1 - K - ColorblindnessTournament: St Marx | Round: 2 | Opponent: Dulles VN | Judge: Jonathan Hsu Academic philosophy is anti-Black – the 1AC's abstraction from the material consequences of racialized violence absolves white philosophers of their contributions to America's apathy towards Black death – their race-neutral rhetoric and assertion of universal humanistic principles reduces systemic racism to a problem of recognition that prevents effective mobilization against white supremacy – vote negative to reject the Western metaphysical tradition and recognize the permanent failure of white philosophy.Tommy J. Curry and Curry 18 ~Tommy, PhD, Prof. of Philosophy @ TAMU, Gwenetta, PhD, Ass. Prof. of Gender and Race Studies @ Alabama~, "On the Perils of Race Neutrality and Anti-Blackness: Philosophy as an Irreconcilable Obstacle to (Black) Thought," American Journal of Economics and Sociology, Vol. 77, Nos. 3-4 (May-September 2018). DOI: 10.1111/ajes.12244 Even if they win that their colorblindness is theoretically ideal, it is practically impossible because racialized bodies are marked by their skin color – the psychological construction of Black as inferior makes their impacts inevitable – philosophy's segregation of black scholarship is not neutral and not normal.Tommy J. Curry and Curry 18 ~Tommy, PhD, Prof. of Philosophy @ TAMU, Gwenetta, PhD, Ass. Prof. of Gender and Race Studies @ Alabama~, "On the Perils of Race Neutrality and Anti-Blackness: Philosophy as an Irreconcilable Obstacle to (Black) Thought," American Journal of Economics and Sociology, Vol. 77, Nos. 3-4 (May-September 2018). DOI: 10.1111/ajes.12244 Racism deems Black life disposable and demands racialized violence – we're not an ad-hom that criticizes the positionality or personal views of their authors – their philosophy is actively used as an expression of white supremacy and to rationalize the deaths of Black men and women.Tommy J. Curry and Curry 18 ~Tommy, PhD, Prof. of Philosophy @ TAMU, Gwenetta, PhD, Ass. Prof. of Gender and Race Studies @ Alabama~, "On the Perils of Race Neutrality and Anti-Blackness: Philosophy as an Irreconcilable Obstacle to (Black) Thought," American Journal of Economics and Sociology, Vol. 77, Nos. 3-4 (May-September 2018). DOI: 10.1111/ajes.12244 This turns the aff – America is organized around the subjugation and death of non-white people – discriminatory applications of their policy are inevitable absent a recognition of racialization in the law – their colorblindness is mutually exclusive with the necessary upheaval of the racial dynamics that necessitate inequality.Tommy J. and Gwenetta Curry and Curry 18 ~Tommy, PhD, Prof. of Philosophy @ TAMU, Gwenetta, PhD, Ass. Prof. of Gender and Race Studies @ Alabama~, "On the Perils of Race Neutrality and Anti-Blackness: Philosophy as an Irreconcilable Obstacle to (Black) Thought," American Journal of Economics and Sociology, Vol. 77, Nos. 3-4 (May-September 2018). DOI: 10.1111/ajes.12244 Instead you should affirm Black philosophy as a site to engage in radical theorizations that are a genuine reflection of Black experience – attempts at integration commodifies Black philosophers as extensions of white thinkers which waters down Black philosophy to a form for white philosophers to deem respectable scholarship – a fundamental reorientation of the discipline away from universal reason is key.Tommy J.

