Let me sum it up: People are doing bad shit. The people that aren't are actively enabling said people to do bad shit. There is nothing you can do about it.
So yeah, I've got better shit to do
you definitely can do things about it, but there's a whole sphere of influence/realistic expectations type shit everyone should consider, when trying to do something about it. worrying about things you can't control and that don't immediately effect you or the ones close to you you (i hate English) care about is just draining and robs you of agency over the things you can control.

Unrelated to your point: Placing the word "that" or "which" between the two "you"s can make that less clunky
Related: I was mostly talking about your point of spheres of influence. 0.001% of people have more wealth (re: power) than the bottom 50% of people. I almost certainly fall in that half, as do half of humanity. If we all got together, we could draw and quarte that 0.001%. But the systems put in place with all that wealth make it impossible
