Worry about your own life and immediate environment. The whole problem with this world is people getting emotionally worked up about things far outside their sphere, people in other nations etc. We are tribal animals and should consider our local communities our tribes, strong communities are the foundation of a strong nation that actually works for the people. Strong local communities have less chance of being subverted by globohomo bullshit too.

makes sense, i already hate globohomo but I have difficulty feeling a sense of belonging to my community but i do have close ties with my family. I think my problem is not that i am worrying about what goes on around the world, it's that i get worry about abstract things i can't really do anything about myself.

>I have difficulty feeling a sense of belonging to my community
This is by design, unless you live in a small rural village with a good community it's very difficult to feel connected to it these days. I think one of the easiest ways to get the ball rolling on a better community in urban areas is to focus on aesthetics, push towards giving the local environment a facelift, people living in ugly places become ugly people. There's nothing wrong with thinking about abstract shit and every possible scenario, but do it with a rational detachment. It's too easy for emotions to be controlled by outside sources.

I see, how would one go about giving the community a facelift? Making art or something?

That could work, even the poorest most ghetto people around don't enjoy living in the shitholes they do, it wouldn't take much to get people to pitch in to tidying the place up and giving things a lick of paint. Even having litter free streets and fresh paint on the walls can have a huge impact on morale.
