Tournament: Loyola | Round: 5 | Opponent: Southlake Carrol EP | Judge: Julian Kuffour
Settler colonialism is the permeating structure of the nation-state which requires the elimination of indigenous life and land via the occupation of settlers. The appropriation of land turns Natives into ghosts and chattel slaves into excess labor.

Our intention in this descriptive exercise is not be exhaustive, or even inarguable;
AND
p. 36). Settler colonialism and its decolonization implicates and unsettles everyone.
The case is NOT offense – their scenarios for “extinction” are metaphorical invocations that sustain settler futurity – only the alternative can prevent them and other ongoing extinctions

Extinction is not a metaphor… Extinction has become an emblem of Western, and
AND
relations, worlds and peoples that are targeted by these discourses and practices.
This requires you adopt an ethic of incommensurability in making comparisons and evaluating argumentative burdens

Conclusion An ethic of incommensurability, which guides moves that unsettle innocence, stands in
AND
one. Decolonization is not an “and”. It is an elsewhere.
FW: Eval the 1AC as a scholarly artifact – the affirmative should have to defend their epistemic orientation prior to evaluating a risk of fiated solvency.
a. Anti-Naitve Education DA Fiat is illusory and voting for them doesn’t do anything – but voting negative can reshape the scholastic practices within this activity – that outweighs because repeated practices presented in speech activities give way to parasitic spaces only challenging the underlying epistemology that shapes that is able to disrupt those settler psyches and mitigate the violence in an anti-settler activity. That Comes first: A 1 chance that debate does shape subject formation outweighs a risk that it doesn’t – because its not worth risking genocide. B Accessibility structures procedural fairness - if we win a link argument it proves why the space that they forward is not only violent but also inaccessible for native folx.

Signifyin’ on institutional symbols of American democracy, Jones’ draws attention to the parallels in
AND
in an activity and environment hostile to those debate bodies marked by difference.
B. Isopolitics DA – Fiat is a form of colonial roleplaying whereby debaters can play the colonizer pretending to legislate on this land which all necessarily presumes an ethicality behind land ownershop and western law. Negation of this authority destabilizes this organizing logic of settler Political selfhood which is an independent reason you should vote negative. This means that we have impact turned their end point of their education offense because rather the constructing advocates who push towards a decolonial ethics, the skills they create, cultivate settlers who think they are more creative without giving out the land.
C. our interp is fair predictable and reciprocal – the affirmative has had infinite prep time and chose how to construct the 1AC – their investments into certain rhetorical and epistemic choices like disease, extinction, liberalistic, fiat and death representations are all things integral to 1AC construction that they should be able to defend why they did what they did.
