to chat about it if you want.
