How do I convince my anti-colonization partner that trying to colonize the sol system is the right thing to do?

Find something your partner values and stretch that to be the sole purpose of colonization. Like a conman.

The great thing about colonization is you don't have to convince anyone. Just take what's yours and kill or enslave anyone who gets in your way.
Fuck this colonialism shit, white boi. You just tryin to escape so you dont have to pay for your crimes.
Tell him about the riches to be had.
And the alien concubines.

Official names,
Sun = Sol
Moon = Luna
Earth = Terra
That's why you see them in so many sci-fi.

Neither of you will colonize any planet, so there's no point in arguing.
Space colonization lies on a spectrum.
I think calling it colonization invites inevitable backlash from the lefties. And that's besides the fact that any such project will involves radioactive, chemical and or biological pollution on whatever world you are targeting. Aka environmentalists will go batshit the moment they sniff something's happening.
I prefer to call it planetary enrichment.
Why is it the right thing to do? What does Mars offer beyond the novelty of not being Earth?

Show him how good it feels, shove a Mars bar up his ass.
Mars isn't shiting itself with fossil fuels

You don't read any sci-fi at all do you? Also, those are the Latin names.
