To add to that there is this aspect of our culture and society which is at its core, sick and morally bankrupt yet telling us it is healthy and righteous. There are psychopaths running the country and big corporations, there is an incessant flow of misinformation and outright lies from people in authority and people who have asked for our trust. When you repeatedly are subject to someone "pissing on your shoes and telling you it's raining" learned helplessness is created in the pissed upon. No matter what I do, I cannot effect a change.
THAT is some depressing shit right there. We live in a culture that strips us of power while telling us we will become empowered when we buy whatever crap is being sold.
