Not entirely devoid of self-interest here, but when somebody on social media says “here’s my take on what’s going on,” they’re not the reason the bad things are happening, even if they’re wrong. We’re not the ones making the really big bad things happen. None of us.
Everyone is angry about the world and scared about the future and defensive on account of being pretty sure (correctly or not) that someone else is blaming them for something terrible and I don’t know if any of that will help but it’s probably useful to acknowledge what’s happening and breathe a bit

And since it apparently needs saying, when I say we’re not the reason the really big bad things are happening, I’M NOT DENYING THAT WE HAVE AGENCY.

SOMETIMES WHEN ONE HAS AGENCY THEY NEED TO KEEP A LID ON THAT SHIT IN A PUBLIC FORUM.
