	1	+The affirmative’s claim that there is a positive correlation between free speech and resistance to oppressive power-structures is false. Rather, a surplus of information annihilates meaning and dissolves the social. Our belief in the power of information to destabilize oppression is as foolish as our belief that excessive material production will give us social purpose, and is based on the same false assumption.

	8	+Still worse, the critical speech endorsed by the AC has already been captured and appropriated by the neoliberal semiocapitalism it claims to resist– revolution, scandal, assassination, crisis, critique: these are merely the latest and greatest tools of the system to simulate its own escape, fleeing to another layer of the simulacra. The resulting change is merely an illusion. This turns the AC: critical speech uniquely allows the system to feign its own death by negativity. The Aff is doing exactly what The Man wants.

	15	+Finally, the affirmative’s speech act is exemplary of the reinforcement of the system through its opposite. The debate space is a prime example of the sterilization and destruction of meaning, and construing the ballot as a locus of resistance to the harms of oppression is a sham. You can reject the affirmative on-face as a cynical performative contradiction that annihilates the meaning of resistance in the debate space.

	22	+Finally, the alternative:
	23	+The current system of semiocapitalism WANTS us to overproduce, be it material goods, speech, or subjectivity. By rejecting the affirmative’s call for MORE, the negative world adopts a position of strategic passivity: in the face of new systems of oppression that treat us as subjects to the extreme, the only worthwhile strategy of resistance is to become objects. Therefore, the alt text is to vote negative so as to reject the AC in an act of strategic passivity, and the role of the ballot is to endorse the debater who best resists semiocapitalism.
