We begin with the story of the University of Illinois at Urbana Champaign, a land grant university built on the paradox of stolen land. Peter Kirstein articulates that:

One of the concerns that emerged

The American University is built on a settler colonial project that thrives on the death of indigenous bodies- the sacrifices and struggles for the freedom to speak one’s mind that the aff fights for is afforded by curricular violence- before we can fight to protect the right to speak we must examine how what we speak is complicit in and recreates settler colonialism- Gaztambide-Fernandez and Tuck 1: (Ruben Gaztambide-Fernandez and Eve Tuck, Curriculum Replacement and Settler Futurity, 2013 http://journal.jctonline.org/index.php/jct/article/viewFile/411/pdf DFS)

The 1AC is an act of settler futurity. It endorses settlement as something to be continued, furthering the ongoing elimination of native people. The speech act renders a settler future knowable and ethical through performance.

I value Morality as implied by the word ought in the resolution.
In order for us to achieve morality, we must strive for the inclusion of people who are otherwise excluded by society- Winter and Leighton concur:
Psychologists Deborah Winter and Dana Leighton write ~Deborah DuNann Winter and Dana C. Leighton  Winter :Psychologist that specializes in Social Psych, Counseling Psych, Historical and Contemporary Issues, Peace Psychology. Leighton: PhD graduate student in the Psychology Department at the University of Arkansas. "Peace, conflict, and violence: Peace psychology in the 21st century."~
Finally, to recognize
And
building lasting peace.
And, the greatest instance of moral exclusion is bare life, when people’s lives are reduced to merely being alive as opposed to being able to enjoy the things that happen in life. For example, being kept alive in a cage and being fed food through a tube technically is life, but it ultimately is a state of constant suffering, which is a much larger instance of moral exclusion than any other. Ziarek explains:

"For Agamben, bare life
and
" political principle of genocide."
Thus the Value Criterion is resisting actions that create bare life.
I contend that affirming legal change creates the possibility of bare life.
First, attempting to fix structural problems that occur within the law while using the law creates the conditions for bare life because it concedes to the ability of the government to absolutely control the individual- Agamben furthers:

The 1AC is an act of settler futurity. It endorses settlement as something to be continued, furthering the ongoing elimination of native people. The speech act renders a settler future knowable and ethical through performance. To affirm is to work within the false assumption that the state can be ethical.  Gaztambide-Fernandez and Tuck 13

The settler colonial curricular project of replacement is invested in settler futurity, or what
AND
now-settlers in the ways that settler futurity requires of Indigenous peoples.

The 1AC ignores the violence committed against indigenous people and defers action into the receding temporal horizon.  This is especially damning in the context of this resolution which is wrapped up in indigenous oppression. Byrd 11:

Byrd, Jodi (2011). The Transit of Empire: Indigenous Critiques of Colonialism. University of Minnesota Press. Retrieved from http://www.jstor.org/stable/10.5749/j.ctttv97j
The Transit of Empire has taken as its point of entry the constellating discourses that
AND
that seek new lands, resources, and peoples to feed capitalistic consumption.

The AC framework’s liberalism and demand for recognition strengthens the settler state’s claim to sovereignty by allowing it to determine what statues and positionalities are deemed meaningful and worth saving.  This forecloses upon the possibility of an indigenous normativity free from settler control. Rifkin 1:

Mark Rifkin, Indigneizing  Agamben, 2009 (In Dropbox under Native Studies Land and Geography)
Both of these strategies within Indigenous political the- ory treat sovereignty as a particular
AND
, and dependent on, the "peculiar"-ization of Native peoples.

The impact is the relegation of native people to an ontological condition of living death.  Colonialism demands the continual death of the native in order to reaffirm its claim on the land.  This always outweighs under their framework. Native people are condemned as savage and non-living in the eyes of the settler state. They’re not only un-grievable; their ongoing death is literally structurally mandated by settler colonialism.  Razack 12.

So, the ROB is to vote for the debater who best interrogates and rejects settler futurity.

