Framework – Role Of The Ballot

Anti-Colonial Pedagogy Dei

My argument isn’t that we should eliminate colonialism through micro-politics. But if colonialism is bad, and their advocacy supports that ideology, you should give these arguments more weight than arguments about fake people that won’t affect anyone. The Kritik operates as a criticism of the affirmative, so using post-fiat arguments or burdens contained within the AC to answer the K is circular.

The role of an educator is to create a learning environment that challenges oppressive ideologies; this is key to our mental liberation.

Also, it is your role to encourage the resistance of colonial ideology, thus vote for those who resist it as a way of creating an anti-colonial environment.

Gerald Gaus writes:
Gerald F. Gaus, “Public Justification and the Moral Right of Private Property”.  No Date. http://www.unc.edu/~jabaker/gaus.pdf
A regime of rights, and in particular of regime of private or “several” property, is a form of social commensuration or, perhaps better understood, a way to avoid the requirement of social commensuration.64 This point is seldom appreciated. To be sure, it is often acknowledged that “property draws a circle around the activities of each private individual or organization. Within that circle, the individual has a greater degree of freedom than without” and that “organizing idea” of the “private property system” is ”the idea of sanctioning expansion of personal spheres ofauthority so as to secure individuals inviolability in their respective life projects.”65 What is less appreciated is how this devolution of moral authority allows us to cope with evaluative diversity without ongoing collective commensuration. If we conceive of property rights as moral, property owners possess a moral claim within their sphere to employ controversial evaluative standards yielding decisions about how to employ resources. Owners employ controversial standards with which others disagree, yet others recognize a bundle of moral duties and liabilities that give public moral standing to the owner’s standard-based activity. Rights in several property, by devolving moral jurisdiction, allow for moral claims in the face of evaluative disagreement and the absence of commensuration.66 As Jeremy Waldon observes “Ownership …expresses the abstract idea of an object being correlated with the name of some individual, in relation to a rule which says that society will uphold that individual’s decision as final when there is any dispute about how the object should be used.”67 Ownership implies authority over decisions about the use of objects and parts of the world.68 Some system of private ownership is thus endorsed by the very idea of public justification under conditions of far-reaching evaluative diversity. From a moral perspective, a system of private property lessens the burdens of public justification and the demands on devices of social commensuration.

Therefore, my standard is respecting property rights.

My contention is that banning the production of nuclear power is an unjust limit on property ownership.

Nuclear power generation does not constitute a use of force against another, so a ban on nuclear power is illegitimate. The miniscule risk from nuclear accidents doesn’t count. Block et. al.
