Heroes fight injustice.
If the injustice is large, people join them in the fight.
This will never happen again.
If you see injustice in the world and attempt to fight it today, you will not find anyone willing to join you.
It will be a battle that you fight alone, and maybe with a few close friends.
William Wallace from braveheart in today's world, would never have anyone on his side, he would be a small blip easily destroyed by not wanting to disturb the comfort of the system.
I just watched a movie called Ned Kelly on hulu, comparing him to william wallace in braveheart the story is similiar, and he could have been a huge hero, but no one joined his fight.

So, enjoy your lives as slaves to the status quo and die knowing that there will never again be any heroes to come to your rescue.
Because, if they did, you would just ignore them and continue with life as usual.
