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.

Black Panther Party proves concrete action outside of the state is possible and successful. The conditions are set for a global revolution against capitalism if and only if the neoliberal order does not corrupt the movement – means reject the perm on face due to solvency deficit.This isn't an alternative economic system – that's left for after the revolution and will be shaped through the party by comrades, means generic indicts to communism don't apply as that's not the alt and just another instance of capitalism attempting to bracket, make intelligible, and exploit worker's projects through its individualist and radically cynical and commodified perception of reality.~Curry Stephenson Malott.

SeptOct NC - Hobbes v1Tournament: Yale | Round: 5 | Opponent: Olympia OE | Judge: Abhilash Datti 1nc – ncPermissibility negates:1) negate means "to deny the truth of," so the neg can disprove an obligation through permissibility since the 1ac must defend an active obligation to act 2) there is a trichotomy between obligation, prohibition and permissibility; proving onedisproves the other two.3) Ought implies proactive justification since we don't take actions unless we have a reason to take the action.Presumption negates:1) We assume statements to be false until proven true. That is why we don't believe in alternate realities or conspiracy theories. The lack of a reason to believe something is false does not mean it is assumed to be true. The black swan disproved the statement "all swans are white." The meta-ethic is constructivism – morality is constructed through social interactions and does not exist a priori. Prefer –a~ Rule-following paradox—rules are infinitely regressive because they rely on more rules to explain them that are based in social understanding. The state of nature necessitates infinite violence between conflicting world views –a~ Pre-emption—if there's no basis to condemn actions, then everyone acts solely in their own self-interest—that means the most rational strategy is to take people out before they can hurt you 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.Parrish 04 ~Parrish, Rick, (Rick Parrish teaches at Loyola University New Orleans. His current research is focused on the play of violence and respect within justice.) "Derrida'S Economy Of Violence In Hobbes' Social Contract" Theory andamp; Event, Vol. 7 No. 4, 2005, 2005, http://muse.jhu.edu/article/244119~~#back, DOA:6-30-2018 WWBW~ Thus, the standard is consistency with the will of the sovereign.Vote neg –1~ states can't have obligations to external standards like international law since their only obligation is to avoid the state of nature –the state can't restrict its own power since it exists outside the law which means the res is impossible – vote neg on presumption2~ the res implies an unchanging normative claim but this is impossible as truth is constructed through socialization and there's no guarantee that all subjects would come to the same truth claims.The metaethic takes out all paradoxes and a prioris – they attempt to construct transcendental principles of logic but that's impossible as truth is socially constructed. And, this functions on the highest layer of the substance debate – it's a fundamental epistemological and metaphysical question that frames all other forms of reasoning and linguistics. | 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 |
TTTournament: Yale | Round: 5 | Opponent: Olympia OE | Judge: Abhilash Datti Reject independent voting issues –1~ they incentivize bad-faith efforts to overwhelms the 2nr with a ton of new voters that I can't respond to effectively – that kills clash and topical education The role of the ballot is to vote for the debater who best proves the truth or falsity of the Resolution; the aff must prove it true and the neg must prove it false.Prefer: ~A~ Text: Five dictionaries define to negate as to deny the truth of and affirm as to prove true which means the sole judge obligation is to vote on the resolution's truth or falsity. This outweighs on common usage – it is abundantly clear that our roles are verified. Any other role of the ballot enforces an external norm on debate, but only truth testing is intrinsic to the process of debate i.e. proving statements true or false through argumentation. Constitutivism outweighs because you don't have the jurisdiction not to truth test – if a chess player says you should break the rules for a more fun game, the proper response is to ignore them as a practice only makes sense based on its intrinsic rules. Jurisdiction is also an independent voter and a meta constraint on anything else since every argument you make concedes the authority of the judge fulfilling their jurisdiction to vote aff if they affirm better and neg the contrary – otherwise they could just hack against or for you which means it also controls the internal link to fairness since that's definitionally unfair. ~B~ Logic: Any counter role of the ballot collapses to truth testing because every property assumes truth of the property i.e. if I say, "I am awake" it is the same as "it is true that I am awake" which means they are also a question of truth claims because it's inherent. It also means their ROB warrants aren't mutually exclusive with mine. If the aff is true the res ought to be implemented, but the res ought to only be implemented if its not already being implemented, so it ought to be that the res is not implemented. ~C~ Inclusion: Any offense can function under truth testing whereas your specific role of the ballot excludes all strategies but yours. This is bad for inclusive debates because people without every technical skill or comprehensive debate knowledge are shut out of your scholarship which turns your ROB- truth testing solves because you can do what you're good at and so can I. This is also better for education because me engaging in a debate I know nothing about doesn't help anyone. o/w since it is a real-world implication in round rather than a thought experiment that doesn't do anything | 9/25/21 |
