Assuming this post is genuine,
Coping is an interesting word choice. It hints at perceived wrong.
Internalizing an injustice can force one to confront morality.
It is complicated. I only want to present a different case.
There was a recent report on charges against a sex-trafficking ring where the victims were "rescued"... but later were re-victimized. Turns out the undercover officers in the investigation reportedly had paid and participated in sexual acts with the victims which eventually lead to a dismissal of charges due to entrampment laws.
1. Decisions matter in this sense.
2. Consequences are often not directly measurable
(Does sexual freedom come with hidden costs to us, such as porn addiction effects, prevalence of STDs, etc?) (Is supporting abortion or 'reproductive rights' of disadvantaged groups different from genocide?) (A recent example: does the positive of lives saved by the pandemic lockdown balance with the negatives of its economic impact?)
3. An easy answer is not in my HN comment.
