SeptOct K - Dean Cap v1Tournament: Yale | Round: 2 | Opponent: Strake Jesuit NW | Judge: Mariana Colicchio Dean KThe aff's embrace of melancholia and fixation on the Asian identity doom their praxis to politics at the margins. Even if they profess to support coalition building, the melancholia inherent to their project makes true change impossible, and they fail to address the root cause of oppression among different oppressed bodies and instead embrace affectual gestures.~Dean, Jodi. "Communist desire."The Ends of History. Routledge, 2013. 14-31.~ WWEY Ontologizing the historical prevents an accurate account of oppression, rendering the aff meaningless and proving only the alt can solve. Wilkie12Wilkie, Assistant Professor of Cultural and Digital Studies – U Wisconsin-La Crosse, '12 The alternative is embracing party politics. This means building a radical coalition that unifies all marginalized by different forms of oppression to challenge capitalism and imperialism. Black Panther Party proves concrete action outside of the state is possible and successful.~Curry Stephenson Malott. "In Defense of Communism Against Critical Pedagogy, Capitalism, and Trump." Critical Education 8, no. 1 (2017).~ WWEY The role of the ballot is consistency with the politics of comradery. This results in a clean break in capitalism that allows us to reimagine political work and transcend capital's limitations on what is possible and feasible. Absent this framing, all movements and coalitions inevitably collapse under the strain of competing interests and the lack of connection.Jodi Dean 19 () "Comrade - An Essay on Political Belonging" Verso, 10-01-2019, http://library.lol/main/429C9EC2E2F0AA8DCC33FE2CC178B11D.

SeptOct K - Dean Cap v2Tournament: Yale | Round: 3 | Opponent: Flintridge Prep TV | Judge: Nathaniel Tran The plan's reduction of IP is in line with a broader strategy of vaccine diplomacy – this treats global health as a game of political football to advance imperialist interests in the long-term – only anti-capitalist organizing solves.Patanè, 21 The aff engages in fragmentation through small gestures of resistance that fail to challenge the underlying structure of capitalism, accepting its inevitability. This reproduces melancholia where leftist politics relish marginal change and small legislative victories but fail to engage in true opposition to capitalism, dooming themselves to politics at the margins.~Dean, Jodi. "Communist desire."The Ends of History. Routledge, 2013. 14-31.~ WWEY Capitalism is the root cause of all forms of violence – ~racism, sexism, xenophobia, pandemics, famine, climate change, and nuclear proliferation~ are all direct results of its desire to over commodify – and it is definitionally unable to conceive of its own demise, therefore woefully unequipped to challenge existential threatsJohn Bellamy Foster 19 (John Bellamy Foster is an American professor of sociology at the University of Oregon and editor of the Monthly Review.

SeptOct NC - Hobbes v2Tournament: Valley | Round: 1 | Opponent: Lexington FV | Judge: Stephen Scopa The state of nature necessitates infinite violence between conflicting world views – There is no objective solution to this conflict, because truth is relative. Instead, conflict requires the creation of the sovereign, to resolve disputes. In exchange for their safety, subjects agree to give up their claims to meaning to the sovereign. Thus, the standard is consistency with the will of the sovereign. | 9/25/21 |
SeptOct T MedicineTournament: Yale | Round: 3 | Opponent: Flintridge Prep TV | Judge: Nathaniel Tran Interpretation: The affirmative debater must defend the reduction of intellectual property protections for medicinesViolation: Vaccines aren't medicine, merriam webster defines medicine as a substance or preparation used in treating disease (hyperlinked)Negate on Jurisdiction – The judge can only vote on positions that meet the burdens of the res otherwise you could literally hand the judge 5 bucks and say vote for me and there would be no reason not to. Since the debater didn't present a position that was semantically coherent with the res auto negate as they literally didn't read an AC. Anything else invites judge intervention as the judge can arbitrarily set the bounds of the debate. | 9/18/21 |
Theory - Must not read Util or any consequentialist standardTournament: Yale | Round: 5 | Opponent: Olympia OE | Judge: Abhilash Datti The neg may not read utilitarianism or any consequentialist ethical theory as a standard – a) resolvability: 1~ Induction fails—induction assumes that things will always happen the same way in the future as they have in the past. But this begs the question of how we know what happened in the past will happen in the future. Thus, induction is logically fallacious. 2~ Moral cluelessness—consequences are wholly unknowable and any action can lead to a domino effect that has unpredictable bad consequences in the end which means it can't guide action 3~ Infinite consequences—any harm stretches on into the infinite future and makes it impossible to compare harms—results in calculative regress—you have you calculate how much time to spend calculating and so on—destroys decision-making 4~ Aggregation fails—happiness is only happy for you, but not for me, so you can't compare across people—also can't compare 10 headaches to a migraine to the value of friendship b) psychological violence: util and other consequentialist theories justify atrocities such as slavery if it benefits a marginal majority or for hypothetical benefits that might not even materialize | 9/18/21 |
Theory IncoherentTournament: Yale | Round: 5 | Opponent: Olympia OE | Judge: Abhilash Datti Theory is incoherent: ~a~ The ballot is always determined off abuse and inequalities, otherwise it would be impossible to evaluate the round. ~b~ You can't evaluate theory because it's evaluating off the flow rather than making the decision of which is actually a better norm, so you can't actually be consistent with the voters. ~c~ Theory doesn't produce the best rule since it allows the better theory debater to produce rules that will benefit them. ~d~ Things get proven true in debate rounds all the time that aren't true in the real world, so theory doesn't actually achieve its purpose because it doesn't prove better norms. ~e~ It's a contradiction because you say your voter is either constitutive of or beneficial for a competitive activity, but no competitive activity would establish rules in the middle of a competition. Evaluate the theory debate after the 2n – we both get 2 speeches so its reciprocal ~f~ Theory sets bad norms because we vote for interps that are marginally better than other interps, rather the best version of the interp, so it doesn't achieve the voter. ~g~ Theory is paradoxical because it attempts to limit arguments but uses arguments to do that, which concedes the validity of arguments in the first place. ~h~ Not jurisdictional because the judge can only vote for someone proving their side of the resolution. The resolution doesn't care about whether we can debate, it just says prove your side, so theory isn't a voter. Inclusion is the fallacy of origin, don't apply it. Implications are clear out of the nc – don't allow new 2ar responses because they're functionally new arguments and there's no 3n to check. | 9/18/21 |
