People are in the depths of despair and think world affairs and political institutions make decisions to torment them personally.

I try to explain that the cure for that feeling is "living a few more decades" because it'll eventually dawn on you that shit just kinda keeps happening and you are not that important. But nobody wants to hear that, heh.

I don't think that's necessarily a convincing cure if you don't expect to live those few more decades or if the government is determined to make you check out early.

Heh, there is that aspect but you can't talk people out of THAT either. Just gotta try to stiffen spines where you can.
