Oskar Schindler saved over a thousand people from being murdered by Nazis only because he manipulated the system from within. He and everyone he saved would have been murdered if he had resisted the Nazi Party in a different way.

There was one Schindler and ten thousand monsters.

Sure, but it also proves the comic above is a possibility.

I think all large organizations have several people who wish to do good, or at least dream of it. And those trying make good stories and provide hope.

Perhaps we are evolutionary designed to be drawn towards such people.

But it does squat all for 99.999% of the people caught up in these events

Better than none Schindlers and ten thousand and one monsters

Bad things happen to large groups of people and there are no heroes to rescue most.
