The process of becoming more fully human is in the hands of those who revolt against oppressive conditions, re-affirming not only their own ontology but that of the oppressor.

CHAPTER ONE IS THE ILLEGALITY OF CONFLICT

CIVIL SOCIETY NECESSITATES CONFLICT BETWEEN DIFFERENT, OPPOSING, AND ANTAGONISTIC ACTORS WHO HAVE THE FREEDOM TO DIFFERENTIATE

FLYVBJERG 98 [Bent, The British Journal of Sociology, Volume 49, No. 2, June, “Habermas and Foucault: Thinkers for Civil Society, p. 231-233]

Generally, conflicts have been … at its centre, as Foucault does and Habermas does not.

THE ILLEGALITY OF EGYPTIAN DISSENT AND CONFLICT EPITOMIZES THE SECURITY IMPERATIVE THAT SEEKS TO ABOLISH ANTAGONISM

CHAPTER TWO THE ILLEGALITY OF DISSENT

PART 1 IS THE SCHOLARLY CESS POOL

1.       The resolution asks that we talk about hypothetical worlds, but doesn’t care about how we as individuals can make changes. We become satisfied with armchair activism and debaters don’t actually have to advocate anything.

Zizek-2008- Slavoj- Actor in Slovenian cinematic depiction of “Where the Wild Things Are” - Violence - p. 6-8

Does this recourse to artistic …unnecessarily dying of dysentery?"

Topicality arguments don’t make sense in the face of this. The context from which they stem is educationally bankrupt based on the current apparatus.

2.      Our systems of judging discourses were built to arbitrarily exclude individuals that were not raised to speak a certain way, and to control what “proper” speech sounds like. This only forces people out of our community and excludes relevant scholarly prospective of the oppressed.

Shelton K. Hill wrote an article on Black participation in 97 that expressed many concerns from black debaters about the predominately white community. He concluded

Debate, like the public speaking classroom is …mage of African Americans.

3.        We have been asked to discuss and accept pre-determined representations of people living in poverty in the topic literature, and  all of this is to be determined through the view of some federal government and  its--- international organizations that give aid only when those brown bodies they control become an overwhelming inconvenience  ,

Thus , in the face of the resolution, Elijah and I perform

Part 2:

This is an advocacy that is real. It does not exist within the substance of the current order but within the structures which we as micro-political actors can change.
