No actually I need to add on more to this. Arcane very unfortunately suffers the same issue that a lot of "progressive" shows suffer in Western media, where they go like "here are some real, systemic issues that exist and look at the consequences of these issues", and then either (1) forget to continue with the theme, and/or (2) don't do anything about it beyond slap on a half-hearted Band-Aid solution that never addresses it.
Caitlyn gassing civilians; lack of accessibility for Viktor which created barriers for him due to his disability; enforcers as oppressors, going hand in hand with Noxian imperialism; Jayce weaponzing hextech, and him already having killed a child because of it; not a single moment is really spent on any of these in S2. If anything, the enforcers are really flattened at the end of this season with little nuance, the complexity that shone in characters like Marcus and Grayson disappearing. Many Piltovan characters do not get even a single second of introspection as to how their actions actively contribute to the oppression of Zaun.

my other grounding technique is remembering that the earliest abolitionists & the earliest suffragists had no proof that the world would ever make possible what they fought for and indeed many of them did not live to see it come to pass. and yet they did not succumb to despair so it would be disrespectful to their memory to let it overtake me

Since the aggression on the Gaza Strip began, my family, the Balousha family, has lost more than 120 martyrs, including children, women and elderly people, because they refused to surrender and flee the northern Gaza Strip. More than 70 families from the Balousha family have lost their sons, includingSome of them lost their entire family, as happened yesterday to members of an entire family who were victims of Israeli bombing of civilians. From here I ask for your support, your support helps my family to survive the famine and the link is here
Your support helps my family to be patient and save them from real famine. Support them from here.
