That’s a bad faith argument. No body wants that. Just because it exists doesn’t mean I’m defending it. The alternative is letting a paste-brained Putin-wannabe become King.
Somebody must want it, otherwise it wouldn’t exist. And that’s fine. People want what they want, I don’t think it’s mine, or anyone else’s place to tell someone what they can or cannot like or want. But, I hope you understand why it’s hard for some to find the motivation to fight for a society that they don’t particularly like.
Sadly, people do “want” this. They have been conditioned to want it their entire life, from a young age, through the media they consumed telling them it is what they want and then internalizing those notions without ever realizing it. Now as adults they hold onto those beliefs and are incapable of being introspective about the roots of their own desires to see that they are being manipulated.
The human mind is no different from the mind of an animal, and can be manipulated in the many of same ways. We live in a society that is a direct product of these manipulations.
Also that life is one we choose by wanting a solid predictable life. Anyone can online in the woods in Alaska off grid. Its just a fuck ton of work and you could starve or freeze.

The capitalists wanted it, and with influence on media and culture instilled it into us as the ideal. We are fighting to change it.

People don’t have to want things for them to exist. That’s a stupid qualifier and a logically bankrupt argument.
