    “The definition of “anti” is “to oppose” or “opposite” and it can very well be treated as a negation - particularly when it is used in political discourse, where being “anti-anti” very strongly implies being “pro”, and trying to argue otherwise is facetious at best.”

        Facetious at best.

        I was happy to assume your original argument was a genuine mistake and you’d respond in an honest manner. I’m not interested in debating whatever additional, spurious examples and analogies you want to dream up to argue about - they’re irrelevant and this increasingly looks like an attempt to muddy the water of a serious, and plainly evident issue.

        You’ve made it obvious enough that your intentions here are dishonest, so don’t expect any further engagement from me.

          Just admit there is no argument, you are just clearly wrong. Hell, even the word pro was already moving the goalpost since there is no pro in the post or my original comment. Without that goalpost move, you don’t have a leg to stand on.
