If you don't believe in humanity anymore, heh, you're going to get nihilistic. I think that people deserve what they earn.
> ...an inability to be away from the computer (work)...
If you are somehow feeling oppressed by having a job that you can conduct through your computer, then it's time to consider just how lucky you are, and meditate on that each morning.
I don't mean this as a dig, it is my genuine advice, I've seen it work well for myself and others.
> inability to go to a different indoor location (coronavirus)
Go somewhere which prioritizes human rights over futile attempts to control infectious disease, there are plenty of states with an intact freedom of association, where you can be indoors with other people if you are so inclined (though you may choose to keep it a bit limited).
I came to the flyover west of the country this month, and it's been great. I still have all of my mask-wearing and physical distancing habits, but they're mine now (and apparently more popular here than back in Ontario).
> I guess we do not have the power, we are not responsible for the way the world is, and we do not have to bear the guilt for it.
You are richer than the vast majority of people in the world, you have more power than you can admit to yourself; you are responsible for the way the world is, and guilty of all of its sins.

Now do the first incremental thing.
Don't make excuses, make progress.
