I think at times like this it's best to reflect on Descartes' iconic quote of "cogito ergo sum," or "I think therefore I am" and utilize that as an anchoring point to appreciate the fact that in some undeniable sense that you at the very least most certainly exist and then work outwards from there. Hopefully you'll in turn arrive at a more positive world view and an understanding of your own autonomy.

lol this is some great advice, you can just use this on any problem.

Who or what can challenge, and stand a chance at beating, the corporate juggernauts dominating the world?

Meditation on the breath will help you loosen your grip on the mental attachments that cause these feelings. You can only control your actions and attention so focus on those.

Don't know how I'm supposed to exist peacefully in this world when I abhor everything in it, when I connect more with mass murderers and homeless crazies on the street than my family and friends. I feel like there's no "out", no way to reach any sort of substantial achievement, no way to reach the goals I set for myself, leaving me with an intense hatred and jealousy for those who have. I've been taught my whole life how to succeed and the "right" path to follow but I was never taught how to deal with failure or regret, constantly hating myself for mistakes I've made. I see people every day with these great attitudes, always a smile on their face, most likely well rested and satisfied; how? How do these people exist? Everyone I know is miserable in some way, slowly letting their lives escape them; how are these perfect people happy?

Young people are these hopeless little beings riddled with mental imbalance, taking any small issue and blowing it up into a crisis that needs to be eradicated from the fabricated world they were taught to believe in. Everything is a sham, nothing is real, words don't mean their definition, people don't mean their actions, the only thing I know to be real is entropy. Everything has a beginning and everything was meant to die or degrade, there is no hope, only satisfaction knowing that I'm not the only one with a meaningless existence.

everything in our life is transient, and all those problems you're describing will come to a head and eventually solve themselves. Like the baby boomer's unchecked narcissism solves itself with their rapidly approaching death, soon their children will die, then we will die, and the things you're upset about will be forgotten, quaint problems and replaced with new ones that give your children or their children the same sort of existential crisis at 7am, which isn't exactly a bad time to wake up, OP.
