What, wait, no; yes, it’s falling apart. Why would you want to prevent that? I don’t want it fixed; I just wanna help others survive while it crumbles to dust around us.
If you don’t let this society die, how will we build the new one??
I want to have a piece of media with a “start fresh” villain who then has it pointed out to him that “starting fresh” means with far fewer resources and leeway available than if he had worked with society’s existing, faulty systems.

By working to make changes within the current structure, generally yielding faster results and far less cost in human lives.
There’s no magical “erase history and start completely fresh” button, even if society crumbles.
