Let me try again because you haven't gotten it yet. Pro-swimming means he actively wants people to swim. If you are just against stopping people from swimming, that doesn't mean you want to force everyone to swim.
I mean there isn't, but also if you want to show other people are wrong (the racists) then you need to know what being wrong is and how to show that. This person doesn't know and so would be detrimental in an actual debate as their points could be disproven and the racists would then believe themselves right. You have to make your arguments unasailable because the other side only want to prove you wrong, they don't think they have to prove themselves right.
Being pro-abortion does not mean someone wants everyone to have an abortion.
Being pro-LGBTQ+ does not mean someone wants everyone to be queer.
Being pro-legalization does not mean someone wants everyone to do recreational drugs.
It means a person believes those things should be permissible.
Literally the movement is pro-choice not pro-abortion.
Pro-legalisation obviously doesn't mean that, it means you want it legalised, how is this relevant? Also pro-legalisation doesn't mean it wants legalisation to be permissible, it already is.
Darn, I have been sucked into a debate with a bad faith troll. That is definitely on me.
Genuinely not my intention, what did I do in bad faith?
