Takes out util calc indicts since they're empirically denied and link turns them because the alt would be no action.4) Frameworks must be theoretically legit because they assume a definition of "ought"— it means util which means it's jurisdictional and a topicality question. a) Topic Lit: most articles about the topic are written through util – means other frameworks can never engage with core questions of the lit and decks predictability. b) Ground: other fw excluded certain impacts, kills ground no way to engage util includes all impacts.

JF - New EdenTournament: Southlake | Round: 2 | Opponent: Coppell HA | Judge: Hatfield, Wyatt Part One: The Final FrontierExisting protocols related to space approach it from the standpoint of a defined limit to the Earth and "Outer Space." This enables the space outside the atmosphere to be regarded as somehow separate from relations and operations on Earth. In reality, Earth is imbedded in the solar system and focusing on "Outer Space" only reveals the simplicity of our understanding of the Anthropocene, enabling visions of the future that dehumanize each of us. Enables space to be cast the same as the previous imperial projects before it, enacting genocides, colonialism and climate change.Klinger 2019 ~Julie, Frederick S. Pardee School of Global Studies, Boston University~ "Environmental Geopolitics and Outer Space," Geopolitics https://www.bu.edu/pardeeschool/files/2019/03/Environmental-Geopolitics-and-Outer-Space.pdfEM To focus narrowly on the capitalist visions of NewSpace is to impoverish true scholarship on the question of the biopolitics of capitalist accumulation in space. NewSpace sells a narrative of human intelligence and creativity spreading to the cosmos and this animates their endeavor as much as accumulation.Valentine 2012 ~David, Ethnographic Studies, U Minesota~ "Exit Strategy: Profit, Cosmology, and the Future of Humans in Space," Anthropological Quarterly, Volume 85, Number 4, https://muse.jhu.edu/article/488890/pdf?casa_token=MPfrK_XROVwAAAAA:lqD3T3mIH2wIij2leobIdufjPe41V2XHVGFQK4FrsuTfaAMYNe_1pAiSelitKR6kD0UAxxM/EM Casting of "Outer Space" as the geopolitical extension of human biopolitics from earth to "new environments" like space creates a totalizing vision of human progress that survives on a separation between human and environment, space and Earth. Narratives of extinction and survival only play into this problem and replicate it, locking us into static and myopic views of futures. Our future will simply be dominated by the present. We focus on existential threats in space rather than how space nourishes life on the planet every day. Creates a cartography of space that replicates Earthly biopolitics. Feeds into the loop of war and colonization perverting the so-called "Final Frontier" in the search for a new Eden.Klinger 2019 ~Julie, Frederick S. Pardee School of Global Studies, Boston University~ "Environmental Geopolitics and Outer Space," Geopolitics https://www.bu.edu/pardeeschool/files/2019/03/Environmental-Geopolitics-and-Outer-Space.pdfEM Part 2: Common Heritage of DeathThe concept of space as a "global commons" or "common heritage" of humanity underwrites the destruction of natural habitats as they are preserved only for "heritage" potential. Because they are subject to the state of exclusion, private entities cannot claim space but they can take as much as they want. Central to question of the unjust nature of private appropriation. Ignores inequity. Takes existence of commons as an ontological given instead of a construction.Beery 2016 ~Jason, Geography, School of Environment and Development, University of Manchester~ "Unearthing global natures: Outer space and scalar politics," Political Geography https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0962629816300130~~#!/EM "Global Commons" replicates a biopolitics of war that instrumentalizes space as a resources defining what it is to be human in terms of the primitive notions of accumulation and colonization, engaging a perpetual state of war that spreads through the cosmos underwritten by our commitment to "utility" Devalues life itself. Thus the ROB is to becomes a negotiation of knowledge, a deciding of axes and boundaries. Evaluate our aff by its ability to reorient political perception and action.Craven 2019 ~Matt, Professor of International Law, SOAS University of London~ "'Other Spaces': Constructing the Legal Architecture of a Cold War Commons and the Scientific-Technical Imaginary of Outer Space," European Journal of International Law Vol. 30 no. 2 Space also requires extensive ground-based injustices. Each launch platform is a place where indigenous populations must be made invisible. Those spaces mean everything to them biopolitically while in order to utilize them they are converted into a theoretical terra to be securitized for unjust private appropriation of spaceKlinger 2019 ~Julie, Frederick S. Pardee School of Global Studies, Boston University~ "Environmental Geopolitics and Outer Space," Geopolitics https://www.bu.edu/pardeeschool/files/2019/03/Environmental-Geopolitics-and-Outer-Space.pdfEM I therefore stand resolved: The private appropriation of "Outer Space" is unjust through the analysis critical geopolitics.Part 3: "Space Ship Earth"A critical geopolitics that recognizes Earth's connectedness to the space environment is essential to recognize the biopolitical imperatives of real people and the ways those interactions and narratives inform the creating of systems of power that reproduce social relations in ways that uphold militarism, genocide and the ongoing exclusion of voices of dissent. By challenging existing notions of the expropriation of space we will not need to leave the rock in constant existential crisis. Creates a new ontology of space that ignores static definitions of human as accumulator and as contamination. Allows flexible space identity and justice. Discourse key to human survival.Klinger 2019 ~Julie, Frederick S.

