Part 1: Case

====The liberal Humanist discourse of the settler colonial state will always undermine the interests and the demands of the natives for their land. We constantly see the use of rhetoric in discussions of nuclear power framed around protecting the settler and to keep them from feeling guilty. This discussion would merely manifest around the colonizer and the colonized systems of exploitation that reproduces the grand structure of settler colonialism. ====

Meet Charley Colorado, a man part of the Navajo nation who lived in his ancestral sheepherding grounds where the United States had uranium mine shafts in 1957. Today these mines poison their people and destroy their sacred land.

====The pacific islands and southwestern regions of the United States are plagued by nuclear colonialism- the ways in which we talk about nuclear power and testing cause dramatic harms.====

From nuclear testing, uranium mining, and dumping waste has all accrued at the expense of Indigenous lives and their land.

Part 2 is the ROB

The ROB is to vote for the debater that best deconstructs settler colonialism. I advocate the judge to adopt an alternative framework through red pedagogy. Decolonization is a movement that is a constant process to challenge entrenched thoughts and modes of thinking.

Part 3 is theory

Procedural arguments like T and theory are just another tool to maintain settler colonialism and whiteness in debate and this is a reverse voting issue – their reading of procedurals replicates the disciplinary power of the state over native populations. The negative will constantly change the goal posts of what is considered "acceptable" to benefit their privileged stance in debate, this is no different than the history of broken treaties eads that have been staples of whiteness. Their interpretation of debate is an attempt to erase Indigeneity to create another space of exception which is key to maintain the sovereignty of settlerism

Settler colonialism is the impetus and structure that produces indigenous, racial violence, and neoliberalism. White settler alienation from land and maintenance of excess on land that sets the impetus for neoliberal domination- any alternative that endorses unclear power or the state will always reproduce indigenous violence
