It's easier to imagine a convenient bad thing happening than a good thing happening, I guess?

    I think it's simply that modern life is too far removed from what our instincts evolved to handle... A shitty life or death situation is something we're more equipped to handle (at least in our imagination) than societal problems so big that are effectively impossible for us to influence.

    I guess a possible part of the solution could be breaking these problems down into manageable chunks?

    "Think globally, act locally", as they say... and "locally" doesn't have to be a physical locale. It can be a fedi instance or a niche group of some kind.
