The entirety of human civilization and progression up to the last decade or so happened without being constantly outraged by the news and social media. At some point I have to choose my own health over whatever people think they are achieving by getting pissed off.

That’s not true at all. TV, and newspapers before that have inspired outrage when they expose wrongdoing for a very long time now. No, it’s not constant like social media, but it’s still been a powerful force. There’s a reason the printing press is regarded as such an important invention!
