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 move for more transparent discussions about ethics mystifies the reliance on highly exlcusive and unethical technologies of travel and communication.

Tournament: 0 | Round: 1 | Opponent: 0 | Judge: 0 OS v. IMMAC HEART
The affirmative offers a solution: implement a restriction on Chinese private entities to secure hegemony. This is the wrong approach—we exist within a “control society,” where power is exercised not through repression, but continuous control-- frame this round as an interrogation of productivity and desire. Deleuze 92Gilles Deleuze was a French philosopher who, from the early 1950s until his death in 1995, wrote on philosophy, literature, film, and fine art. His most popular works were the two volumes of Capitalism and Schizophrenia: Anti-Oedipus and A Thousand Plateaus, both co-written with psychoanalyst Félix Guattari, Postscript on the Societies of Control on JSTOR, Winter 1992,The MIT press,https://www.jstor.org/stable/778828?seq=1, 12-11-2021 amrita
Distinctions between the private and public sphere do not exist-- the affirmative’s theorization of such is the latest tactic of control society to modulate the enunciation of behavior and subjectivity through fascist mechanisms. Hardt 98 Michael Hardt is an American political philosopher and literary theorist. Hardt is best known for his book Empire, which was co-written with Antonio Negri. It has been praised by Slavoj Žižek as the "Communist Manifesto of the 21st Century". He is currently a professor of literature at Duke University, The Global Society of Control on JSTOR, Fall 1998, Discourse Vol. 20, No. 3, Gilles Deleuze: A Reason to Believe in this World, https://www.jstor.org/stable/41389503, 12-14-2021 amrita
This may seem innocuous, but it creates a war on difference, a new totalitarian model that is premised upon reactive orientations to desire, leaving only a simulation of political participation creating fascism-- that turns case.

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.
