Generic - Better Debater ROTBTournament: Strake | Round: 3 | Opponent: Vestavia Hills DS | Judge: Josh St Peter ROBThe Role of the Ballot is to vote for the team that did the better debating – theirs is self serving and arbitrary:~a~ Obviously the judge is an individual, but they should default to comparing competing policy options. Voting on identity claims causes judge intervention and creates a violent model of debate in which judges use their ballot to issue referendums on someone's personal performance of their identity. Especially violent when two minorities debate, like Davis and myself.~b~ Discourse doesn't shape reality – proven by the fact they read Kant. This proves that their epistemological claims are inevitably overdetermined by their concern for competitive success.~c~ Our model doesn't necessitate plan focus in terms of the off case arguments read, but FW proves that a stable advocacy is necessary to generate clash and pre-round research. If you assume the worst version of our model, there should be a reciprocal burden in which you assume the worst version of their model in which debaters are forced to negate one's subject position, increasing racist arguments and turns their psychological violence impacts.~d~ Fiat is answered by numbers 1 and 3 – abandoning the resolution causes debaters to weaponize their own identities for ballots and causes judge intervention. Our model also doesn't necessitate fiat since USFG ISNT IN THE RESOLUTION. You just have to defend limitations on state power which solves your offense.~e~ Focusing only on debate is too narrow minded and disavows the structural dispossession of people outside of our activity that your UQ claims rely on. If you're correct about your claims of enslavement and inability to access policy institutions, then focusing only on Debate doesn't resolve these issues. | 12/18/21 |
Generic - Deleuze KTournament: Strake | Round: 3 | Opponent: Vestavia Hills DS | Judge: Josh St Peter 1NCKTheir ontology and identity-based focus fails – we aren't stable beings but rather defined by difference in itself. This takes out their ontology claims – ontology is defined by difference, not identity. The only ontologically valid orientation is that which recognizes a constitutive instability. May 05Todd May (a political philosopher who writes on topics of anarchism, poststructuralism, and post-structuralist anarchism. More recently he has published books on existentialism and moral philosophy. He is currently Class of 1941 Memorial Professor of Philosophy at Clemson University), 01-10-2005, "Gilles Deleuze: An Introduction," Cambridge University Press, hzheng The human overrepresents itself and assimilates difference to signify the face, excluding deviancy – this is the faciality machine and turns case.

Queerness is a specific resistance to modern actualization of "biological sex," a difference that the structures of modernity can't capture, which implies it can be destroyed. What we need to do is say "fuck biology, fuck the sexed body," a project their advocacy can't do. Saewol 18 (they're queer)Saewol (a journal of queer becomings), 11-9-2018, "Against Biology, Against the Sexed Body," Anarchist Library, https://theanarchistlibrary.org/library/saewol-a-journal-of-queer-becomings-against-biology-against-the-sexed-body, hzheng Your dialectical conception of identity is wrong – faciality explains better.

The alternative is becoming-minority, a refusal to categorize, to destroy any notion of identity and stability, to embrace difference in itself.

Generic - PresumptionPermissibility NegateTournament: Strake | Round: 2 | Opponent: Denton Guyer SB | Judge: James Stuckert Permissibility negates:1 In order to prove the truth of the resolution, the Aff must prove obligation bc ought implies obligation, not permissibility. Presumption negates:1 There are infinitely more ways to prove something false then true—so, epistemically the neg is more likely | 12/18/21 |

JanFeb Nozick NCTournament: Strake | Round: 2 | Opponent: Denton Guyer SB | Judge: James Stuckert Equality via rationality and self-ownership implies autonomy, thus, the standard is consistency with a system of self-ownership. Feser NDEdward Feser (Pasadena City College), xx-xx-xxxx, "Nozick, Robert," Internet Encyclopedia of Philosophy, https://iep.utm.edu/nozick/, hzheng Prefer: performativity – debating my framework presumes that you own yourself to argue which concedes the validity of my framework, also means it’s inescapable because escaping it entails contradictionNegate – this implies justice justifies acquisition of outer space because it doesn’t interfere with anyone.
