JanFeb - Cap AffTournament: Durham | Round: 2 | Opponent: Charlotte Latin ELi | Judge: Caroline Barry Observation One: The burden of the affirmative is to prove that appropriation of outer space by private entities is unjust. The resolution is a values question asking whether an action is right or wrong, not whether a ban on that action is effective. The aff just has to prove the statement true and the neg just has to prove that it is just. Defense contractors and space corporations have captured the US congress with massive lobbying to ensure their control of outer space at the expense of social programs – ensures that the wars that plagued the Earth will be exported to the heavens Financial frenzy will turn to bloodlust, outer space privatization is the most likely cause of armed conflict Space exploration is a smokescreen for unending extraction of Earth’s resources, exhausting the planet past the brink of a livable climate. Inaction on emissions isn’t accidental, the billionaire class is jumping ship to board another Framing The Role of the Ballot is to vote for the debater who best deconstructs capitalism – pre-requisite to any debate since capitalism infects education and prevents us from critically engaging with the world | 1/15/22 |
JanFeb - Lay AffTournament: Durham | Round: 3 | Opponent: Los Alamos EG | Judge: Ali Bokhari Observation One: The burden of the affirmative is to prove that appropriation of outer space by private entities is unjust. The resolution is a values question asking whether an action is right or wrong, not whether a ban on that action is effective. The aff just has to prove the statement true and the neg just has to prove that it is just. My value is human dignity Capitalism uses workers as a means to an end by using them as instruments and forcing them to generate wealth for the wealthy which violates their human dignity Since capitalism uses workers as a means to an end this means it is an unjust system. Thus we are morally obligated to move away from capitalism which means my value criterion is deconstructing capitalism. Contention One: Capitalism Defense contractors and space corporations have captured the US congress with massive lobbying to ensure their control of outer space at the expense of social programs – ensures that the wars that plagued the Earth will be exported to the heavens Financial frenzy will turn to bloodlust, outer space privatization is the most likely cause of armed conflict Space exploration is a smokescreen for unending extraction of Earth’s resources, exhausting the planet past the brink of a livable climate.

NovDec - Cap AffTournament: DAMUS | Round: 2 | Opponent: Harker NA | Judge: Dylan Liu Capitalism is in decline and created conditions where the people it exploits have been made the most vulnerable due to the pandemic, which sets the stage for revolution Capitalism’s innate drive for capital accumulation drives environmental disaster and nuclear warfare – therefore it must be abolished Thus, we affirm Resolved: A just government ought to recognize an unconditional right to strike. The right to strike mobilizes working class movements and is the only way to create radical change The aff is a starting point for anti-capitalist working movements-- it gives workers collective power to change the conditions that capitalism creates. Lawful strikes are subject to conditions that protect property and the state rather than the employee. This limits the ability for the employee to successfully fulfill their demands Strikes spill-over to broader support of the labor movement and unions – every strike encourages more strikes Framing The Role of the Judge is to be an activist teacher – unite in solidarity and support the fight against capitalism with your ballot | 11/7/21 |
SepOCt - Evergreening TradTournament: UK | Round: 5 | Opponent: Cary NS | Judge: Ashish Mittal My Value Criterion is maximizing the most lives saved. I affirm the resolution: The Member Nations of the World Trade Organization ought to reduce intellectual property protections on medicines. I advocate reducing IP protections on medicines through the implementation of a one and done system for patents in member nations. Con. 1: Infectious Disease Drug companies invest more into share buybacks and marketing then RandD Majority of pharmaceutical resources focused on evergreen drugs – stifling innovation and raising prices IP evergreening causes high prices by squashing generic competition High drug prices cause hospitals to slash services and staffing decreasing quality of care High quality healthcare workers necessary to preventing pandemics Future pandemics are inevitable – globalization and climate change Disease causes extinction Independently, Pandemics cause massive economic damage, drives instability, and social tension Instability leads to nuclear war | 9/12/21 |

2. Death is the worse possible thing since it erases our very existence Contrary to those...all human possibility 3. Requires the prevention of extinction which is a pre-req to all other frameworks. Adv. 1: Infectious Disease Majority of pharmaceutical resources focused on evergreen drugs – stifling innovation and raising prices IP evergreening causes high prices by squashing generic competition Evergreening leads to high drug prices through lack of generics – insulin proves High drug prices increase risk of infectious disease – two warrants:
2. Decrease in coverage A decrease in coverage exacerbates infectious diseases and poses a risk to public health The next pandemic risks killing billions Infectious disease serves as a threat multiplier – AIDS crisis proves Solvency A one and done approach would end patent walls | 9/4/21 |
