JANFEB -- K -- Settler ColonialismTournament: Harvard Westlake RR | Round: 2 | Opponent: Strake Jesuit KS | Judge: Kristiana Baez, Matt Moorhead Indigeneity exists in a temporal regime antagonistic to that of the settler state – the genocidal violence of the past accumulates in the present and ensures that the benevolent future offered by the settler state will never arrive. The politics of reformism is a ruse of consent that consigns native being to a perpetual state of half-life — vote negative to reject debate’s progressive linearity – what good is incremental transformation to the one who expects to die tomorrow ?Dillon ’13 — associate professor of queer studies, holds a B.A. from the University of Iowa and a Ph.D. in American Studies with a minor in critical feminist and sexuality studies from the University of Minnesota. (Stephen Dillon, 5-23-2013, ""It's here, it's that time:" Race, queer futurity, and the temporality of violence in Born in Flames," Women and Performance: a journal of feminist theory, Vol. 23, No. 1, 38–51, http://dx.doi.org/10.1080/0740770X.2013.786277, accessed 1-6-2022)nikki AND anticipatory time that sees the no future of the future as it is. Space science is structured by the imperative of progress that demands the universal imposition of linear time and the reproduction of evacuated space – indigenous continuities of space and time are located simultaneously as the "blank slate" upon which the "perfect laboratory" can be constructed and the antagonistic pre-modern savage obstructing the emergence of settler modernity.Sammler and Lynch ’21 — (Katherine G Sammler, Casey R Lynch, 9-2-2021, "Apparatuses of observation and occupation: Settler colonialism and space science in Hawai'i," SAGE Journals, https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10.1177/02637758211042374, accessed 1-12-2022)nikki AND the geology of the Hawaiian landscape, and bodies of observer and observed. Extraterrestrial colonialism is naturalized through the discourse of public ownership – the resolution’s call to condemn the doctrine of private appropriation is an implicit call to recenter the settler public as the legitimate and rightful owners of space and place.Lister 18, research assistant @ Dine College (Majerle, "‘The Only Way to Save the Land is to Give It Back’: A Critique of Settler Conservationism," http://therednation.org/the-only-way-to-save-the-land-is-to-give-it-back-a-critique-of-settler-conservationism/)//BB AND the land — should be the ones who manage and control the land. International order is a dogwhistle for a global governance paradigm of assimilation into Western values that over-represent themselves as progress, "the world", and history itself imposed through the civilizing mission of war, intervention, and imperialism abroad.Turner and Nymalm, 19 AND , as well as in effect advocating a neocivilizing mission in the present’. Their fantasies of extinction scenarios infinitely defer a meaningful reckoning with settler colonialismDalley, 18—Assistant Professor of English at Daemen College (Hamish, "The deaths of settler colonialism: extinction as a metaphor of decolonization in contemporary settler literature," Settler Colonial Studies, 8:1, 30-46, dml) AND persist even beyond the moment of extinction they thought they wanted to arrive. The alternative is an incommensurable project of decolonization that necessitates the repatriation of indigenous lands, the abolition of slavery and property, and the dismantling of the global imperial metropole – this is a complete disavowal of settler futurity that refuses to be punctuated by narratives of reconciliation.Tuck and Yang 12 ~Eve Tuck is Associate Professor of Critical Race and Indigenous Studies at the Ontario Institute for Studies in Education (OISE), University of Toronto. She is Canada Research Chair of Indigenous Methodologies with Youth and Communities. K. Wayne Yang writes about decolonization and everyday epic organizing, particularly from underneath ghetto colonialism, often with his frequent collaborator, Eve Tuck. Currently, they are convening The Land Relationships Super Collective, editing the book series, Indigenous and Decolonizing Studies in Education, and editing the journal, Critical Ethnic Studies. He is interested in the complex role of cities in global affairs: cities as sites of settler colonialism, as stages for empire, as places of resettlement and gentrification, and as always-already on Indigenous lands. *Sometimes he writes as la paperson, an avatar that irregularly calls."Decolonization is not a metaphor," Decolonization: Indigeneity, Education and Society Vol 1 No 1 (2012) tjb~ AND the Nazi eugenics program. Forced sterilizations became illegal in California in 1964. The role of debate is to disrupt settler logics that produce epistemic or material violence – we control the question of uniqueness as academic institutions are currently saturated with anti-indigenous sentimentality – decolonization is the only ethical demand your ballot should be oriented towards | 1/13/22 |
JANFEB -- K -- Settler Colonialism v2Tournament: Harvard Westlake RR | Round: 3 | Opponent: Harvard Westlake AL | Judge: Joseph Barquin, David Dosch Settler colonialism mobilizes temporality itself in service of the consummation of white settler sovereignty – this operates through liberal narratives of progressivism that rely upon a vanishing endpoint of a "better world" achieved through the completion of the project of settler modernity. Normative debate is structured by the imperative of forward motion that locates the plan as a transformative break with colonial society that relegates the backwardness of indigeneity to the past and envisions a settler utopia in its place.Strakosch and Macoun ’12 — Elizabeth Strakosch is a senior lecturer in public policy and governance at the University of Queensland, and her work focuses on Indigenous policy, colonialism, political relationships, bureaucracy and new public management. Her research explores the connections between political relationships and policy systems in Australia and other settler contexts. contexts.

