0--1nc--Framework Makes the Game WorkTournament: Voices RR | Round: 4 | Opponent: Presentation AS | Judge: Obuchi, Steele Interp: Resolved means the affirmative must defend the implementation of a policy action by a governmentParcher 1 (Jeff, Fmr. Debate Coach at Georgetown University, February, http://www.ndtceda.com/archives/200102/0790.html)** AND or 'no' - which, of course, are answers to a question. Their aff avoids neg prep. The topic is the basis for predictable limits – abandoning it means the affirmative can argue for anything which the negative cannot possibly prepare for.Topical fairness requirements are key to effective dialogue—monopolizing strategy makes the discussion one-sided and exclusionaryGalloway 7—Samford Comm prof (Ryan, Contemporary Argumentation and Debate, Vol. 28, 2007) AND substitutes for topical action do not accrue the dialogical benefits of topical advocacy. Vote neg – they destroy your ability to meaningfully evaluate the winner of the round based on who was the better debater which is the purpose of the judge, so you should reject arguments that prevent you from exercising that role.Reject the debater – the entire round is already skewed since the 1NC strategy is determined by the aff. A 1AR advocacy shift makes dialogue impossible since it escapes the entire 1NC and gives the neg only 6 minutes of the 2NR versus the aff’s 7 minutes.This outweighs:It governs their access to substantive arguments so it logically has to be decided before substance, since if I win it they shouldn’t have access to that argument to begin with – it’s a prior questionI couldn’t contest the aff to begin with – they can’t apply the aff against T since that assumes their aff was legitimate to begin with. They don’t get access to claims that weren’t contestable by me.It directly concerns the role of the judge since the entire point of a judge is to decide who won the roundThe topic is a more fair institutional norm. A fair topic that’s predictable to both sides is better for accessibility.Galloway 7 - Ryan Galloway, assistant professor of communication studies and director of debate at Samford University, "DINNER AND CONVERSATION AT THE ARGUMENTATIVE TABLE: RECONCEPTUALIZING DEBATE AS AN ARGUMENTATIVE DIALOGUE," Contemporary Argumentation and Debate, Vol. 28 (2007) AND controversy access to formulating their approach to both sides of the topic question.

JanFeb--1nc---K--DeleuzeTournament: Stanford | Round: Octas | Opponent: Harvard Westlake EE | Judge: Lonham, Perieis, forgot The aff is committed to a stable, life-negating politics. We'll highlight 4 links:1. Consensus building – their aff uses free speech as an instrument towards a crystallized political form that can represent all citizens. For instance, their Eberly evidence says free speech "advances knowledge and truth" as if there is one truth out there our politics should strive towards. Their Lukianoff card says speech acts as the instrumentality of the state, allowing us to make political reforms through persuasion.This locks in violence – we search for one political alternative rather than embracing flex and instability – political hierarchies remain, only in new forms.2. Rationalism – their framework is based on a liberal rationalist model – for instance Eberley argues free speech is necessary to act as an autonomous, rational subject. This negates affective forms of engagement – rather than basing politics in the free flow of desire, we contain this desire in the cage of rational autonomy3. Civic engagement – the aff seeks not to destroy power but to seize it for themselves. This reveals the micro-fascist within the affirmative – civic engagement uses the State for new, equally violent ends4. Extinction – appealing to fear of death to animate politics forces us into rigidity – we flee from the terrifying flux of life rather than embracing the uncertainty that comes with looking into the face of Death rather than fleeing itThis negation of the flux of desire negates lines of flight, converting them into lines of death. Rigidity causes us to internalize micro-fascism, and allows war machines to take over the the State – the impact is totalitarianism and mass violenceDeleuze and Guattari 80 The alt is becoming-revolutionary. This is an affective, localized mobilization that affirms radical flexibility and resists political subjection. The perm is impossible – our model requires affect while theirs banishes it, and we reject all-encompassing political models like the affs because they crystallize hierarchiesKanngieser 13 (Anja, lecturer in the Department of Sociology, Goldsmiths College, University of London,. .

JanFeb--1nc--DA--NormingTournament: CPS | Round: 2 | Opponent: immaculate heart | Judge: JJ Focusing on the underpinings and societal norms of violence like isolating militarism ignores the real subjective violence. It creates a tradeoff with interpersonal violent thoughts and decisions that make violence permissible in the first place- Their Wingenbach evidence is damningSusanne Kappeler, Freelance Writer, A History of Violence, 1995, pg 1-2 CSViolence is recognized beings or things. Their idea of ethical social policy as a foundation for stopping violence ignores the interpersonal element of violent behavior.Kappeler, 1995Susanne Kappeler, Freelance Writer, A History of Violence, 1995, pg 8 CS AND the range of competence of persons which are the topic of this book. We control the root cause and turn the case-To ignore the agency of those who decide to engage in violence only allows that violence to go on unabetted. Collective blaming and victimizing hijacks any effective political resistance to violence.Kappeler, 1995Susanne Kappeler, Freelance Writer, A History of Violence, 1995, pg 3 CSTo overlook this decision, however, is itself a political decision, serving particular interests. In the first instance it serves to exonerate the perpetrators, ...which we are to assume to be a zone of non-violence. The alternative is to use the personal decision to engage in violence as a starting point for political conversations about violence.We must move away from the use of state power and social control to fix the circumstances that cause violent behavior. Liberation from mass political violence requires placing the decision to engage in violence first. | 2/3/17 |

Slavery does not die because it has never lived. Anti-blackness structures the field of Ontology—-black captivity is the perfection of metaphysics because Being itself became objectified.

