I'm sure by the end they'll be sending every person inside those Walls off on a suicide charge, from their elders to their children. They'll go on saying if they're going to die anyway, might as well die a proud death. It only proves how unimaginative and set in their ways they are."

What mistakes they've done over and over again? And by "going to die anyway" means the Walled world has always had no future like what Reiner said? And that its inhabitants were set to be slaughtered either way as in it's just a matter of time before it happens.

I think Zeke is just talking about the Walled people's memories of the outside world. He's basically saying that it's because their memories of the world have been taken that they keep risking their lives to escape the Wall, and maybe if their memories hadn't been taken, they wouldn't keep killing themselves to escape.

As for the "going to die anyway" line, I think he's just referring to the soldiers' "I should give my life to fighting the Titans, not just sit around inside the Walls waiting to die of old age" mentality.
