***THE SCHIZOPHRENIC MASOCHIST 1AC***
Let the experiment commence!
Gilles Deleuze, Felix Guattari ‘87 (Gilles Deleuze is an ex-professor of philosophy @ the University of Vincennes, Felix Guattari studied under Jacques Lacan @ the psychiatric clinic of La Borde, Co-Authors, Translation by Brian Massumi, A Thousand Plateaus: Capitalism and Schizophrenia, p. 150//Aaron)
"You never reach the Bod without Organs...will not let you experiment in peace."
Ohhh the Obstacles!
Gilles Deleuze, Felix Guattari ‘87 (Gilles Deleuze is an ex-professor of philosophy @ the University of Vincennes, Felix Guattari studied under Jacques Lacan @ the psychiatric clinic of La Borde, Co-Authors, Translation by Brian Massumi, A Thousand Plateaus: Capitalism and Schizophrenia, p. 159-60//Aaron)
"Let us consider the three great strata...otherwise you're just a tramp."
I guess we’ll explain a little bit, but NO PROMISES!

"What does out mean to disarticulate...tearing the body away from the organism."
It’s better we show you!

"At night put on the bridle and attach my hands more tightly...give the beast a good thrashing."
"...What is this masochist doing?...the horse and the mistress."
"Results to br obtained: that I am kept...as an imprint or zone a BwO."
The RISKS!

"Caution is the art common to all three...and I have believed in them."
And I can hear the resolution’s torturous screams!
Gilles Deleuze, Felix Guattari ‘87 (Gilles Deleuze is an ex-professor of philosophy @ the University of Vincennes, Felix Guattari studied under Jacques Lacan @ the psychiatric clinic of La Borde, Co-Authors, Translation by Brian Massumi, A Thousand Plateaus: Capitalism and Schizophrenia, p. 158-9//Aaron)
"We come to the gradual realization...They've stolen my body!"
Ignoring the resolution’s screams transforms the stratum into cancerous tissue – the organism nails us down to the stratum, significance blocks the circulation of signs and subjectification destroys the distinction between subjects.
Gilles Deleuze, Felix Guattari ‘87 (Gilles Deleuze is an ex-professor of philosophy @ the University of Vincennes, Felix Guattari studied under Jacques Lacan @ the psychiatric clinic of La Borde, Co-Authors, Translation by Brian Massumi, A Thousand Plateaus: Capitalism and Schizophrenia, p. 162-3//Aaron)
"for the BwO already exists in the strata...remaining distinction between subjects."
The duplication and multiplication of this cancerous tissue results in the creation of a socio-cancer that destroys the debate space and the political through an irreversible process of stratification.
Baudrillard 90 (Jean, Prof of Phil of Culture and Media Criticism at EGS, Seduction, p 171-2//Aaron)
"Behind this reversal lies the incursion of a technology that...or the same signals."
Affirming or negating this sort of socio-cancer fails to reconstitute the debate space as a plane of consistency and condemns both the individual and the political to a state of suicidal collapse and catastrophic death.

"There are, in fact, several ways of botching...down on us heavier than ever.."
So as an act of destratification, Rutgers ________ affirms each individual word of as a plateau to reconstitute the resolution as a Body without Organs and establish the debate space as a plane of consistency upon which the BwO lies.
[[The 2AR walks around the room while the 1AC is affirming ach word an posts each piece of paper, each with a different word of the rez on it, on the room’s walls]

"The plane of consistency is not simply...including the cancerous or empty bodies."
But why?
Gilles Deleuze, Felix Guattari ‘87 (Gilles Deleuze is an ex-professor of philosophy @ the University of Vincennes, Felix Guattari studied under Jacques Lacan @ the psychiatric clinic of La Borde, Co-Authors, Translation by Brian Massumi, A Thousand Plateaus: Capitalism and Schizophrenia, p. 160-1//Aaron)
"You have to keep enough of the organism...the organization of the organs we call the organism."
We destratify the resolution to usher in a state of constant becoming – the 1AC is an act of schizoanalysis that abandons the tonal for the nagual in order to dissolve subjectivity. This is the only point of entry into the political.
Gilles Deleuze, Felix Guattari ‘87 (Gilles Deleuze is an ex-professor of philosophy @ the University of Vincennes, Felix Guattari studied under Jacques Lacan @ the psychiatric clinic of La Borde, Co-Authors, Translation by Brian Massumi, A Thousand Plateaus: Capitalism and Schizophrenia, p. 161//Aaron)
"The tonal seems to cover many...affects and experiences movements, speeds."
Every question of solvency is a substratum that assures catastrophic collapse of the political and death of the individual. Instead you should evaluate the debate by determining who best constructs the debate space as plane of consistency. This is the only way to gauge who affirms life by offering an avenue into the political.

