I advise studying history to gain some perspective. Check out Dan Carlin's Hardcore History Podcast, He does long form episodes on different topics like Genghis Khan, WWI, WWII-Japanese Theater, etc.

Looking back through time we can see the same kind of convoluted political machinations that are happening today. Think of the egos, the lies, deceit, and manipulations that occurred during Julius Caesar's toppling of the Republic. Think of the drafted soldiers, writing home from their foxholes in WWI.

Perspective is what keeps my emotions in check when faced by the Titanic burden of how fucked the world is, because It can get A LOT worse.
