Interpretation – the aff may not defend that the appropriation of outer space by a certain set of private entities is unjust. Entities is a generic bare plural Nebel 20 Jake Nebel is an assistant professor of philosophy at the University of Southern California and executive director of Victory Briefs. He writes a lot of this stuff lol – duh. “Indefinite Singular Generics in Debate” Victory Briefs, 19 August 2020. no url AG I agree that if “a democracy” in the resolution just meant “one or more democracy,” then a country-specific affirmative could be topical. But, as I will explain in this topic analysis, that isn’t what “a democracy” means in the resolution. To see why, we first need to back up a bit and review (or learn) the idea of generic generalizations. It applies to this topic – a entities is an existential bare plural bc it has no determiner b The sentence “The appropriation of outer space by private entities is unjust” does not imply “the appropriation of outer space by private and public entities is unjust” Violation – they spec x private entities. Standards 1 Limits – they can spec infinite different entities like 2 TVA solves – just read your aff as an advantage to a whole rez aff. PICs aren’t aff offense – a it’s ridiculous to b There’s only a small number of pics c PICs incentivize better affs

Tournament: x | Round: 1 | Opponent: x | Judge: x The 1ACs opposition to the excesses of modernity through the refusal of academic modes positions the aff as a critical savoir of the negligent other in whose name they speak. This is the professionalism of the academy par excellence, where negligence is appropriated and weaponized in favor of an auto-encylopedic mode of recognizing the litany of abuses – this is the worst form of counter insurgency and the most subtle and damning mode of incorporation and turns the aff. The Undercommons: Fugitive Planning and Black Study, Stefano Harney and Fred Moten Released by Minor Compositions 2013 Wivenhoe / New York / Port Watson Pg 30-34 Their investment into philosophical discussion about our relationship towards otherness is a tool of speed-elitism. The move for more transparent discussions about ethics mystifies the reliance on highly exlcusive and unethical technologies of travel and communication. By figuring those technics as the metrics for liberatory theology, that expands Debate’s state of exploitation. Hoofd 10(Ingrid M.

The aff’s insidious attempts to replace welfare with wage labor reinforces the idealization and social control of “work ethic”. Myths of work allow governments to blame systemic poverty on the behavior of the poor. Valorization of work and notions that you can resist via unionization deflates proletariat unity by turning workers against non-workers. Frayne 15 Frayne, David.
