What’s the point of changing our ways and trying to become better if society defines us as thee worst thing we’ve ever done?

Be honest. If you did something bad (which everyone has something in the closet) and society has decided that is all you’ll ever be. You are to
only be judged at your worst. Then what’s the point of trying to be better? Why change? Why not just go out with a bang?

depends on why they change

changing despite not being told to do so is a good but changing because you got caught isn't good enough

there's a difference between a thief or a cheater who didn't get caught stealing or cheating on their spouse but later confess their sins and changed as a result versus a thief or a cheater who got caught stealing or cheating on their spouse and only changed because they got caught

see the difference?

but that's fine by me because the worst thing I've ever done is point out injustices and call out mainstream societal bullshit only to receive buzzword insults

The point is to feel good about yourself. You should do it for yourself not for others, as long as you know that and you forgive and learn from your mistakes then you won't give a damn what society thinks.

Ignore society and think for yourself.
