K - Death DriveTournament: UPENN | Round: 3 | Opponent: Harrison TB | Judge: Ambrose, Milachi The thesis of the negative begins with the question of enjoyment, within the entrance into the symbolic order individuals sacrifice of imaginary wholeness, producing a loss constitutive of their entire subjectivity. It is this experience that marks the beginnings of the death drive, the lost object is the ultimate symbol of enjoyment, and it is within the endless pursuit of the imaginary object A that we lend coherence to our identity – to reproduce the feeling of loss that constitutes their subjectivity, individuals engage in acts of violence self destruction in a masochistic attempt to maintain enjoyment and satisfaction. It is this drive that ensures infinite error replication and serves as a fundamental barrier to any true progress Emancipatory politics centered around opposition are destined to fail as they fail to consider how the very structures they revolt against lend to their coherence – the good ideal society is only defined by the structures that oppose it Within the entrance into the chaotic and self-contradictory symbolic order, the subject sacrifices a sense of wholeness in order to develop its coherency. This loss that constitutes subjectivity shapes the interactions between the other, what arises in these interactions is paranoid scapegoating. In order to stabilize the inherent unstable nature of social interaction, we blame our constitutive loss apon the existence of a singular subject, an overriding authority that organizes the formations of power that exist today – this scapegoating provides the foreground for targeted violence of the other. Emancipatory politics centered around this will never be capable of providing true recourse for subjects – it deprives agency and leads to a never ending conflict between the self and the scapegoated other. Politics of making demands falls into the repetition of enjoyment. Interrogating affective investment in movements is key to articulating political desires. White racial identity structures its coherence through conjuring images of mythic enjoyment experienced by racial minorities; consequently, they become the objects of the surveillance of white racial gaze, objects whose excessive enjoyment must be curtailed, with spectacular violence of necessary. No Link Turns or Perms: The aff is an obsessed attempt to satisfy the big other by remaining interpassive—their determination of how to be the best cog is mere intellectual masturbation locking in domination and violence—they cant say why this is good because it is just their libidinal economy demands this stimulation Their form of politics makes things worse and sustains a bad relationship to the death drive, ensuring the extinction of humanity. An embrace of the death drive entails an outright rejection of the 1acs demands, rather than the attempt to move towards a new future we must center the discussion on the loss that constitutes our subjectivity – only through this rejection and a focus on the impossibility of the lost object can we reposition our enjoyment to serve in ways that provide true possibilities for freedom and recourse The role of the ballot is to vote for the debater who best engages in psychoanalytic interrogation Reality is only a guise to ensure what we see is what we want to see and is shaped by the pleasure principle – a prior psychoanalytical interrogation is key to understand reality. Case Plan gets circumvented – empirics prove. Circumvention waters down enforcement | 2/12/22 |
