Badiou 08“The philosophers have only interpreted the world, in various ways. The point, however, is to change it” – truth is the process from theory to practice, pure theorization divorced of practice and rebellions are essentially reactionary and leads to useless accumulation of ideas and idealist absurdities. Thus, the role of the ballot is to vote for the best method that rebels against the capitalist reactionaries Badiou 08 (Alain Badiou, a professor emeritus of philosophy at the Ecole Normale Supérieure, Paris, works with Organisation Politique, a postparty organization.)“The Maoism of Alain Badiou.” The Marxist-Leninist, The Marxist-Leninist, 24 Mar. 2008, marxistleninist.wordpress.com/2008/03/23/the-maoism-of-alain-badiou/.

SeptOct - Moral Particularism
Tournament: New York City Invitational Debate and Speech Tournament | Round: 1 | Opponent: Millburn AX | Judge: Kyle Kopf Even if there’s an objective morality, it can’t be transcendent like a scientific law—moral judgements depend upon lower-level laws that require exceptions Lance and Little 6 Mark Norris Lance and Margaret Olivia Little. “Defending Moral Particularism.” In Contemporary Debates in Moral Theory, James Dreier (ed.), 2006. Z. Smith Reynolds Library at Wake Forest University. Mark Norris Lance is a professor in the Philosophy Department and Justice and Peace Studies Program at Georgetown University Margaret Olivia Little Director, Kennedy Institute of Ethics Associate Professor, Philosophy Department Georgetown University https://philpapers.org/rec/LANPAA-2avery But what if one does believe cruelty and the like to be univalent? The AND , privileged conditions, and compensatory moves all exert leverage on one another..
Moral principles frequently have exceptions—it’s not that nothing’s universal, but there’s no way to compare or codify values independent of context Lance and Little 6 Mark Norris Lance and Margaret Olivia Little. “Defending Moral Particularism.” In Contemporary Debates in Moral Theory, James Dreier (ed.), 2006. Z. Smith Reynolds Library at Wake Forest University. Mark Norris Lance is a professor in the Philosophy Department and Justice and Peace Studies Program at Georgetown University Margaret Olivia Little Director, Kennedy Institute of Ethics Associate Professor, Philosophy Department Georgetown University https://philpapers.org/rec/LANPAA-2avery Moral particularists like exceptions. At any rate, they regard exceptions as ubiquitous to AND all in a way that cannot be codified in any helpful concrete way.
A The Affirmative positions itself as moral principle regarding a situation – This makes morality impossible to achieve since we are now constrained by engrained generalizations that fail to account for exceptions within principles - thus negate on presumption since the 1AC can never contextually justify their moral actions
B Tying morality to principles causes harmful ethical thought – means we can never adjust our thoughts or break principles even if the situation would be better for it
C Affirmative’s generalizations make weighing ethicality between actions impossible – Moral principles will see actions that violate that moral principle as ethically the same – Means we can never decide between conflicting principles and causes the inability to make decisions – Means even if moral principles are good, they make it impossible to act under principles
D MP necessary to formulating real world ethical thinking – not all situations are in the same context and require specific moral analysis to derive moral action