1 - K - RhetoricTournament: St Marx | Round: Doubles | Opponent: Little Rock MG | Judge: Panel Their Mao and Young evidence deploys "rhetoric" as an empty signifier- Asian rhetoric becomes interchangeable with Asian discourse. While the aff gains nothing from its invocation of "rhetoric", the globalization of rhetoric to apply to any and all subject matter collapses rhetoric's specificity and disciplinary usefulness. Vote neg to endorse the aff without the appeal to an Asian rhetoric.Gaonkar, 93 — Northwestern University rhetoric and public culture professor; Center for Global Culture and Communication director Globalizing "rhetoric" to sub-disciplines destroys rhetorical criticism- if everything is rhetorical, rhetoric is too shallow to carry meaning. This takes out solvency- "big rhetoric" cannot command sustained attention. The link is proven in this round – they apply rhetoric to "resist injustice", "interrogate disciplinary spaces", and "destabilize power".Schiappa, 1 – University of Minnesota rhetoric professor Rhetoric must retain its specificity- "small rhetoric" is vital to check the monopolization of power by demagogues which turns their offense about xenophobia and orientalism.Bryant, 65 — University of Iowa rhetoric professor Their invocation of rhetoric in the Mao and Young evidence turns the case-A. Tradeoff- if rhetoric can be globalized to supplement every discourse that means rhetoric is the foundational knowledge which must be studied, not the aff's special discourse of rejecting orientalist tropes. An aff ballot becomes a win only for rhetoric- it makes rhetoric the star instead of the meaningful components of the affB. Knowledge production- the discourse and lexicon of rhetoric undermines knowledge production- it's a distraction from the specificity of their object of study.INSTEAD- implicitly acknowledging the role of rhetoric without invoking its name solves all of the aff- even the rhetoric good argumentsGaonkar, 90 — Northwestern University rhetoric and public culture professor; Center for Global Culture and Communication director | 10/20/21 |
1 - Theory - New Affs BadTournament: Cal Berkeley | Round: 4 | Opponent: Mission San Jose SS | Judge: Danielle Dosch Interp: The affirmative must disclose the plan text if they break new when pairings are released if the debate is flight oneViolation: They didn't Predictability – having no idea what the debate will be about makes being neg impossible – the aff gets plan text choice and infinite prep to craft the most strategic case. No disclosure makes this impossible to overcome b/c it means the neg only gets 4 mins of prep to answer a strategy that the AFF had 2 months to prep esp on a topic with dozens of actors and infinite mechanisms – Fairness must be intrinsic to debate because otherwise no one would participateClash – predictability controls the internal link to clash because it determines how the neg engages – k2 substantive engagement and advocacy skillsCore topic education – plan text disclosure discourages cheap shot aff's. If the aff isn't inherent or easily defeated by 20 minutes of research, the case should lose. In their model bad AFF's can win on purely surprise factor which creates a race to the margins of the topic – kills topic education which outweighs because it's the only impact unique to LDCompeting interps since reasonability invites arbitrary judge intervention based on preference rather than argumentation and encourages a race to the bottom in which debaters exploit a judge's tolerance for questionable argumentation.No RVIs: Causes substance crowdout, illogical because fairness is an aff burden, and causes intentionally cheaty affs to bait theory | 2/20/22 |

"Resolved". 1964. Here is a list of the member nations of the WTO – aff is not thatWTO 7/29/16 ~World Trade Organization, "Updated Member List"~ ~DS~ Reduce diminish ==== ====Intellectual property protections includes trade secrets==== Violation – ~insert~TVA- TVA: COVID AFF that discusses how IP waivers haven't been instated due to techno-Orientalism solves 100 of the case – you can still include performance and the criticism. Disads to the TVA prove neg ground and no right to a perfect 1ac Vote Neg – The resolution is the only common stasis point that anchors negative preparation. Allowing any aff deviation from the resolution is a moral hazard which justifies an infinite number of unpredictable arguments with thin ties to the resolution. Because debate is a competitive game, their interpretation incentivizes affirmatives to run further towards fringes and revert to truisms which are exceedingly difficult to negate—this asymmetry is compounded by their monopoly on preparationThat outweighs – The competitive incentive from debate creates pressures for research and focused clash which generates important skills and makes debate a training ground for future work. The impactSuccessful movement organizing is analogous to mainstream politics – it requires skilled organization, negotiating relationships, strategic leadership, and proto-institutionalism – sacrificing debate as training ensures we never translate opinion into political power, but requiring the aff defend contestable positions linearly increases debate's capacity for movement advocacy as they get more predictableHan and Barnett-Loro 18 ~Hahrie Han, Department of Political Science, University of California, Santa Barbara. Carina Barnett-Loro, Climate Advocacy Lab, San Francisco. To Support a Stronger Climate Movement, Focus Research on Building Collective Power. December 19, 2018. https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fcomm.2018.00055/full~~ Its better for their aff – honing our skills as Asian American debaters by rigorously testing our ideas is the only way to disperse Asian rhetoric into the worldDebate doesn't have any effect on the political and the individual arguments we read have no effect on our subjectivity, even if they spur immediate reflection, those insights aren't integrated into deep-stored memory—this means you can vote negative on presumption. Encouraging focused, nuanced research and clash is the only chance to change attitudes long term—which means they can't solve their impact turns but our model can.filter their impacts through predictable testability —-debate inherently judges relative truth value by whether or not it gets answered—-a combination of a less predictable case neg, the burden of rejoinder, and them starting a speech ahead will always inflate the value of their impacts, which makes non-arbitrarily weighing whether they should have read the 1ac in the first place impossible within the structure of a debate round so even if we lose framework, vote neg on presumption. They also create a moral hazard that leads to affs only about individual self-care so even if you think this aff is answerable, the ones they incentivize are not, so assume the worst possible affirmative when weighing our impacts.State bad isn't offense against topicality bc they don't have to defend it AND you can criticize the state bc you defend a change from the squoDrop the debater – the round shouldn't have happened in the first placeNo RVIs – this includes impact turns and independent voting issues – | 10/20/21 |