ND - Unqualified v1Tournament: Hebron | Round: 1 | Opponent: Grapev FC | Judge: Smith, Hannah Part One: Guilt by AssociationThere are two versions of the right to strike, a qualified version, which makes it a right of association and thus subject to regulation and an unqualified version, which sees the right to strike as right of self-determination against oppression. Analyzing RTS as a freedom association claim inevitably leads to regulation and ultimately mutes the power of labor to negotiate. Strikes become the only means, but their effectiveness is so limited by constitutional regulation that striking become a The Stooges episode: pointless and violent. There is no point because you have a right to organize and even strike, but you have no right to stop scabs or closing shop. Qualified RTS forbids actions outside bargaining agreements like boycotts and general strikes but permits the state to crack down violently.Gourevitch 2016 ~Alex, Pf.

RTS is an instrumental right to refuse oppression. Allows workers to find their only true pathway to self-determination. But to protect self-determination they must be meaningful. Toothless strikes never protects workers and only gives an illusion of rights. RTS must be un-constrained and must allow mass strikes, protests and general strikes. Unqualified RTS undermines state's justification for violent suppression. Any qualification of RTS allows the state to crack down violently.Gourevitch 2018 ~Alex, Pf.

The biopolitical nature of the workplace guarantees power is distorted permitting a culture of impunity in workplaces that reinforces structural domination in ways that cannot be rectified by social policy that cycles into serial failure. This entails de-humanization like forcing workers to wear diapers instead of bathroom breaks, sexual discrimination, bullying and subhuman conditions produced by a worker's inability to strike effectively. Separates power from body and rests it in sovereignty of the workplace.Gourevitch 2016 ~Alex, Pf.

Contractarian analysis forces workers into involuntary servitude to the market. Unqualified strikes solve better than courts, legislation.

The biopolitical nature of the workplace guarantees power is distorted permitting a culture of impunity in workplaces that reinforces structural domination in ways that cannot be rectified by social policy that cycles into serial failure. This entails de-humanization like forcing workers to wear diapers instead of bathroom breaks, sexual discrimination, bullying and subhuman conditions produced by a worker's inability to strike effectively. Separates power from body and rests it in sovereignty of the workplace.Gourevitch 2016 ~Alex, Pf.

Evaluate our aff by its ability to reorient political perception and action.The structures of knowledge come first they are the groundwork for any truth claim to be evaluated, you must prioritize the aff ability to change in both the in the debate space and post fait. We insert analysis of biopolitical structures and they way they shape dominate thought into this space as a act of rupturing dominate thought within debate, that spills up.Contention 3: SolvencyUn-qualified RTS addresses the questions of biopolitical control of the workplace, mass action and structural oppression of workers. Contractarian analysis forces workers into involuntary servitude to the market. Unqualified strikes solve better than courts, legislation. Unqualified RTS demonstrates the genealogy of power and exposes domination better than theories of structural change. Unlocks true collective social action. Solves for the Three Stooges.
