Struck a nerve, did I?

You do realize that these people cannot "just leave", right? Where are they going to go? That's literally the whole point of it being a braindead take, you aren't putting yourself in their shoes and instead are using your comparably comfortable life to say they should leave.

So yes, the original comment I replied to is braindead and so is yours.

I absolutely am not saying it's easy, hell if I even know if it's possible for many. Why are you so hostile?

It's not possible for most, that's the point. You saying that they should leave is ignorant at best and "hostile" at worst.
