Not trying to make anyone feel guilty or make it seem like I'm doing anything either. Just pointing out that there is very little any of us can actually do and getting so emotional about somebody buying shares is a little silly because what are the alternatives?

The alternative is to pause and think of the human on the other side of the screen. You might consider that perhaps while they are frantically trying to evacuate their parents from an active warzone, it might seem crass to swap trading tips to seemingly profit off their misery.
Furthermore, it might seem crass to confront them with a "What are you doing to help?" in an effort to win an internet debate. While this may seem like a distant conflict to you, it has hit close to home for many on Hacker News (and many of my colleagues at work as well).
Give me a break, they are on HN. If they don't like what somebody is talking about then they can ignore it instead of engaging them especially since they are so busy "frantically" trying to evacuate people.
If they felt guilty by my reply they should evaluate why since that wouldn't make most people feel guilty
