"The Book of the Five Rings" by Miamoto Musashi

First, you have to understand that it's their lives, not yours. You're not entitled to saving them from anything. Their lack of agency is what got them to where they are in the first place. Responsibility is a right, not a duty. And what I mean by this is that responsibility gives people power over their own lives. To strip people away from their responsibility, to shelter them of the consequences of their own actions, is to steal from them all dignity as a Human Being.
Second, you're not going to convince them to fight for something. They are probably so drenched in nihilism that they genuinly don't care about anything anymore. What they can do, however, is learn how to live with themselves and carry their lives with pride.

Once the flame of their spirits is reignited, perhaps then, if you're lucky, they will look forward and try to acomplish something with their lives.
