JF - 1AC - HWLTournament: Harvard-Westlake | Round: 4 | Opponent: Harker MK | Judge: Ari Davidson These images of NewSpace companies’ broader goals for colonization is reminiscent of NASAs 2010 art series “Visions of the Future.” These frontier symbolics are coded to invite the expansion of settler colonial racial capitalism as the necessary condition of the future of “all humankind.” In these posters, the earth is a site of foreclosure, a non-oasis without respite nor air to breathe; the future is simply the “redder” grass able to provide a new settler monument “cold faithful.” This inextricable link between world making propaganda and extraterrestrial sovereignty reveals that the future offered is simply a hyperreal repetition of settler colonial racial capitalism subtended by the domesticating infrastructure of the drive for colonization and resources The colonization of space is a part of a technoscientific development where technology becomes the sedimentation of hyperreality – the status quos attempt for space development is a colonial romanticism, an image of a future of a terraformed Mars – these representations are philosophical and ideological simulacrum of space developments not for the survival of the human but for the survival of capital – NewSpace has invaded the social imaginaries of consciousness which has become another iteration of that libertarian imaginary This dystopic future is not just symbolic, it is legal – Obama’s 2010 “national space policy” stated: “The US is committed to… facilitating the growth of a… commercial space sector that supports U.S. needs… and advances US leadership in the generation of new markets.” The 2015 “SPACE Act” cemented this vision of the future, signaling the beginning of the regime of NewSpace, a hyperreal playground projecting the shared colonial desire of NASA’s future via the newly inaugurated regimes of space privatization – the SPACE Act revealed the OST’s (en)framing of space as commons only ceded sovereignty to capital, hiding statecraft’s ties to accumulation in plain sight. These directives enclose the future of space to the highway exits of accumulation. Remember that this is the future NASA envisions – outer space as the spatial triangulation of accumulation, logistical counterinsurgency, and worldmaking in the service of domestication. BUT, neoliberalism fascism has run out of places to expand this accumulation – Biden’s neoliberalism is just a safety valve for colonize desire that cannot imagine alternatives to a collapsing system. Enter Outer Space, the final frontier, the accumulation of the ultimate terra nullius where desire saturates the Adventureland that NASA and Elon Musk both imagine as space. The stakes are the inevitable stripping the earth and its peoples to fuel this endless expansion of the market into the cosmos. Thus, in response to the unjust appropriation of outer space by private entities, I affirm global orbital counter-operations Outer space policy theorized through histories of racial capitalism can only ever produce another launch site on stolen land. Instead, our response must tie the materiality of orbital counter insurgency to a worlding practice that can intervene in the NewSpace Race. Counter-operations repurpose space infrastructure against its progenitor, tying insurrectionary violence to prefiguring experimentation in alternative modes of socio-political organization. Counter-operations sabotage the systems of accumulation, blockading the operations of logistics and hacking the networks of communication to world new worlds. | 1/16/22 |

JF - 1AC - PalmTournament: Palm | Round: 2 | Opponent: Harker AV | Judge: Ari Davidson The year is 2187, human exploration of space has taken leaps to extend deep in the universe thanks to innovations of Amazon, Alibaba, and Gazprom the human species has been able to jump from planet to planet colonizing everything in its path taking resources, pillaging, and killing anything in the feudalist leader’s path. But these decisions did not come from the leaders of the United States, Russia, and China rather Jeff Bezos, Jack Ma, and what used to be Russians shareholders, but were recently bought out by the consciousness of Mark Zuckerberg uploaded into the metaverse – the United BMZ under the guidance of these people have turned what we know as planet earth into a company feudalism that has begun to expand the universe in their thirst for resources need to oil the gears of racial intergalactic capitalism These images of NewSpace companies’ broader goals for colonization is reminiscent of NASAs 2010 art series “Visions of the Future.” These frontier symbolics are coded to invite the expansion of settler colonial racial capitalism as the necessary condition of the future of “all humankind.” In these posters, the earth is a site of foreclosure, a non-oasis without respite nor air to breathe; the future is simply the “redder” grass able to provide a new settler monument “cold faithful.” This inextricable link between world making propaganda and extraterrestrial sovereignty reveals that the future offered is simply a hyperreal repetition of settler colonial racial capitalism subtended by the domesticating infrastructure of the drive for colonization and resources The colonization of space is a part of a technoscientific development where technology becomes the sedimentation of hyperreality – the status quos attempt for space development is a colonial romanticism, an image of a future of a terraformed Mars – these representations are philosophical and ideological simulacrum of space developments not for the survival of the human but for the survival of capital – NewSpace has invaded the social imaginaries of consciousness which has become another iteration of that libertarian imaginary This dystopic future is not just symbolic, it is legal – Obama’s 2010 “national space policy” stated: “The US is committed to… facilitating the growth of a… commercial space sector that supports U.S. needs… and advances US leadership in the generation of new markets.” The 2015 “SPACE Act” cemented this vision of the future, signaling the beginning of the regime of NewSpace, a hyperreal playground projecting the shared colonial desire of NASA’s future via the newly inaugurated regimes of space privatization – the SPACE Act revealed the OST’s (en)framing of space as commons only ceded sovereignty to capital, hiding statecraft’s ties to accumulation in plain sight. These directives enclose the future of space to the highway exits of accumulation. NewSpace companies act as a black hole taking and destroying everything in its path – energy cannot be destroyed, it can only be transformed. Therefore, the energy the black hole strips away from the matter it consumes is released back into space, structuring reality around itself, the same way that the matter capital consumes is broken down, transformed and released as value. the impact is eternal exploitation – value subsumes labor to capital, justifying utter exploitation of the working masses in the name of accumulation for accumulation’s sake, and then it shapes labor to the needs of capital creating a vicious cycle. this same abstract form of domination applies to the space which capital exploits, subsuming it and transforming it to its’ needs ultimately absorbing everything toward annihilation.

