The state exists with necessitation of rejecting deviancy from the ideal Man. The 1ac’s understanding of the political is grounded in this fantastical idea of incorporation, where the question is always who possesses enough personhood to constitute the public. Their reform is uniquely violent—even so-called successful movements broaden the scope of Western Man by necessitating a new group to join its oppressive regime. Rights-based progress is not possible—the very structure of western jurisprudence prevents incremental change by constantly finding new voices to exclude and otherizes those voices by saying they “need” more rights. Thus, the role of the ballot is to deconstruct the Western Man.

movements to abolish the grounds upon which all forms of subjugation are administered.
Power operates not by exclusion but by incorporation and capture – this is a machine known as faciality: a mode of coding which includes all bodies into spheres of recognition but in wholly differential ways – the 1AC conceives of power as a scale between inclusion and non-inclusion – you should instead understand it as a circle with an idealized face at the center and deviant faces along its circumference. Your staticized ubjecthood cannot account for the infinite proliferation of identities within this machine which guarantees domination

We embrace Habeas Viscus. Instead of relying on narrow, rights based legal solutions, the alternative plays with the law by exploring the power of liminal spaces. We are new freedom, a fresh start, an understanding of the state as something that isn’t necessary and defining. The state will never release itself from Western Man, so why do we stay reliant on it?
