  • 1NC vs. Whitman HZ

    • Tournament: | Round: 1 | Opponent: | Judge:

    • Debate allows us to find comfort in distance from the problems that we address.  The hypothetical nature of debate makes it easy to forget that there is a very real world out there.  If we think of what is going on in MENA as a game, then we begin to filter our epistemologies through that game.  A horrible story about virginity tests at an Egyptian protest becomes inherency for the affirmative.  Hundreds of people dying in Syria last week was a good thing – it means the aff has more of an impact.

       

      The way we play this game increases the propensity for disconnection, for traditional mental machines to begin epistemologically trivializing what should be stories that keep us up at night. 

       

      Thus, instead of turning toward our traditional argumentative comfort zones to distance ourselves from that which is disturbing, shocking, inspiring, and beautiful about the topic; Ryan and I choose to make this round – one of the last of the season and of my debate career – about giving-up on this fearful inclination to retreat to the theoretical.

       

      Forget simulation of democracy assistance, lets DO IT.<ahem>

       

      I got a “leave a name and number after the beep”

      Kinda message

      A wake you up outta yo sleep

      Kinda message

      Tryna chill, need to get on yo feet

      Kinda message

      Full of b/s, you are what you eat

      Kinda message

       

      By “you are what you eat”,

      I mean you are what you buy into

      You gotta guard ya heart

      And keep a close eye on your mental

      This world will leave you with no drive

      Like a rental

      People follow, but are no longer “lead”,

      Broken pencil

      Middle East, Northern Africa

      Is where we see the problem

      Bombs dropped on Homs

      Assad is tryna solve em

      But no shots are stopped

      And no lives are saved

      Until we fight power

      With power

      Give people the center stage

      Im amazed

      At all the ways

      The US is in cahoots

      Like when our money bought the guns

      That sponsored Mubarak’s troops

      Give people no right to live

      They practice the right to die

      Oppressed, hot like the 4th

      Cuz they already know July

      No lie

      Imspittin truth

      Fight thru it,

      Im living proof

      Send HIP HOP to the region

      To re-empower the youth

      I got a “leave a name and number after the beep”

      Kinda message

      A wake you up outta yo sleep

      Im fareal when I tell you
        This is no time to chill

      Cuz if we’re not willing to do it

      China or Russia will

      You’re probably thinkin right now

      “Are you serious? Why us?”

      Debate cant send HIP HOP

      This is gonna be too tough

      But pushing limits, a must

      Innovation is us

      But we need people to say

      <Ryan> “Ay, enough is enough”

      Ayat al Cormezi

      Arrested in Pearl Square

      No beat behind it

      But the spoken word was there

      In rare form,

      So therefore,

      Im implored,

      To do same.

      What im seeing everyday

      Is what I hear about in Bahrain

      So we wont leave it alone

      We’re meeting you in the middle

      Hope I’m not making it hard

      And I don’t fiddle with with riddles

      Its simple.

      Send HIP HOP

       

       

       

       

      Send HIP HOP to the Master

      Send HIP HOP to the Slave

      Send it to the well-mannered

      And the ones who wont behave

      For some, its all they got

      And they gon take it to the  grave

      By CHOICE or by FORCE

      You gon hear what we gotta say

       

      Robin Wright 2011

      Robin B. Wright is an American foreign affairs analyst, and an award-winning journalist and author. “The Hip-Hop Rhythm of Arab Revolt: Muslim rappers have become a surprising source of dissent and protest”

      7/23 http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424053111903554904576457872435064258.html?mod=lifestyle_newsreel

       

      In November 2010, a young Tunisian… while she is performing.

       

       

      Now, what kind of message

      Should not be considered equal?

      Any message not designed

      To wake up a sleeping people

      Cuz they poppin everybody

      Bustin caps at the babies,

      Slitting throats of the men

      Droppin bombs on the ladies

      Updates to Twitter

      Picture to Book of Faces

      It’s one thing to have a dream

      But it’s another thing to chase it

      Complacent and so detached

      Discussions are sterilized

      The standards for these discussions

      Leave politics paralyzed

      Society in demise

      And I feel you more than you think

      Whole block get sprayed up

      Kill a 5 year old in her sleep

      Government aint listening

      Issues bigger than Michigan

      Soon as you think they fixed it

      They go around and they switch again

       

      So you need a “a name and number after the beep”

      Kinda message

      Keep fightin even when you feel weak

      Kinda message

      The more they silence you, the louder you speak

      Kinda message

      Because its time to take it back to the streets

      Kinda message

      Send HIP HOP

      Our interp - The Aff must performatively increase Democracy Assistance to the Middle East or North Africa. The body, not the plan, should be the focus of the debate.

       

      B. Violation - The affirmative does not actually increase democracy assistance to MENA - they merely present a plan for how the USFG might increase democracy assistance.

       

      C. Vote Neg

      1. Presumption - The affirmative does nothing. Voting affirmative in this debate will not produce the advantages discussed.

       

      2. Limits - There are an infinite amount of potential plans and policy proposals that the affirmative could fiat, but there are a limited amount of ways the bodies in this debate could increase democracy assistance.

       

      3. Predictability - Our interpretation means the negative only has to defend what they, or the other team, does in the debate and not some random harm indentified like hegemony, economic collapse or whiteness. The USFG is inherently unpredictable. Body politics are not.

       

      4. Education.

      a. Topic Specific Education - Aff interpretation encourages bad debate, including conditionality, plan-inclusive counterplans, international fiat, process pics, and a host of other bad debates.

       

      b. Activism good - plan focus requires that we invest our advocacy in bureaucratic institions as opposed to individuals. This agency displacement produces bad citizens who are slaves to the state.

       

      5. Fairness

      a. Ground - Aff interpretation destroys our disad ground based on individual action and force us to defend USFG inaction. They make it impossible to be negative.

       

      b. Marginal voices DA - requiring a discussion of USFG policy instead of individual action marginalizes participants who’s views are not excluded from the policy making process. The impact is psychological violence and the refusal and subsequent death of the minority subject in debate.

       

      These are all voting issues for obvious reasons.