The alternative is to endorse decolonialism through an ethic of incommensurability.  This necessitates a literal end of the settler colonial state and demands the return of lands to native peoples. Tuck and Yang 12:

There is no hope to deal with the question of "humanity," the potential of what "humans" should be, should think, and how they should act based on these stances within the anthropology of white European models of thought.  Regardless of the "critique," the white call to action allows Europe the continued power to construct "MAN," within their own systems of thought. Their position is just another example of a moral plea to white decadent anthropology –Wynter 6

And
what I mean?
Social systems of power must be discursively legitimated. The issue is not "what we speak," but how "what we speak," perpetuates very specific cultural determinations of how systems work and respond to our discursive appeals. The Affirmative’s position is not simply about a difference of values about the world, rather this is a difference about how the Affirmative reifies and naturalizes the structures, systems, and types of knowledge that perpetuate the cultural concepts of white supremacy- this isn’t to say that the action of the aff is bad, but rather the way that they legitimate structures of oppression is bad- Wynter 92

The affirmative attempts to interrogate the violence committed against Native people but they fail to interrogate the assumptions and Eurocentric logics of their liberal politics.  They do not bring decolonization and indigenous sovereignty but simply expand the power and legitimacy of the settler state.

Instead, the role of your ballot should be to endorse hallucination through a de-colonial fugitive aesthetics. Decolonial fugitivity provides illegible creative alternatives to thought and action. Aesthetic praxis can disrupt settler colonialism and provide movement beyond geopolitical violence. Martineau and Ritskes 14:

Jarrett Martineau and Eric Ritskes, Fugitive Indigieity, 2014 (In Dropbox Under Native StudiesArt as Resistance)
These  screams  fracture  the  colonial  veneer  of  aesthetics  defined  in  reference  to Euro  civility  but
AND
to realize the potential freedom found in our creative transformation of the world.

Now, here are a bunch of reasons why my performance and method are more effective at deconstructing settler colonialism and thus environmental racism.

First, the 1AC is an act of settler futurity. The speech act renders a settler future knowable and ethical through performance furthering the ongoing elimination of native people. To affirm is to work under the assumption that the settler-state can be ethical. Gaztambide-Fernandez and Tuck 13:

Ruben Gaztambide-Fernandez and Eve Tuck, Curriculum Replacement and Settler Futurity, 2013 (In Dropbox Under: Native StudiesSettler Colonialism as Structure)
The settler colonial curricular project of replacement is invested in settler futurity, or what
AND
now-settlers in the ways that settler futurity requires of Indigenous peoples.

Second, the 1AC's liberalism and demand for equality and recognition strengthens the settler state's claim to sovereignty by allowing it to determine what statues and positionalities are deemed meaningful and worth saving.  This forecloses upon the possibility of an indigenous normativity free from settler control. Rifkin 09:

Mark Rifkin, Indigneizing  Agamben, 2009 (In Dropbox under Native Studies Land and Geography)
Both of these strategies within Indigenous political the- ory treat sovereignty as a particular
AND
, and dependent on, the "peculiar"-ization of Native peoples.

Third, my performance is an act of critical solidarity, a method of expression that produces new worlds.  Instead of simply demanding that Native people put up with current system or follow their plan text, we stand with them as allies willing to accept Native sovereignty. Gaztambide-Fernández 12:

~Rubén A., Ontario Institute for Studies in Education, University of Toronto, Canada~ "Decolonization and the pedagogy of solidarity"
Like Sandoval's differential consciousness, the pedagogy of solidarity "is linked to whatever is
AND
new possibilities and strengths" (Lorde, 1984, p. 39).

Fourth, their reliance on fiat as a political method is pretty terrible.  Their affirmation suggests that the settler-state will willingly stop committing violence against native folks.  We need to confront the structure of settler colonialism as a whole for any progress to occur. Passively calling politicians doesn't do anything. This is an indictment of their specific plan and their broader political method and performance.

Fifth, even if the state were to implement their plan, they would still be perpetuating colonialism. Reforms allow the state to appear progressive and humane, further justifying its expansion and existence.  It also undercuts systematic change, by distracting from the root causes, perfecting violence and evolving the means of social control, continuing the process that limits the scope of politics to liberal legalism.  Decolonial fugitive aesthetics, in contrast, refuses the state.

Sixth, calling for government action sustains structural violence by shutting down practices of critical organization and resistance. Turning to the state allows debaters to be bystanders, marking them as removed. This, further precludes radical alternatives by asserting the state's hegemonic authority. Liberal politics of recognition and reform are irreconcilable with resisting structural violence in debate.

Nuclear energy is key to effective water desalination.  All other methods are extremely expensive and inefficient and consequently insufficient to supply water to an increasingly dry world.  Solves water insecurity. Sciencedaily 11:
