Don't learn shit to change the world, but to become wealthy. You won't change it, so make yourself comfortable.

Being engaged in politics and activism left me depressed and cynical, so I'd rather trade the last 15-20 years for a carefree life. I know, fuck me, but I neither changed anything nor did anything good for me personally come out of this.

Carefree doesn't mean wealthy. And getting wealthy in 15-20 years necessarily involves fucking up the life of people in the process so... very much yes, fuck you, as you say.
