Independent voter for jurisdiction – the judge doesn’t have the jurisdiction to vote aff if there wasn’t a legitimate aff.~2~ Limits and ground – their model allows affs to defend anything from Covid vaccines to HIV drugs to Insulin— there's no universal DA since each has different functions and political implications — that explodes neg prep and leads to random medicine of the week affs which makes cutting stable neg links impossible — limits key to reciprocal engagement since they create a caselist for neg prep and it takes out ground like DAs to certain medicines which are some of the few neg generics when affs spec medicines.~3~ TVA solves – you could’ve read your plan as an advantage under a whole res advocacy.Fairness – debate is a competitive activity that requires fairness for objective evaluation.

00- yall have just governmentsTournament: Alta | Round: 1 | Opponent: Marlborough HH | Judge: ean neiswanger Interpretation: the affirmative must defend that only just governments ought to recognize the right to strikeJust governments respect libertiesDorn 12 James A.

3- feminists will take over the worldTournament: Loyola | Round: 1 | Opponent: St croix prep ad | Judge: Michael kurian The aff’s rhetoric of saving the rest of the world, is inherently consolidate the power in the white, hypermasculine world, which re-entrenches the world into the patriarchy.Agathangelou, A., M., professor of international relations and women, Ming, L.,H., scholar for world theorism and political theorist, (sept, 2004), "Power, Borders, Security, Wealth: Lessons of Violence and Desire from September 11", international studies quarterly, vol 48, no. 3, pp. 517-538 AND such that one comes to mean the other, regardless of the outcome. The reducing of patents is an instance of hyperfeminity, where the reduction of patents is seen as other countries leeching off of creators of medicines, which reenforces the view of hegemonic and hypermasculinity in IR. No perms, they are trying to please everyone else marginally to maintain their powerThe affs rhetoric of removing the system that allows for an opportunity for women to enter the scientific field and leave the overarching systems intact, which allows for cooption by the patriarchy of feminist ideals. It also gets rid of a basis where we are able to incorporate a patent system that allows for the insertion of femininity into inventions. The role of the ballot is the debater who best methodologically deconstructs the patriarchy in round.Burk, D., L., professor of intellectual property and law, (2011), do patents have genders?, journal of gender, social policy and the law, https://digitalcommons.wcl.american.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=1526andcontext=jgspl AND still have it on hand to guide us when a cure becomes available.

3- weheliye deez nutsTournament: Alta | Round: 4 | Opponent: Marlborough LK | Judge: Asher Towner the joke doesnt make any sense but its funny The very structure of democratic coercion is grounded in the state of exception and used as an apparatus for violence – the "just government" as portrayed is a façadeWeheliye 2 Alexander Weheliye, Associate Professor of African American Studies at Northwestern University, 2014, "Habeas Viscus: Racializing Assemblages, Biopolitics, and Black Feminist Theories of the Human,"/vishfish(fixed) AND , then, might just allow us to relate to the world differently. Double bind- either the aff links into the k or it bites back on the framework shellThe state and the court are focused on eliminating deviancy from the western Man. The aff’s position of granting rights not only posits the state above all others, it begs the question of who is included in these rights. By including humans, it begs the question, who is not human? Who doesn’t deserve rights? Thus the guise of progress hides regression – inclusion only pushes others farther from the colorline of inclusion.Weheliye 1 AND , smell, and taste bare life in the subjectivity of the oppressed. When examining a subject to grant rights to, the state violently compares groups to their truth: the western Man. While the state offered rights to indigenous people who converted closer to whiteness and the Man, it even further excluded the slaves – distancing them from the Man and solidifying the hierarchy of western Man above all else. Thus, the role of the ballot is to deconstruct the Western Man.Weheliye 2 AND property at the same time as it fortifies the supremacy of Man.13 The alternative is habeas viscus- Instead of relying on narrow, rights based legal solutions, the alternative plays with the law by exploring the power of liminal spaces. It gives us a new way of emancipating ourselves from the confines of the colorline and the state. We are new freedom, a fresh start, an understanding of the state as something that isn’t necessary and defining. Thus the alt is to dwell in the monstrosity of the flesh as a tactic of guerrilla warfare.

Because death is objectively bad. Cap turns their evidence, because cap creates greed. Cant perm a performance, at best they get post fiat offense, links das to the permAny ethical system created from within capitalism will be co-opted by it - their appeal to "ethics" is a distraction from class struggleRed Critique 5 (Winter/Spring, "Left Populisms", http://www.redcritique.org/WinterSpring2005/leftpopulisms.htm) AND , with no choice but to consent to the dictates of capital accumulation.

The Role of the ballot is to vote for the debater that best methodologically and performatively deconstructs the capitalist mode of production.Reasons to prefer:Alienation- capitalism alienates people from each other by relating them through exchange, and separating them from their desires, this renders people as expendable, and means that as long as capitalism exists under any ethical framework everything will be permissible, makes my framing a prerequisite to accessing theirs.Epistemological- capitalist logic is engrained in our psyche meaning that it controls what we perceive as true, this means that we must deconstruct it before able to make normative decisions because it underpins all that, makes my framing a prerequisite before accessing theirs. | 9/21/21 |
