"Improve stuff" is tricky. That's a value judgement. Some people think "improving stuff" means eliminating or at least pushing some form of control over "people not like me."
If you wish to "improve" anything, that's a value judgement. *YOUR* values. *YOUR* judgement. Own it, and don't feel apologetic about it. Best as you find those of like mind who *share* those values to work with and have company on the road you travel. But those are still *YOUR* values. You can't get away from that.
