We’ve past the point where we have the space to look for solutions in the future. We need solutions NOW. Every single day that people spend not thinking about how fucked we are is another in which we become even more fucked. Anger is a tool, use it. Get everyone you know angry. When angry people come together, they’re far more powerful than any group of people pushing for civility politics. Anger is not a bad emotion. No emotions are bad. Seeking to feel happiness all the time is seeking to stick your head in the sand.

Your comment reminds me of MLKs white moderate bit, in that it seems you prefer the absence of tension to the positive peace of Justice.

I totally get the frustration with people like me, but I'm afraid we'll have to agree to disagree. Over the years I've learned my capacity for anger, and I choose to try to be happy instead.

Keep fighting the good fight, though. I have no doubt the world will come around to your point of view given time.
