Thank you for sharing your mantra with me and being sympathetic to the situation.
These are topics which can plain not be raised in my workplace, personally it's much easier from knowing the language and there is just so much evidence and information thrown about that it is possible to have a position without being ostracized.
My situation is my own as you've noted and with the path I've now found myself on will take a bit of time to unravel. Hopefully in the meantime I can provide a bit of perspective to how those in these spaces react to the events of the day.
Unfortunately it's often quite bleak, bread and circus is very powerful. I see constant buying of dreams that are never what they seem, then on to the next one, then the next one.
"In my experience, when in situations that are wrong and harmful and which I can neither fix nor influence others to correct, I do not continue to involve myself with those who I sense are wrong or doing harm. I have left a career and have put resignations on the table. I may well do so again, it seems."
I have a clear exit I can see, but need to make sure I understand if I can speed it up and also weigh the consequences to me and my family. Trying to be patient and prepare myself so that when opportunities come, or as I seek them out, I feel ready and confident to take them.
