Honestly the world is awesome and there is no time I’d rather live than the present. The endless complaining and “sky is falling” stories made me unplug from the media, when I do read the news I skim over anything like that (which is usually most of it).
My wife has a coworker who has to go to therapy to deal with her generalized anxiety about the world’s issue, which went into overdrive after the Trump election. She is constantly on top of the latest NYT disaster article. Her hair has started to fall out and she’s only in her mid-30s. It’s really, really sad.

I want to shake them and tell them: maybe your world view is tainted by your local environment. It's convenient to attack political leaders for your problems, but maybe you need to spend all that time and energy focusing on finding an income instead of adding another useless voice to the chorus.
