Reject this notion of exploitation and join me in putting on the critic ideological lenses and traversing the fantasy. Slavoj Zizek, researcher at the institute of sociology at the university of Ljubljana, The Plague of Fantasies, 1997. Preface xi-xiii EM The claim that free speech leads to democratic debate and social progress is a neoliberal myth used to sustain the subjugation of the capitalist elite – the 1ACs faith in the free exchange of ideas displaces a focus on direct action and re-entrenches facets of oppression. Discursive framing is backwards—ideology and consumption patterns are determined by material inequalities. Discourse theory cedes politics by reducing radical action to ‘transgressive’ speech acts Tumino ‘8 Stephen Tumino, professor of English at the University of Pittsburgh, "Materiality in Contemporary Cultural Theory," The Red Critique, Fall/Winter 2008, accessed 1/21/10 http://www.redcritique.org/FallWinter2008/materialityincontemporaryculturaltheory.htm One of the…in the market. The state isn’t the innocent hero they make it out to be, it’s the dangerous joker that waits in the dark preying on the innocent. As long as action is taken in the context of the state, it’s doomed to maintain the capitalist machine. This is especially true in the context of promoting rights. Even fiat can’t escape the blood thirsty mindset of maximizing economic growth. Evans Tony Evans Department of Politics, University of Southampton, Highfield Citizenship and Human Rights in the Age of Globalization. This is uniquely bad- affirming the resolution makes the state look like a best friend- the state is able to pull of the façade of caring for its citizenry when in reality its merely using them as a means to acquiring more capital- silences criticism because if the state looks perfect and reformatory then widespread coalitions have no focal points to rally around. This means that the 1AC forecloses the possibility of ever creating an authentic solution to capitalism because we A) fail to recognize it still pervades our lives and B) think that those conditions are a good thing. Actions taken within the capitalist system only reproduce and make the system stronger.

Topical version of the aff Competing Interpretations K Genealogical interrogation of power that are within structures of norms is a precondition to ethical engagement. Lack of a genealogical interrogation lend itself to structures of power becoming structures of domination and societies of subjugation. ERLENBUSCH, Verena. From Race War to Socialist Racism: Foucault’s Second Transcription. Foucault Studies, S.l., p. 134-152, jan. 2017. ISSN 18325203. Available at: https://rauli.cbs.dk/index.php/foucault-studies/article/view/5239. Date accessed: 27 apr. 2017. Clarke Neg Pp 122-123 Strategies, such as the aff, that attempt to liberate that exist in a world of non-genealogical methods devolve into normative forms of disciplinary power that further perpetuate the cycle of oppression for those that sought liberation in the first place KOOPMAN, Colin. Genealogy as Critique: Foucault and the Problems of Modernity. Indiana University Press. 2013. 96-97 Foucault never denounced discipline. Nor need we. You, like me, already endorse its strategies, including normalization and surveillance, in some parts of your life. Despite occasional irritations, you want everyone to drive on the right side of the road. And even if you are someone who does not like the police, you surely would not complain about some organization dedicated to surveilling drivers to ensure that nobody drove on the other side. Few think that mandatory examinations for driving licenses are a bad idea, including even those who are hateful of the bureaucratic apparatus entrained by these examinations. These are trivial examples, but they point to the positive effects of discipline that Foucault too acknowledged. And yet no one would deny that disciplines and their strategies bear enormous dangers within. Here is my point: discipline is not bad, though it can be put to bad uses. The problem is not discipline. The problem is that we disciplinarians know not what to do when discipline goes bad. This problem is not trivial for us today amidst the swarming of the disciplines. The dangers of the disciplines are daily manifest in our prisons, our hospitals, our schools, our courtrooms, our bedrooms, our shopping malls, and our workplaces—they even manifest right at the heart of who we are in our very conceptions of our body and mind. Our problem is that when we find discipline going wrong, we often oppose it with practices of freedom as liberation or emancipation. But, Foucault insisted, the ideals of freedom with which we tend to work are often complicit with, rather than effective against, discipline. Liberation, once effective against repressive power, is rarely able to out us from the grip of discipline. This complicity runs in both directions. When we find freedom too free, too out of control, we try to cage it with our fine-tuned disciplinary apparatus. But the too-frequent result is blowback, or freedom flaunting itself in the face of discipline. That liberation and discipline are ineffective against the abuses of each other is an effect of the rigorous division (which I call the purification) of freedom and power charted by Foucault’s histories of modernity. This purification goes to the heart of Foucault’s problematizations of modernity. I shall describe in detail this entwinement of discipline and liberation in Chapter 5, where I reinterpret Discipline and Punish along these lines—for now I can only issue a promissory note. But if I can redeem this promissory note later, then I am justified now in claiming that Foucaultian problematization does not rely on an implicit normative mechanism to do its work. There is nothing wrong with discipline itself. But we do have a problem. When discipline goes wrong, as it often does, we often respond in ways that only reinforce discipline. This problem speaks more to the conditions of possibility for being, acting, and thinking in the present than it does to any normative judgment of what we are, do, or think.

