None of us individually can do much, but we can all do some little thing, here and there, for someone in particular, and/or against the OH FUCK IT WE'RE FUCKED.
So, you know, blow your nose, have a cup of tea, and do the little thing.

They want you to be distracted, outraged, and hooked to whatever they do next.
Yes, it takes some time to figure out what's real. Limit what you give them.

A knight in red armour is on a grey horse that is rearing facing a white wave. In the right foreground is a hooded figure in grey. The Dark Is Rising by Susan Cooper is printed across the centre in red. Above there are white shapes like birds.
The book is on a cushion patterned with stars. Blurred in the background are multicoloured fairy lights and a red sofa.
