1 - K - Black Radical Kantianism v2Tournament: 2 - Heart of Texas | Round: 4 | Opponent: Dulles VN | Judge: Aisha Bawany Kantian deontology assigns moral worth based on the capacity to self-legislate which ignores the historical denigration of Black folk to "less-than-human" or incapable of self-government—-a historical legacy that hasn't simply gone away but rather manifests itself through residual asymmetries in opportunities to act freely. In response, vote neg to endorse a black radical Kantianism that universalizes the categorical imperative.Mills 18 Charles W., Mills is Distinguished Professor of Philosophy at The Graduate Center, City University of New York, in New York City, "Black Radical Kantianism," Res Philosophica, Vol. 95, No. 1, January 2018, pp. 1–33 https://doi.org/10.11612/resphil.1622 Racial exclusion spills up from psychic to material extermination—weigh it as if it were extinction.Preston, 17—Cass School of Education and Communities, University of East London (John, "Rethinking Existential Threats and Education," Competence Based Education and Training (CBET) and the End of Human Learning pp 61-93, dml) | 10/17/21 |

1 - K - ValenciaTournament: 1 - Loyola | Round: 3 | Opponent: Oxford VM | Judge: Julian Kuffour Cultural differences and the advancements of gore capitalism make ethical judgements about developing countries impossible, because they are perceived as the Barbaric Other. Any attempt to impose our ethics and "fix" their problems will inevitably fail and perpetuate a violent, imperialist Us-Them dichotomy between the West and the Other. The alt is to contextualize ethical judgements to each culture and break from the delusion that we live in a history of our own making; instead adopting a new interpretation of ethics contextual to each history.Valencia, 2010, Professor of cultural studies. Their model of debate is a spectator sport that is affectively satisfying but fails to contribute to political power building. It looks like politics. It feels like politics. It's not—-the ROB and ROJ is to interrogate the political orientation of the 1AC.Eitan Hersh (et. al 20), associate professor of American Politics at Tufts University, PhD from Harvard. Hersh writes of himself: My book, Hacking the Electorate, was published by Cambridge in 2015. My peer-reviewed articles have been published in venues such as the American Political Science Review, American Journal of Political Science, Journal of Politics, and Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.

1 - P - Plan FlawTournament: 1 - Loyola | Round: 3 | Opponent: Oxford VM | Judge: Julian Kuffour The plan says "a TRIPS waiver for the U.S." that means the waiver is not for "COVID-19 vaccines and treatments" as specified in Lindsey but waives patents on the United States, the United stateS is a nation and thus has not been patented so the plan is unenforceable.It also says "the COVID-19 vaccine" which could apply equally to any number of other vaccines like sinovax and which is legally unenforceable because of its vagueness, a corrected plan would read "The United States of America ought to reduce intellectual property protections for patents on SARS-CoV-2 vaccines"Vote neg on presumption— you should encourage grammatically correct plan writing, its key to clarity and makes us better advocates, this isn't a twitter thread: they should have to proof read their 1ac. | 10/6/21 |
1 - T - FWTournament: 1 - Loyola | Round: 6 | Opponent: Sammamish LW | Judge: Brixz Gonzaba Interp: Aff's must defend the hypothetical implementation of a topical plan.Ericson 3 (Jon M., Dean Emeritus of the College of Liberal Arts – California Polytechnic U., et al., The Debater's Guide, Third Edition, p. 4) Resolved is legal.Words and Phrases 64 Permanent Edition The WTO governs trade, and the member nations are governmental bodies that abide by its rules.WTO, N.D. ~World Trade Organization, "What is the WTO?," https://www.wto.org/english/thewto_e/whatis_e/whatis_e.htm~~JMK** Ought implies legal actionLegalDictionary, N.D. https://legaldictionary.lawin.org/ought/** Only the WTO has jurisdiction over multilateral IP rules.WTO, N.D. ~World Trade Organization, "Intellectual property: protection and enforcement," https://www.wto.org/english/thewto_e/whatis_e/tif_e/agrm7_e.htm~~JMK** Vote neg—-they don't meet.Some exclusions and limitations on content are inevitable, but both teams agree it matters which ones—repeatedly debating topics which bear a family resemblance builds sophistication, accumulates and synthesizes research into expertise, and facilitates third and fourth level testing—-that's the only thing debate can do which means we need to use this forum to maximize it. The alternative is knee-jerk, reductive, and polarizing arguments which cause painful, shallow debates and risk homogenization or mischaracterization by people who haven't researched their scholarship.The impact is clash—-absent textual constraints based on the text of the resolution, there's no brightline for a limited topic—-that greenlights infinite affirmatives with various unpredictable mechanisms that we can't adequately prepare for. It also incentivizes shifty, underdeveloped advocacy and aff conditionality because teams race to the margins to find positions that strategically avoid engagement.Even if their aff is good to debate or research, it gets crowded out because we're too busy preparing for other teams that capitalize on the competitive incentive to read arguments that obviate the role of the negative by taking non-controversial or otherwise irrefutable positions that present moral hazards to negate.Next, framing issues:1. Unpredictability turns their offense because teams read knee-jerk non-responsive and possibly violent positions when they can't prepare specific strategies2. They need a debate key warrant to access their offense—-absent one it's try or die for our impacts.3. Interps are yes/no and topic ties link to models offense.4. The form of debate is inevitable – speech times, answering arguments, etc. Means the only relevant question is content.5. They can't resolve larger violent structures – the PRL exists and they can't dissolve it – fiat links to their offense and if they don't fiat anything vote on presumption.6. Absent textual counter-interps they auto-lose because the judge only has the jurisdiction to affirm or negate the resolution on their ballot.7. Debate is a game proven by speaker points and ballots which makes procedural fairness apriori – they broke the rules so they auto-lose.8. Presumption – they don't cause a departure from the status quo and there's no warrant the ballot is key to resolve their research/reorientation offense.9. Switching sides is good and decreases dogma—-they should read their critique on the neg, solves all their offense10. TVA—-WTO should remove all IP protections on hormones—-solves all of their offense, and switch side solves the mechanism of copyleft. | 10/6/21 |

1 - T - ReduceTournament: 2 - Heart of Texas | Round: 5 | Opponent: Southlake Carroll EP | Judge: Collin Smith Interpretation - reduce means diminishMerriam Webster ~Encyclopedia Britannica, "Reduce"~ ~DS~ Violation – they haven't mandated a reduction of IP protections, just delayed enforcement.Vote negative for limits and ground:1 – They explode limits to various unpredictable mechanisms – foregoing the direction of reducing incentivizes aff bidirectionality which doubles the prep burden and makes case debate shallow or flat out impossible.2 – Ground – their aff is uniquely bad – it is literally a delay counterplan – decks key neg ground like politics and innovation disads by not doing anything – at best, it's extra t which still linksCompeting interpretations is best:1 – They're inevitable – they will defend a counterinterp and compare it to mine which means a strict offense/defense paradigm is most logical.2 – Reasonability incentivizes judge intervention and arbitrariness because there's no brightline3 – Race to inclusion – every aff can contrive a reason they're theoretically "reasonable" which links to all of my offense and explodes limits furtherNo RVIs:1 – Deterrence and norming are empirically wrong2 – You shouldn't win for being fair – it rewards doing literally nothing for a ballot – decks clash3 – Encourages baiting – people will just read non-t affs and go all in on an RVI – independently means T outweighs. | 10/17/21 |
