The aff is an extension of America’s schizophrenic approach to democracy – empirically the U.S. will turn its back on the project when it no longer suites its needs.

 The comment of the... it’s unacceptable if it doesn’t.

The schizophrenia of the United States makes is maintained by the illusions created by the elites to maintain control. Their aff will change and become coopted making its failure inevitable. The state cannot be involved to achieve any actual solvency.

Marshall 2010 (Andrew, Research Associate with the Centre for Research on Globalization, “Yemen a convert apparatus of The American Empire”, http://www.bibliotecapleyades.net/sociopolitica/sociopol_globalmilitarism67.htm, Vance)

These illusions operate under the benevolent image of “bringing democracy” is the guise used to maintain the racist, sexist, neoliberal, militaristic foreign policy.

Metaphors of existence symbolize variegated aspects of the

mega-crisis that we are concerned about.

Thus the alternative: Reject the affirmative for engaging in Historical Engineering.

The affirmative participates in the process of Historical Engineering, which fails to take into account the past – This guarantees error replication. This false “change of course” inevitability causes a continuation of the violence by the state. Only by rejecting the aff is it possible for democracy to proliferate naturally.

Chomsky 1989 (Noam Chomsky, author and Institute Professor Emeritus at MIT, “The Culture of Terrorism”, http://prernalal.com/scholar/Noam%20Chomsky%20-%20The%20Culture%20of%20Terrorism.pdf, Vance)

The United States federal government should increase civil society cooperation for Egypt through incorporation of participatory gender dialogues.

The word “ASSISTANCE” – is an intentional choice with consequences – it shapes the meaning of the offer and promotes a passive and paternalistic conception of people – it is part of the larger development narrative.  Cooperation is better.

Ethics feeds off of the proximity of the suffering Other and secretly relies on the continuation of that suffering to justify furthering ethical ideology. The impact is that ethics entails the power to decide who lives and who dies, ensuring massive violence in the name of ethics.

We should be more struck than we usually

, or the courage of truths from nihilism.

The Ethics the affirmative represent are a reconstruction of the status quo as we engage in seeking the helping the Other and never analyze the truth of our situation, this creates a death drive to achieve something that can never be obtained.