ND - 1AC - USCTournament: USC | Round: 1 | Opponent: Harvard-Westlake AD | Judge: Nae Edwards Come one come all to the advancements of late-stage capitalism the algorithmic codes of the world have been connected under a logic of racial capitalism meant to allow for the computation of all life – these connections are only made possible by the World Computer – the machine of violence and abstraction that “understands the history of the commodification of life as a process of encrypting the world’s myriad qualities as quantities.” No one is safe from the violence – all forms of expression are trapped within the semiotics of the World Computer as they are conscripted by the algorithms that intensify inequality by being put to service of racial capitalism – which is driving the nearapocalyptic world failure of global racial capitalism The topic is a neoliberal response to the ongoing violence of giant corporations exploitation of workers – the World Computer has coopted those responses – it’s colonization of semiotics has rendered all forms of democratic modes of governance outmoded to save those who designed it for the violence purpose of extraction politics – the worker strikes becomes another means of the system to correct itself and table radicalism as strikes just becomes another state endorsed method of resistance leaving the structures of racial capitalism inevitable The World Computer’s operating system is terminally unsustainable – it writes global apartheid into every interaction, seeking ongoing financialization and extraction to feed the racial unconscious of the West – that produces planetary crisis making it impossible for the engineering project of the aff to escape its own history The terminal operating system of the world computer has proliferated the hierarchical systems of capitalist organizations there is no more a single boss – rather a connected matrix of power at the intersections of globalization and technological control Meaning has become circumscribed by this episteme of financialization. Realities of antiblack and colonial systems of genocide are crystalized through derivatives and risk management strategies, from the ledgers and cargo holds of slave ships to modern bail, debt, and housing, to the creation and sharing of informatics of leftist movements. The world computer runs on this codification and recodification of information as social difference that becomes inseparable from reality itself. The creation of mass-scale computation that encodes water management arose out of this unconscious automation of social relations, deriving from the poisoning of water a numerous black communities form Flint, Baltimore, Herculnem, Serbring and DC. This is the horror of the world computer – the disappearance of the world itself into the banality of information, where social difference ceases to be anything other than the mutable substrate of financialization. Our challenge to this systemic commodification of life requires a challenge at the level of abstraction, an interruption of the information-paradigm where meaning and truth are restricted to the feedback process of the world computer.
Against the demand to input a binary 1 or 0 into the operating system of the world computer, our affirmation of the resolution refuses the presumed instrumentality of the question, in favor of the proliferation of the beautiful, cacophonous noise of the otherwise and outside. Only this rethinking of thinking can reveal the geopolitical alternatives that are excluded from the episteme of the world computer. Thus, we recognize the universal right of workers to engage in a cognitive general strike Rather than continue the automation of thought around governments unconditional right to strikes, our affirmation insists that our mutual dispossession must be refigured as the condition of possibility for a new communist horizon. This affirmation invites you to join us in a cognitive strike against the instrumentalization of the world computer. If we are all nodes in the world computer, then this revolutionary experiment demands that we refuse the technological prosthetic of abstraction that it offers, and instead proliferate alternative models of knowledge that cannot be enunciated or truncated through the derivative form. This is not a demand for legal recognition, but rather a form of radical self-governance that asserts the only governing body that can regulate us is ourselves. This cybernetic communism mobilizes a new conceptual armature and reparative knowledge operations to devise tools of revolution against the World Computer, radicalizing and restructuring the semiotic, libidinal, and political economies. UV 1 1AR theory is legit – anything else means infinite abuse – drop the debater – 1AR are too short to make up for the time trade-off – no RVIs – 6 min 2NR means they can brute force me every time – competing interps – otherwise the 2NR could drown the aff in arguments while playing defense. Aff theory first – much larger strategic loss – ¼ of the 1AR vs. 1/7 of the 1NC. Fairness is a voter because its constitutive to debate and education is a voter because its what we retain after we leave the activity. Permissibility and presumption affirm – A neutrality- otherwise we would not be able to justify morally neutral actions like drinking water since there isn’t a prohibition and we would needlessly have to prove an obligation. B Trivialism- statements are true until proven false, if I told you my name you’d believe me. C Affirming is harder – that was above D Negation Theory- Negating requires a complete absence of an existing obligation | 12/11/21 |
