They have fought wars, winning some, losing many, and have learned that opposing the system is not worth the cost.

More accurately, what they have learned is that wars have a cost, so they should not be fought lightly.

Once or twice (critisizing), you might be seen as someone who is upholding “quality”. But do it too often and you quickly move to being seen as a “negative person”, someone who is constantly a problem maker, not a problem “fixer”. You rarely get credit for the disasters you prevented.
