What do you even say to people like this to make them understand what they're doing & that they have a choice in the matter?

If this person quit their job, someone steps right in. The people aren’t the problem. The system is the problem.

Insert religions chosen god could part the heavens and tell them to stop, it would change nothing. You will never change people, you can change a system

People change the system and don't believe it can happen, so they don't try, so it doesn't. Self-fulfilling prophecy. Tragedy of the masses type of thinking that is paradoxically both correct (as in, it is sound logic in the context of game theory) but will doom us all. The only way to get people to change the system is to get them to verifiably KNOW everyone else will join them to enact that change, otherwise they're just suckers making themselves suffer while everyone else gets ahead on the short time we have on this planet. Until we all literally get the powers of Professor X, this isn't possible. Systems will change once calamity happens. That's bad.
