Even smallest things you do can help because they also affect how other people think about it. But yes, you shouldnt worry about things beyond ones control too much.

Same with Ukraine, Afghanistan leadership, Yemen’s starvation problem, Iran’s theocracy, Saudi Arabia’s treatment of journalists, China’s Muslim camps, Japan’s horrible work culture,etc. At some point, it’s harmful to oneself to give a shit.

Life isn’t about avoiding harm at all costs, and tuning out things that make you slightly uncomfortable.

Ok so what’s something productive that you’ve done to help the situation?

You can vote, you can voice your opinions, you can send messages to politicians in your jurisdiction, you can join protests. These will lead to change if sufficient numbers also perform these things.
If you ignore it, then yeah, nothing will happen. But even just being aware of it, and brining it to others’ attention, which may influence stuff like their vote, etc… helps.

Did it help to protest the Ukraine war? Did Putin care? Will Netanyahu care?
