I understand and share all your frustrations. One thing to consider is that the Internet is pretty big, and with a little digging (such as on sites like Reddit) you might find a way to connect with more like-minded people. It should be possible to slowly climb into a position where you can change things, if you start by running for office or joining the campaign team of someone you respect. I hesitate to recommend this in a world where money and media clearly have a substantial amount of power but, as a candidate, you might get opportunities to bring your message to more people. There are lots of people in the world who don't have their heads stuck in the sand or playing Candy Crush as you say. Unfortunately, they may not be where you live. I think life is ultimately too short to put up with stuff that you can't stand; if you have to, move to another state/province, or another country, where you'll interact with different people on a regular basis. (And, if you did decide to run for office, you'd have better odds.)
