What do you say to people who think that making things better is naive and delusional?

You know, the types who think leftism is unrealistic and pure utopian idealist fantasy
I don't understand these types. The type that seem to sneer at the idea of making the world a good place. If it were up to them we wouldn't build shelter from the rain or invent cures for diseases. When the world is shitty, you make it less shitty, that's the whole point of life or you might as well be miserable and live like a cow who has made peace with the slaughterhouse instead of trying to escape it.
I'm tired of people who pathologise good things and have a weird boner for hardship
"The world sucks. Grow up and leave rebelling against reality behind!"
I'm tired boss
Oh, I realized you ask "what to say". Not "why do you think..."
Idk. I wish I knew. But I think knowing why they think that could help with figuring out how to get them out of that hole. Maybe they need to be presented a real path to change, or a path that feels realistic to them.
I wish I had an answer for you. It's all of our jobs to figure it out.
It's all good my syntax can be all over the place sometimes.
But yeah it's a tough one.