So Does Donald Trump. 2/2/17. Robby Soave. My evidence is causal- movement identification means non violence is always better. Willer and Feinberg 17. Robb Willer is a professor of sociology, psychology, and organizational behavior at Stanford University.Matthew Feinberg is a professor of organizational behavior at the Rotman School of Management at the University of Toronto. The Washington Post. Feb 18.2017. The Big mistake some anti-Trump protesters could be making. For example, last summer, we recruited a diverse sample of Americans to participate in a study. They first gave their level of support for (then-presidential candidate) Donald Trump, viewed one of three videos and then again indicated how much they supported Trump. One video was of a news report about a recent anti-Trump protest. It showed protesters gathering in the middle of a busy street, causing a traffic jam and physically blocking carloads of Trump supporters from reaching a campaign event. The reporter covering the event describes the protesters as creating “a potentially dangerous situation” because their “actions are causing motorists to drive into oncoming traffic.” A second video was of a news report about a more moderate protest at a Trump rally, in which the protesters held signs and chanted loudly at Trump supporters. Finally, a third video that contained instructions for a home improvement project served as a control. As shown in the graph below, participants who viewed the video of the extreme protest action showed a significant increase in their support for Trump’s presidential candidacy. The video of moderate protests led to no such increase in support, nor did views of Trump change in the control condition. We found evidence for this same backlash effect in studies of reactions to animal rights and Black Lives Matter protests. In both cases, extreme protest tactics — inciting or engaging in violence, damaging property — led to less support than moderate protests — such as nonviolent marches and gatherings. To understand why extreme protest tactics tend to backfire, it helps to understand that one of the most important factors influencing whether someone will join a collective action is the extent to which they identify with the movement, both its supporters and the cause. This is reflected in our studies, where we found that the backlash against extreme protests was driven by decreased identification with the movement. Given that people are typically averse to violence and significant disruption of social order, it makes sense that extreme protests would make bystanders feel less similarity to, and solidarity with, protesters. Moderate tactics get just as much attention – violence isn’t necessary for attention. Willer and Feinberg 17. Robb Willer is a professor of sociology, psychology, and organizational behavior at Stanford University.Matthew Feinberg is a professor of organizational behavior at the Rotman School of Management at the University of Toronto. The Washington Post. Feb 18.2017. The Big mistake some anti-Trump protesters could be making. Multiple impacts: A- Violence- multiple innocent individuals are hurt in the process and sent to the hospital. People have nearly died- it’s a matter of time which outweighs death is irreversible. C- Prison industrial complex: Two warrants
2. More repressive policies come into action- Nixonian law proves that backlash to violence creates things like mandatory minimums. NYMag 15. NYMag. New Study Shows Riots Make America Conservative. May 21,2015. Jonathan Chait. The Nixonian law and order backlash drove a wave of repressive criminal-justice policies that carried through for decades with such force that even Democrats like Bill Clinton felt the need to endorse them in order to win elections. That wave has finally receded and created space for sentencing reforms, demilitarization, an emphasis on community policing, and other initiatives that even have bipartisan support. If the violent protests in Ferguson and Baltimore supercede nonviolent protest, Wasow’s research implies that the liberal moment might give way to another reactionary era. The criminal justice system serves as a gateway into the larger system of institutionalized racism and mass incarceration that permanently marks people of color as members of America’s under caste. | 4/29/17 |
