The AC is a denial of death. While attempting to provide proof that extinction is inevitable, they fail to see the underlying assumption of the aff. Voting aff does nothing to change nuclear policy; if their impacts are true, the end of humanity is now hurling at us and we stand powerless to stop it. Their hypothetical method of saving the world is a plea for help in the face of an inevitable death. But that suppression of fear just guarantees lashout to preserve our fragile fantasies in the form of genocide and xenophobia. Ligotti 12:

I defend Noname's performance of living forever in a day. Two advantages:

First, it is key to situate specific political viewpoints within the apocalyptic narrative. Their totalizing apocalyptic rhetoric creates a post-political epistemology in which internal struggle and fluidity is impossible. Collard 13:

Second, this is the only metaphysically sound response to death. The present is a psychological construct and life is forever. Lanza 10:
