I'm thinking it has to be a metta meditation since it's externalised into the world, but therein lies quite a sublime problem that I think one should understand before undertaking a metta practice.

The issue is, when you have an outlook to the world and you see there's bad things going down, the desire to make it other than it is also the aversion toward those undesirable things, and through that reactive dynamic, your intent has already been determined.

Hence the typical process is undertaking mindfulness meditation to stablise one's equanimity with regards to all phenomena so that one is not misguided into the delusion that apparent good intentions are not but a clever disguise for ill-will that is already emanating from the reactive dynamic.