"What is the nature of this totality?...doubles will triumph."
***SO SEDUCTIVE 1AC***
We are faced with a crisis of identity and disinheritance—in a time of increased banalization and technicization, speaking of “successful” integration in terms of some indefinable notion of being America is to signal its lack of reality. Advocates of liberalizing democracy assistance and their opponents align themselves to a metaphysical quest to re-establish a lost center to humanness.
Baudrillard 6 (Jean, Prof of Phil of Culture and Media Crit @ EGS, The Pyres of Autumn, New Left Review 37, Jan-FebAaron)
Some debaters try to rouse the indifferent masses of the debate space into frenzied activity by invoking a panoply of survival issues—ecology, terrorism, and nuclear weapons—because they place value in an obsessive desire to survive.
Baudrillard 89 (Jean, Prof of Phil of Culture and Media Criticism at European Graduate School, America, p 42-4Aaron)
The demarcation between life and death is constructed—the exclusion of death is the ultimate exclusion that takes life hostage and condemns it to degradation
Baudrillard 93 (Jean, Prof of Phil of Culture and Media Criticism at EGS, The Symbolic Exchange and Death, p 126-7Aaron)
Orienting ourselves as enlightened liberal subjects is the flip side of the same coin. Their metaphysical blackmail portrays the strategy of the object as Evil while glorifying the strategy of the subject of knowledge that tries to intervene in the politics surrounding democracy assistance. But, it isn’t the subject that wills the world into existence but rather the object that seduces it—privileging the subject fails and fuels self-hatred through repression.
Baudrillard 90 (Jean, Professor of Philosophy of Culture and Media Criticism at the European Graduate School, Fatal Strategies, p. 111-13Aaron)
Subjective illusions like agency and responsibility are invoked to persuade us to break free of spectatorship. But this turns liberation into a duty—when we are answerable only to ourselves we lose the symbolic freedom provided by the voluntary servitude of gaming.
Baudrillard 5 (Jean, Prof of Phil of Culture and Media Criticism at EGS, Intelligence of Evil, p 50-5Aaron)
The subjects’ drive to purify us of Evil by making us answerable only to ourselves breeds ressentiment because we confine ourselves to a victim economy and wallow in misfortune
Baudrillard ‘5 (Jean, Prof of Phil of Culture and Media Criticism at EGS, Intelligence of Evil, p 151-4Aaron)
The liberal expectation that people should be answerable for every aspect of their current situation is one that mirrors the process of democracy assistance—the USFG and its allies force their subjects to participate in a confessionary complex where they must leverage their identities against the benign image of democracy itself. This forces the liquidation of radical alterity—this is self-servitude par excellance
Baudrillard 93 (Jean, Prof of Phil at EGS, The Transparency of Evil, p 165Aaron)
This replaces difference with images of the same and results in annihilation
Baudrillard 96 (Jean, Professor of Philosophy of Culture and Media Criticism at the European Graduate School, The Perfect Crime, p. 112-4Aaron)
Rutgers PK affirm—
Resolved: the United States Federal Government should substantially increase its democracy assistance for one or more of the following: Bahrain, Egypt, Libya, Syria, Tunisia, Yemen.
Instrumental affirmation is impossible—even if meaning is fixed in the short-term, in the long-term it is oversaturated with meanings and can’t have a particular trajectory
Baudrillard 81 (Jean, Professor of Phil of Culture and Media Criticism at the European Graduate School, Simulacra and Simulation, p. 16-17Aaron)
The rule of symbolic exchange is to return the world and language as we received it: enigmatic and aphoristic. Instead of imposing truths upon the resolution as subjects, we affirm as objects seduced by the resolution. Our affirmation of the resolution is meaningless and participates in the very form and intelligence of evil
Baudrillard 5 (Jean, Prof of Phil of Culture and Media Criticism at EGS, Intelligence of Evil, p 207-13Aaron)
Subjectivity and power relations aren’t inevitable—neither are real power until you concede to the truth claims that give them power
Baudrillard 90 (Jean, Prof of Phil of Culture and Media Criticism at EGS, Seduction, p 48-9Aaron)
Evaluate arguments by determining the mode of existence that serves as their principle for debaters in a discursive activity. Instead of falling back on transcendental values that attempt to resuscitate the political in the activity, endorse the strategy of the object as a joyous gesture.
Baudrillard 90 (Jean, Professor of Philosophy of Culture and Media Criticism at the EGS, Fatal Strategies, p. 98-99Aaron)
No risk of co-option—our discourse can’t be mobilized because we are de-linked from the social
Baudrillard 83 (Jean, Prof of Phil of Culture and Media Criticism at EGS, In the Shadow of Silent Majorities, p 26-8Aaron)