Under a regime of nationalization outer space is a perpetual site of conquest and colonization – the latest iteration of the genocidal project of terra nullius aimed at the naturalization of settler sovereignty over the "untamed" and "unknown" geographies of space. The project of extraterrestrial appropriation is rooted in the eliminatory logics of settler colonialism that seek to reinstitute the dispossession of Manifest Destiny in the present at the expense of indigeneity.Smiles ’20 — postdoctoral scholar at The Ohio State University. A citizen of the Leech Lake Band of Ojibwe, his ongoing research agenda is situated at the intersection of critical Indigenous geographies and political ecology, centered in the argument that tribal protection of remains, burial grounds, and more-than-human environments represents an effective form of ‘quotidian’ resistance against the settler colonial state. (Deondre Smiles, 10-26-2020, "The Settler Logics of (Outer) Space," Settler Colonial and Indigenous Geographies, Society and Space, https://www.societyandspace.org/articles/the-settler-logics-of-outer-space, accessed 1-11-2022)nikki AND space? What can be done to push back against these settler logics? Space management cannot be understood outside of settler colonialism. The infrastructure, institutions, and Eurocentric values of space policy are considered the hallmarks of science and progress, which become weaponized against Indigenous resistance.Matson and Nunn 17 AND a potential for a continued learning from the stars and our social existence. Extraterrestrial colonialism is naturalized through the discourse of public ownership – the resolution’s call to condemn the doctrine of private appropriation and replace it with nationalization is a call to recenter the settler public as the legitimate and rightful owners of space and place.Goldstein 18, PhD, Associate Professor of American Studies at the University of New Mexico.

The settler colonial project requires the disappearance or assimilation of the Native, who produces Settler anxieties that confound national belonging – this is an ongoing genocide that also exists in premature moves to reconciliation and the desire to not have to deal with the Indian problem anymore.Tuck and Yang 12 ~Eve Tuck is Associate Professor of Critical Race and Indigenous Studies at the Ontario Institute for Studies in Education (OISE), University of Toronto.

SEPOCT -- T -- ExtratopicalityTournament: Meadows | Round: 3 | Opponent: Northern Valley JS | Judge: Joseph Barquin Interpretation- the affirmative must not garner offense from anything except for the member nations of the WTO reducing IP protections for medicinesViolation – they defend all intellectual property protections being conceptually bad, this is exacerbated by the fact that they literally didn’t include a plan text in the doc which means my only basis for determining their scope of offense is their cards1. First is clash – having an agreed-upon stasis point is critical for left on left debates, key to creating an accessible point of clash to evaluate the efficacy of radical political engagement—predictable ground and clash are key to evaluating whether the method of the affirmative is good– the ability to defend a position against a knowledgeable opponent is key to export politics —-2. Predictable limits – they remove all topic limits by justifying any expansion of the topic beyond the resolutional wording, this is impossible for me to predict and desroys all semblance of in depth debate3. TVA – read evidence purely about medical intellectual property and defend that the resolutional mandate is in line with practical reason4. SSD solves all of their offense4. Fairness – a predictable limit is the only way to give the NEG a chance to win – radical AFF choice shifts the grounds for the debate and puts the AFF far ahead – anything other than a topical plan structurally favors the affirmative. And, fairness is an intrinsic good ¬– debate is a game and requires effective competition - controls the internal link all their education claims.Drop the Debater on T – they foreclose the ability to generate neg offense so they should loseVote on competing interps over reasonability:a. no brightline for reasonability – forces judge interventionb. incentivizes a race to the bottom –No impact turns or RVIs – A~ Perfcon – if T’s bad and you vote for them on that arg, you’re voting on T. B~ Substance – if T’s bad then we should try debating on substance – impact turns force me to go for T since I need to defend my position. C~ Dead end – strategy guides debates so they’ll desire that people read T to beat them on the impact turn – that proves their strategy is reactive and can’t solve since they rely on the structures they critique. | 10/30/21 |
SEPOCT -- T -- FrameworkTournament: Meadows | Round: Doubles | Opponent: Lynbrook SY | Judge: Jada Stinnett, X Braithwaite, Joseph Barquin Interpretation- the affirmative must defend the implementation of hypothetical government action to enact a reduction in intellectual property protections for medicinesViolation – they say they affirm the resolution but don’t defend its political implementation1. Resolved entails questions of policy actionWords and Phrases 64 (Permanent Edition) AND ," which is defined by Bouvier as meaning "to establish by law". The text of the resolution calls for debate on hypothetical government actionEricson 3 (Jon M., Dean Emeritus of the College of Liberal Arts – California Polytechnic U., et al., The Debater’s Guide, Third Edition, p. 4) AND compelling reasons for an audience to perform the future action that you propose. Standards:1. Predictable limits - there are virtually infinite amounts of critical thought and philosophy to be drawn on that can mixed and matched in any way- that destroys the ability of the neg to predict and prepare effectively.2. Aff-neg dialectics—-the resolution is the only problem given to both teams in advance - centering it allows deep preparation and engagement that refines our activist strategies. Post-facto shifts do not capture this offense because lack of central point to engage means that we can’t effectively synthesize activist lessons.3. Intellectual humility- Putting our positions up for debate and studying their flaws best breaks down our neural bias towards intellectual arrogance, and fosters a culture of better scholarship—-our brains are terrible at knowing when we’re wrong and updating our beliefs. The impact is intellectual humility—-rewards bluster instead of thoroughness that trends us and society towards extreme, unvetted positions where we criticize without accepting criticism4. TVA – read a topical plan with an advantage about how pharmacopornographic biocapitalism seeks to profit from the suffering of marginalized queer folk through exorbitant prices for things like antiretrovirals or gender confirmation therapy5. SSD solves all of their offense – there is no independent reason as to why they can’t read their nontopical advocacy as a K on the neg. Their model of debate produces insular debates that destroy education, ethics and reproduces violence– turns case | 11/7/21 |
