Yeah using your "entire brain" is definitely the key. If you can still have a little thread going in the back of your head, then you need to up the intensity.

Exercising while listening to a video game podcast is a fav of mine.

Obviously these aren't solutions or cures, but it's a cope that can give you a break.

Put the kettle on. I can work with this. First, let's define what we each mean by "working class" ...

I usually associate that more with anxiety, which I don't have, because I can sometimes short circuit the bad thought spirals by switching to the latest hyperfocus. Like playing through doom levels in my mind's eye.

I want to believe poster, but it's a nun and a giant Armenian man slyly fistbumping

I would rather bother them very loudly.

People can just get away with things unless you make them pay for it.

EDIT case in point, 200 years from now we could be celebrating the jewel of democracy Israel, while "acknowledging its troubled past" but you're still doing this over the bones of the people your predecessors slaughtered. I'm not even saying it wouldn't be genuine, like people today in the US and Canada bemoan the actions of previous colonizers. But the fact of what happened remains immutable. The slaughter happened, and the people who committed it accomplished their aims. They got away with it.

Even most of the conservative politicians in the US seemed to take this approach, until he started winning (read also: liberal politicians failed to counter his right-wing populism).
