Tournament: All | Round: 9 | Opponent: x | Judge: x
There are obviously many more things the AFF could do that may be abusive, but this often depends on context. I haven’t hit the whole gamut of abusive AFF arguments. I will add interps as I break them. The interps below are norms I am 100 percent committed to when I negate and strongly encourage you to commit to as well because I think they lead to better debates regardless of context. I frequently discuss theory and update my files, so my views may change as the year progresses and I reserve the right to add or subtract to this list. 

Theory interps I think aff’s should comply with:

1. Spikes must be Bi-directional (like RVIs, drop debater)
   2. Normative ethic required
   3. ROTB spec
   4. Spikes need to be fully fleshed out (voter, violations, paradigm issues)
   5. Not reading stupid spikes like neg may only have one unconditional route to the ballot
   6. Skep triggers bad
   7. NIBs bad
   8. Descriptive frameworks (like polls) bad
   9. Flash, email chain, print, or lose
   10. Disclose at least first 3 last 3, tags, and advocacy text(s) in a clear and easy to follow manner within 1 hour post debate
   1. Must disclose plan-text at least 24 hours before the round.
      12. The affirmative must specify what constitutionally protected speech they defend in an explicit advocacy text in 1AC.
      13. Hidden A prioris bad

The Neg asks us to simply trust narratives. Such moves discount evidence and reduce epistemology to the value we are demanded to place in our sympathies with the authority of the person. When “performing evidence” substitutes for evidence, the appearance of legitimacy dooms the pursuit of knowledge and propagates decadence. I’m not saying that the narrative is false but I’m indicting their epistemological viewpoint.

The starting point of the 1AC is wrong, it is based on the exclusion vs inclusion argument, it takes oppressed identity and grades it against the dominant model.

Part 1 is links

1. The affirmative’s assumption that speech can ever be free ignores economic realities that shape such freedoms in the academic world. It also commodities speech. This turns and outweighs the case- their scholarship can never be liberatory in a capitalist world.

Part 2 is Impacts
 The K outweighs the case - cap causes extinction and massive social inequalities – the aff’s single issue legalistic solution is the exact kind of politics cap wants us to engage in so the root cause to go unquestioned. It is try or die to move away from systems of capital before it is too late.
