I'm taking an online class and they spoke about "gravity problems" - problems that just don't have a solution that you or a group are capable of solving for. The way you deal with gravity problems is accept them and then reframe the problem. You just accept gravity as a constraint. I don't have a good example right now but I share this to say that I've come to a similar place to what you describe here and accepting the reality of a culture I can't control has brought some measure of peace. I guess the hope has shifted from being, "maybe there's something I could do to [be the change]™" to "nope, but I still believe in God's power to work where I cannot"
