+Fiat is illusory. When we talk about passing plans or acting as policy makers inside of the statusquo, it is all an imaginary experiment that has no real world implications beyond the imaginary world we create. The action of assuming that a plan is passing and an action is taken discloses the possibility that our individual actions can have an effect to actually make change and assumes only institutions can make change. Even we individually cannot have as huge as an impact as an institution it is still more productive to talk about the things we can do rather than imagine the things we will never be capable of. Fiat double bind: Either the harms are the are true and they cannot solve for their impacts before they control the levers of power OR their harms are constructed for the purpose of alarmism which means you can vote on principle. This means that they not only lack solvency but forclose tehe possibility of having an impact in the real world. |

+THE IMMINENT THREAT OF NUCLEAR ANNIHILATION HAS LITERALLY BECOME A NON-EVENT, FOR THE EXPLOSIVE ENERGY OF THE NUCLEAR HAS BEEN PROGRAMMATICALLY INTEGRATED INTO THE STRATEGIES OF SOCIAL AND POLITICAL IMPLOSION. THE TECHNOLOGIES OF THE NUCLEAR, OF A DETERRENCE WITHOUT ANY BOUNDARIES OR OBJECTIVES, ARE A FIXTURE OF A GLOBAL POWER THAT LEVELS OUT THE POSSIBILITY OF ANY TRUE CONFLICT OR EVENT IN ORDER TO INCORPORATE THE POLITICAL INTO THE TOTALIZING LOGIC OF SECURITY. EVEN THE MOST PEACEFUL ANTI-NUCLEAR MOVEMENTS ARE NEUTRALIZED BY THE MODELS OF NUCLEAR DETERRENCE, WHICH OPERATE AT THE LEVEL OF MOLECULAR AND PROGRAMMATIC CONTROL. |

+Power in American society is predicated on our societal fear of biological death that makes enjoying the process of life impossible. This allows for coercive and unwarranted threats that turn the Other into something dangerous that we should protect ourselves from. Live humans create productivity for those in power, but when we reduce life to productivity, life becomes meaningless for the individual. Robinson 12: |

+THE ALT is a symbolic act of identifying with the Other. We can’t do anything cause we are high schoolers but we can still affirm the resolution on the symbolic level and have solvency and impacts on the symbolic level. The best way to do that is to affirm the topic symbolically to trivialize cultures around the world that legitimize the fear of death. you recognize the other is not death Stavrakakis 99 |
