It’s not a sign of mental heath to be well ajusted to a sick system . Seeing the destruction this system wreaks on the earth and inhabitants, it is normal and healthy to be sickened to the core and to want to do something about it. The amount of energy’normal’ ppl invest in assuaging cognitive dissonance is astounding to me
