> trend of learned helplessness
I call your 'learned helplessness' and raise you 'rational acceptance'.
> No consideration is given to the many positives in modern life
One can see the many positives in life while also pointing out the hopeless state of affairs we've created.
> Everyone wants to wail in dismay at the perceived impending doom and do nothing, or they want to actively destroy modern society.
Everyone deals with grief differently. There's no shame in being a nothing-doer, a wailer, or a destructive rebuilder. There is room for all options. I think that if you look, you will find plenty of people who are attempting to build and do, if that's what you prefer to see. You might even be able to contribute, if that is your wish.
Here is a writeup[1] about one project you might be interested in, and that site will have other projects reviewed as well, I'm sure.
