Welcome to the internet, where "I disagree with you, and here is the reasoning and evidence supporting my position" is trolling, but "MOVE TO SOMALIA, YOU TRAITOR" is not.

Yeah, a lot of people throw out the "If you don't like it move" as though that is even remotely realistic. Like you can drop what you are doing, and everything you own and just move somewhere else because of "disagreement".
The world doesn't work like that. It is actually a quite stupid kneejerk response not well thought out. They frame it in nice words, but they might as well have been ad hominem attacking you with "fuck you!".
"Love it or leave it" is the most blatant possible example of the Ergo Decedo fallacy. It demonstrates intellectual weakness and surrender in the face of reason.
My dissent post is up now, BTW.
Damn... See this is why I say practice critical thinking to always get better. I have heard of identification of that fallacy but, I haven't really internalized recognizing it as such in my own mind. Thanks for another one to work on.
