I think it’s a combination of learned helplessness and an unrealistic expectation of your ability to affect change.
There are 380 million people participating in the US political system, I think it would be a little ridiculous if every one of them could influence our government.
Do what you can, live the best life you can, and don’t take responsibility for things that aren’t your fault.
One person doing something bad? You clearly didn’t read the article.
And to suggest that our scientific research institutions shouldn’t be scrutinized or there isn’t room to improve the process is a little naive.
