I got tired of this and started a nonprofit, it in turn attracted a following and now we spend our time doing good instead of reading doom news all the time, and it's turned my mental state around considerably.

All you need is a little bit of info about org formation and leadership, and a lot of righteous indignation about the current state of things.

And yes before anyone asks I do think almost anyone could do this or at very least join one.
