Whereas at the end of the road which you appear to be defending, there won't even be systems left that meet *your* definition of “free” any more.

I'd rather use whatever freedom and power of choice I have now to try to avert this course. I wish you would, too.

If we give up our freedom without a fight, we'll end up without it. If we fight for it, there's a chance we retain whatever we still have, and even gain back some of what we've already lost. I'd rather fight and risk failing than give it up and be certain of ending up without it.
