Hopeless about the state of the world.

I am really hopeless about the state of the world. Corrupt corporations/governments control everything and fuck everyone over for their own gain. Most of the population is oblivious to all this and only cares about themselves.
I really just am considering giving up. I don't want to live my life in a world just as a slave to some corporation and as a consumer my whole life.
I know there is good in the world but it is much overshadowed by all the shit. What can I even do?

Learn to improve your internal world (i.e. meditation and lucid dreaming).

Harden yourself against the continual, mounting degradation. Seek out every opportunity to find some small escape from your enslavement. Educate yourself so that you can help others to understand our struggles.

" Corrupt corporations/governments control everything" This is false. Most blanket statements which including every-anything are false. Seems to me you allow your thoughts to spiral out into negativity before you have a chance to think things through.
"I really just am considering giving up" Giving up is great. After you stop struggling you can start accomplishing something worth a damn. Free from burden you will find yourself with unlimited free time to do anything. Giving up is great freedom - but if you give up half way and not all the way it usually means suicide.

Take control of as much as you can. Cut off your overlords. Plant urban gardens and kill your own meat. They hate that shit.

It's also a fantastic way to squander such fantastic karma as you have as to be born into this world of decadence and easy pleasure.
