"We live in a time where it’s almost impossible to know what is true anymore. Trust in government must be near an all-time low, and people have become wise to propaganda and power elite narratives.

...our existing ways of “solving global crises’” truly don’t work, and that world leaders are not leaders at all, but purveyors of destructive stories."

Indeed - and picking a side is exactly what we are all being provoked to do with Ukraine, now Gaza, etc. to initiate conflict and funnel us toward a totalitarian regime - let's not fall for it.

“The ideal subject of totalitarian rule is not the convinced Nazi or the convinced Communist, but people for whom the distinction between fact and fiction (i.e., the reality of experience) and the distinction between true and false (i.e., the standards of thought) no longer exist.”

― Hannah Arendt, The Origins of Totalitarianism

We now know that the ultimate trigger for these events is generational trauma. Blame or explanations cannot possibly heal such trauma; as you say a different (loving - compassionate) consciousness is needed. It's hard to see that as evolving currently but hopefully it is germinating in our youth.
