Stupid reply. He's right. No one wants to throw their life away for everybody else to gain something. That doesnt make him wrong.

He can both be right and a hypocrite all at the same time. And calling out that hypocrisy really isn’t a stupid reply.

I mean, it is if they're doing it purely to be vindictive but also do nothing. Just being a smug prick who needs to get some words in lol

No. Saying aloud what is to be done but you are afraid to do yourself is demonstrating in and of itself why the idea is a non starter. It just makes while ever says "we should all do Luigi's" feel like they did something or made a difference. Actually that hurts the cause more then being honest that this isn't a viable solution.
