People would like to do their best to make their impact on the world as positive as possible, but they also care about showing they have the critical ability to notice everything wrong about the system they exist in, and we don't give them permission to do both. Wouldn't it be nice if we did?
I think there are many people who don't care about that at all. Plenty of people are happy to exist in a system and not criticize it. But it's getting hard even for those people because the system is making it so hard to extract the things they do want (e.g., enough money to live a satisfying life).
