Actually, it is also hard to change the system from within. We humans run on corrupted hardware[1], and being in the system in the first place often change us in ways we don't initially approve of.
Now I think we do need people to change the system from within. But I also think we need other people who stay outside, if only to remind us of the ultimate goal.
