+The 1AC epistemologically and methodologically falls into the trap of linear time- they analyze time as a series of events that independently happened There’s the past, present and the future. What they fail to realize is that the narrative of linear time is a tool used by the state and dominant powers to placate revolution and reinforce the idea that structural violence can be changed by appeals to legislation. The portrayal of the future as something amazing and better that we are constantly working toward is used by structures to rewrite history and over look past oppression, even though oppression exists cyclically and re-interprets itself in new ways. |

+The promise of a future free of imperialism prevents a full confrontation with temporality as accumulation. There is no relief to come in some mystical future. Only understanding violence as accumulation and captivity allows us to understand the existing conditions of violence and come up with solutions. |

+If the future is the accumulated past then the only way to destroy the future is the break the present as we know it. The Alternative is to embrace the incoherence of multiplicity and difference in contrast to the state’s focus on coherence and linear temporality. |

+Only the alternative has the capacity to change the way violence operates- certain bodies are denied personhood by definition. Legal reformulations and the state’s demarcations mean that we need a method to articulate subjectivity and personhood outside of the traditional western order. |