JanFeb--1nc--K--BaudrillardTournament: CPS | Round: Doubles | Opponent: Sunset AB | Judge: Sur, damerdiji, leigh Every protest and revolutionary project in the 1ac has already been trapped, enmeshed in the code, confined in the social fabric that conscribes it. The aff’s naïve belief that we just need more speech to challenge "the system" is a dangerous illusion, one that results in false hope, futility, and ultimately nihilism as it repeatedly fails to break free of the repression it targets.Andrew Robinson 13 ~(Andrew Robinson, political theorist and activist based in the UK. His bookandnbsp;Power, Resistance and Conflict in the Contemporary World: Social Movements, Networks and Hierarchies (co-authored with Athina Karatzogianni) was published in Sep 2009 by Routledge, ) Jean Baudrillard and Activism: A critique, Ceasefire Magazine 2-7-2013~ AT AND for an Event has become such a popular theme in contemporary radical theory. Lets pull some specific lines from the affTheir Maloney Ev: "We should be able to participate in the free market of ideas."Their Khan Evidence also indicates the desirability of open dialogue as a means to challenge imperialismTheir Hudson evidence indicates that free speech is key to coalition building and social movements that challenge imperialismIn the age of simulation, the system is so saturated with meaning, that even the social becomes meaningless. The mass comes to represent nothing, unable to speak or be spoken for. Thousands act while millions are sequestered by their profound indifference. This fission of the social produces harmonic violence. Politics becomes an empty simulacrum, a form of powerless power capable of ruling us only while we buy into its insidious illusion that it can still speak for the faceless mass. The aff's project of free speech is based on the precisely this illusion - they are obsessed with producing more meaning, mobilizing the masses with information, activism, and protest. This project is frustrated by the fundamental antagonism between the meaningless mass and the system's desperate drive to synthesize meaning. Reject the aff's call for protest and action; instead of injecting the mass with more meaning, more information you should let the system's inability to produce meaning overtake the system itself in a beautiful implosion. The aff sustains the system's power; vote neg to watch it burn.Baudrillard 83 ~Jean, IN THE SHADOW OF THE SILENT MAJORITIES ••• OR THE END OF THE SOCIAL. 1983~ AT AND every chance that our passage towards implosion may also be violent and catastrophic. Consumer capitalism simulates liberation to enforce social control – even radical politics does nothing to challenge the symbolic underpinnings of the system, which means zero aff solvencyPawlett 10 ~(William Pawlett, senior lecturer in media, communications and cultural studies at University of Wolverhampton) "The Baudrillard Dictionary" under "Code" Edinburgh University Press, 2010~ AT AND reality’: the complete and final replacement for the world as symbolic form. In an attempt to rid society of the otherness, society has reduced the duality of the world to binary oppositions that fail to capture the unknown of the radically dual other. Good and Evil have been distilled by modern morality to reduce Evil to the accidental, that which can be controlled and eradicated. This allows for the violence of the axis of good. The diversion of Good and Evil has given Evil the autonomy to change the rules of the game. Strategies of sudden, ironic reversions through symbolic exchange have the potential to bring back Evil and radical otherness and disrupt the ‘hell of the same’Pawlett 14 (William Pawlett, a professor of media and cultural studies at the University of Wolverhampton, International Journal of Baudrillard Studies, Baudrillard and War, "Society at War With Itself," Volume 11, Number 2, May 2014, http://www2.ubishops.ca/baudrillardstudies/vol-11'2/v11-2-pawlett.html, LD) AND , and in events or exchanges between people caught up in the cycle. This means zero aff solvency – exploitation is inevitable even if the aff liberates speech since they make people’s lives net worseValue to life also outweighs the aff – the lives the aff saves are meaningless because the aff erases the value in themSecond, necronomy – as the foundations of capitalism erode, war and violence are used to respondBifo 11 ~(Franco Berardi, Italian Marxist theorist and activist in the autonomist tradition, whose work mainly focuses on the role of the media and information technology within post-industrial capitalism) "After the Future" 09/20/11~ AND and the hope.

We do not have an alternative, because to ask for an alternative would be to play into the system’s hands, playing in the language of empty political signs without referents. Instead, we offer a singularity: symbolically challenge the system by rejecting the gift of free speech. The system’s power requires the unilateral giving of these gifts, which the alternative reverses.Pawlette 7 ~(William Pawlett,senior lecturer in media, communications and cultural studies at University of Wolverhampton) "The 'Break' with Marxism"~ AT AND to accept, the 'gifts' of self, career, status and information. | 2/25/17 |
JanFeb--1nc--K--Baudrillard V2Tournament: Golden Desert | Round: 1 | Opponent: Green Valley KD | Judge: OKrent The late-capitalist system has been so saturated with meaning that society has become meaningless; the masses represent nothing, unable to speak or be spoken for.

In the age of simulation, the system is so saturated with meaning, that even the social becomes meaningless. The mass comes to represent nothing, unable to speak or be spoken for. Thousands act while millions are sequestered by their profound indifference. This fission of the social produces violence. Politics becomes an empty simulacrum, a form of powerless power capable of ruling us only while we buy into its insidious illusion that it can still speak for the faceless mass. The aff's project of free speech is based on the precisely this illusion - they are obsessed with producing more meaning, mobilizing the masses with information, activism, and protest. This project is frustrated by the fundamental antagonism between the meaningless mass and the system's desperate drive to synthesize meaning. Reject the aff's call for protest and action; instead of injecting the mass with more meaning, more information you should let the system's inability to produce meaning overtake the system itself in a beautiful implosion.

In an attempt to rid society of the otherness, society has reduced the duality of the world to binary oppositions that fail to capture the unknown of the radically dual other. Good and Evil have been distilled by modern morality to reduce Evil to the accidental, that which can be controlled and eradicated. This allows for the violence of the axis of good. The diversion of Good and Evil has given Evil the autonomy to change the rules of the game.
