Stop trying to make things not what they obviously are just so you can ignore the fact that not everything in Remnant is black and white. The world isn't a fairy tale and there is no such thing as "pure evil", just as Blake said in V1. But the fandom ignores this so they can keep beliving in the simplistic lie of "good guys and bad guys". The point is that the reason she's referring to Ozpin's design as "sick" and "cruel" is literally "Humans can't defeat my forces, so it's pointless for them to struggle to do so. You've convinced them that their world can be saved, so they keep fighting back in what I believe to be a pointless effort."

What she's referring to as "sick" and "cruel" is Ozpin getting humans to continue fighting for their survival.

"Convinced them their world could be saved"

Saved from what? Why is it cruel that people are trying to save their world?? Just because Salem thinks they can't save their world and can't defeat what is threatening their world?? Just because Ozpin and the rest would rather try anyway and either succeed or go down with a fight, rather than just sitting there and accepting it?? Salem is a Fatalist. She thinks she will succeed and that it is useless to try and stop her, hence her believing Ozpin trying to fight fate is "sick" and "cruel" since it making their deaths come much sooner.

Ozpin however is the opposite. He wants to fight the fate she believes is final and doesn't want to give into darkness.

I guess its easier to say one believes its useless to fight fate, the other says screw destiny.
