Outrage fatigue. When everything is an outrage, nothing is. When you have someone constantly pointing out every flaw of our system - while most people are just trying to live with some modicum of happiness and peace - you lose them. You end up looking like the tattle tale in class that the teacher rolls her eyes in response to. At some point you, personally, have to grips with the fact that the world is not perfect, that bad stuff happens. I urge you to consider how much progress humanity has made (you cited imperialism, so I assume you know some history). Are these issues important? People living in shitty detention facilities eating lousy food? For me, I can think of a lot of actual atrocities that are happening which demand my sympathy and attention.

Honestly, it's not healthy to get worked up over the injustices in this world, because it will never end. I'm not saying give up, just don't let it consume you completely.
