It's a worse idea than "everybody could be a billionaire if we printed more money." That idea would actually technically work, except inflation would make it a pyrrhic victory. Conversely, "let's just all get along and stop fighting" is dead on arrival; anybody who isn't willing to fight will inevitably be conquered by those who are. You couldn't even implement this idea for a pyrrhic victory, the only prize you'd win for yourself is your bloody annihilation. People laugh when you tell them this idea because unexpected twists that subvert normal expectations are fundamentally humorous, and a seemingly mature adult suddenly saying some childish nonsense like that is an unexpected twist.
