    Is there a phrase or term that describes this type of argument?

    Where instead of addressing the problem or considering it the answer is “Just leave” or “Just stop using it”…etc

    It’s a form of dismissiveness, but I’m sure there’s a name for it.

          …and Bud Light is back at #1, because the boycott boyz are pussies…

          …also, the ‘woke’ NFL is bigger than it’s ever been…

            Yeah they don’t actually have morals, they just react to current trends and will revert back when it becomes inconvenient.

            Me personally haven’t used FaceBook in a decade. Don’t use WhatsApp. Not shipped on Amazon for a couple of years now. Recently boycotted McD, etc.

            All of these things inconvenience my life to some extent but that’s the price of having morals. This fuckers are just going with the crowd.

              I feel like where I am. Starbucks used to play the place that well off white people went. It still is, but now it’s for liberals. Ever since the Great War (on Christmas), conservatives don’t go there.

                I question how liberal people are if they’re going Starbucks. They have an appalling record in terms of mining beans, how they treat their staff and their relationship with Israel.

              It was never all of McDonald’s,just the ones in Israel, and they were all franchises owned by one man.

              McDonald’s took such a publicity hit over something that wasn’t even their fault that they bought all the stores and made them corporate.

      I dunno, but if he ever tried to have an argument with me I’d probably just assume he was trying to provoke a fight and punch him in the face.

      He has a very punchable face. Nice and soft but it still makes this hollow ringing sound, I’ve heard.

      Maybe it’s a hybrid False Dilemma and a Appeal to hypocrisy?

      People have more options than taking your side, or leaving entirely. And not picking one of the two does not mean you are a hypocrite.
