Re: Wait…are we supposed to disagree?

Anything where people are living happy lives and don't know they're secretly prisoners being used for something, and if things go as planned they'll never find out. (Two examples: The Matrix and the book Running Out of Time.) I always hate the heroes who expose the truth and "rescue" them. What right do they have to disrupt these people's lives and put them at more risk? It's a cure that's worse than the disease. If there's someone who doesn't want to be rescued, they'll always be portrayed as wrong and I'll take their side.

someone who doesn't want to be rescued
does that always mean they're happy?
what about people suicidal or in domestic abuse situations?

I'll give you Matrix because I've never actually watched it. But Running Out Of Time?

The girl was going outside to get help because children were DYING. Of a disease that the modern world cured ages ago.

I don't see any reason why those children should die without help just because some people want to live in the "good ol' days".

It wasn't because people "wanted to live in the good ol' days." It was because they were trying to raise the human immune system to prepare for the future. The kids in the village didn't know they didn't have to die. I think it's worth sacrificing a few kids with weaker immune systems so less people have to die in the future.

Well, there's the good old "the end justifies the means" argument anyway.
