7		-====Exploitation has moved from the actual to the virtual. We no longer have material labor forms like slavery, but instead have transitioned to a globalized network of information exchange known as semio-captialsim. This terrain is ruled by non-referent signifiers like economic statistics and fears. That's where the 1AC comes in. The attempt at ameliorating the oppression of minorities is an attempt to boost our numbers, stay on top, and keep producing. ====

He currently teaches Social History of the Media at the Accademia di Brera, Milan. "The Future After the End of the Economy"//ASherm~~ 2011

14		-====Having lost all touch with authenticity in our consumer society, we seek out our roots and our heritage when faced with the harms of capitalism. The AFF is the perfect example: when confronted with the harms of the nuclear energy source established BY corporations, there is a reformation of identitarian groupings, a place of belonging, a place where people feel they have meaning. ====

18		-Israel and Palestinians is based on the arbitrary identification of memory and right.
19		-
20		-
21		-====The problem with the re-territorializion of identity groupings is that it explodes into aggressive violence. In order to sustain themselves, there must be an enemy to fight against, a literal personification of evil, which culminates in violence toward other identities. All the while, global antagonisms maintain a state of permanent warfare against the periphery.====
22		-Bifo 3 ~~Francesco 'Bifo' Berardi, Professor of Social History of Communication at the Accademia di Belle Arti of Milan, Heroes: Mass Murder and Suicide, Verso: Brooklyn, NY, 2015, p. 101-4~~
23		-At issue here are the essential features of what is generally called fundamentalism, but
24		-AND
25		-in the realm of identity is leading to a state of permanent war.
26		-
27		-
28		-====Furthermore, semiotics functions through categorization – your identification does nothing but allow the state to categorize you into an excel spreadsheet – this results in people becoming data to be entered into a machine, robbed of their ontological value and forced into a system of virtual labor. ====

35		-====The virtual economic vampire lurks above us; thus the role of the ballot is to challenge institutions of semio-capitalism through non-productive methodologies – only by resisting the calls of freneticism can we truly break out of this system of domination.====
36		-Svirsky 10 Marcelo Svirsky, professor of critical and cultural theory at Cardiff University (UK), "Introduction: Beyond the Royal Science of Politics," Deleuze Studies Vol 4: 2010, pg. 3
37		-Rather than problematising the political, this royal understanding of activism uses its 'metric

39		-to confront and possibly overcome political inhibitions, in both knowledge and practice.

41		-
42		-====Semiocapitalism feeds off of the frenetic desire of the masses – cultivating productive energy through retweets, likes, and activism. The only ethical option when confronted with this virtual war machine is to become a 'chaoide.' A Chaoide is a decoder of chaos that refuses to act in the rhythm of financial capitalism and instead cultivates meaning by saying no to the game.====
