Yeah it's not very materialist of me but one must do whatever it takes to not fall into a pit of oblivion.
Maybe I could be trashed for this too because it's too idealist or whatever, but part of the fight really is just loving and being loved. The enemy is anti-love, anti-human, anti-life, and anything to counteract that is an act of resistance. To spread love and peace and joy in your life to those around you. With the 'butterfly effect', who knows how that could ripple out? Even in the smallest ways it matters on some mysterious cosmic scale. Due to various circumstances of life, like disability for example, we can't always be the ones fighting on the front lines. All I can do is love wherever I can, so that's what I'm going to do. I really do believe even the tiniest spark of love matters in the face of the globally-spanning demon god of Capital, whose Trauma Machine attempts to smother us all in a blanket of sorrow.
I would like to let you know I'm very fond of this perspective. I myself am disabled and am similarly consumed by despair as OP, and this is a very nice framing.
Admittedly I've still had to turn to religion to maintain any semblance of mental stability, but, I was always deeply dissatisfied with materialism anyway.
