1. Structural violence and oppression is based in moral exclusion, which is fundamentally flawed because exclusion is not based on dessert but rather on arbitrarily perceived differences.
Opotow 01 ~Susan Opotow 01 ~Susan Opotow is a social and organizational psychologist. Her work examines the intersection of conflict, justice, and identity as they give rise to moral exclusion — seeing others as outside the scope of justice and as eligible targets of discrimination, exploitation, hate, or violence. She studies moral exclusion and moral inclusion in such everyday contexts as schooling, environmental and public policy conflict, and in more violent contexts, such as deadly wars and the post-war period. She has guest edited The Journal of Social Issues and Social Justice Research and co-edited Identity and the Natural Environment: The Psychological Significance of Nature (MIT Press, 2003). She is associate editor of Peace and Conflict: Journal of Peace Psychology and Past President of the Society for the Psychological Study of Social Issues~, "Social Injustice", Peace, Conflict, and Violence: Peace Psychology for the 21st Centuryl Englewood Cliffs, New Jersey: Prentice-Hall, 2001, BE~ Both structural and direct violence result~s~ from moral justifications and rationalizations. AND oneself or one's group at the expense of others (Tajfel, 1982).
A. You're in a double bind- either 1. your framework cares about oppression which means that the case link turns it or 2. it doesn't care about oppression and that proves our exclusion offense
B. Prerequisite to other ethical theories- we need to be a part of ethical deliberation and ethics in order for it to matter
2. Causal processes predispose us to certain types of reasoning. Particular morality must deconstruct oppression and be historically informed– identity critique is no more radical than ideal political philosophy that essentializes groups
(a) Means that any realist view appealing to intrinsic goods are arbitrary and causal biases created from external forces instead of independent goods (b) Constitutivism fails because it asserts the standard of a good agent which beg the question of an independent normative standard to be optimal to. Practical reasoning isn't constitutive of agency because verifying the truth of practical reasoning requires fixation upon independent standards; but people either have reasons or they don't, there's no normative impact to being a desiring wanton that doesn't appeal to independent values. (c) Agency- external reasons can't exist because truths must be self evident AND relations (of. May, 1987, pp. 22-23).
3. No act-omission or intent-foresight distinction
A. The choice to omit constitutes an act in itself since when we intend an act we also must intend not to do anything else
B. Willing foreseen effects are necessary to actualize intent so we will the end as a whole.
C. Intent is unverifiable and reified by systems that claim to be good which makes ethics subjective because anyone can claim to have had good intent
D. Mental states like intention or motivation evaluate agents but have no bearing on action because intentions can be shaped by the character of an agent and can change what we perceive as the action
Thus, the standard is minimizing structural violence

This seeming paradox at the heart of speech restrictions proves the undecidability at the heart of our symbolic order—political correctness guarantees that offensiveness will appear in a worse form that is masked by benevolence--we must understand the power relations at the heart of language Zizek 99 Slavoj Zizek.

The academic focus of traditional economists prevents them from seeing reality and forces them to contribute to the production of belief in a neoliberal utopia- Reject their economics based stats, they will always be skewed cause of the system BOURDIEU 98 Pierre Bourdieu, French sociologist. “The essence of neoliberalism” December 1998. http://mondediplo.com/1998/12/08bourdieu.

2. Non ideal theory good Mills 05 Charles W. Mills, “Ideal Theory” as Ideology, 2005 I suggest that this spontaneous reaction, far from being philosophically naïve or jejune AND that the ideal-as-idealized-model will never be achieved.
3. Moral uncertainty means we default to preventing extinction under any ethical framework. BOSTROM 11 (2011) Nick Bostrom, Future of Humanity Institute, Oxford Martin School and Faculty of Philosophy These reflections on moral uncertainty suggests an alternative, complementary way of AND of value. To do this, we must prevent any existential catastrophe.
4. No intent foresight or act omission distinction:
The choice to omit constitutes an act in itself since when we intend an act we also must intend not to do anything else 2. Willing foreseen effects are necessary to will the end as a whole, AND - Government action has to be held accountable for populations, omissions are illegitimate
