You can’t expect to fix systemic problems with individual action. But you can hope to. Hope is a powerful motivator even if it is not necessarily rational. We rarely run on logic, usually action is spurred by our emotions.
Accepting defeat is counterproductive. Progress is made by people being willing to fight for their ideas whether in a metaphorical or a real sense. People died to fight for a 40 hour work week. People died to fight against slavery. People died to fight for democracy and free speech.
Or more accurately, they were and continue to be killed (sacrificed) in an attempt to uphold the status quo.
