Interestingly enough, the OP’s op crystallizes the difference in ideology between them and everyone else. Because typical Judaism understands and accepts that Moshiach’s coming won’t be all champagne and roses (yom hadin hagadol, etc.) we know that when we daven for Moshiach we aren’t/shouldn’t be davening with selfish motives, because all we want is giluy kavod Shamayim in this world, so who really cares if that means we’ll suffer on a personal level- we want it because it’s ratzon Hashem and ritzoneinu la’asos Ritzoncha. To come to this madreiga is obviously difficult, but that’s our avodah- to want it because it’s Hashem’s will, regardless of how we will personally benefit or the opposite, not to try and find chiddushim/pshatim or pretend/gloss over what’s coming. All your doing is admitting your motives are selfish, because now you can get the goodies and not be worried about the hard parts. But that’s all you wanted in the first place, isn’t it.
