Try to find a reason to act that isn't outrage, that isn't healthy

I don't know any other way about forced birth, racism, book burnings, christofascism, and genocide.

But you're right, I've felt too worn down to do as much as I would have liked.

How about trying to end those things, by using techniques that work? (hint: outrage is not in that category)

Getting outraged about their invasion of Poland was a pretty effective way to deal with the Nazis, and plenty of other social good has been achieved by outraged people. It's not necessarily effective on its own, but it's a useful component of the toolbox.
