The affirmative's neoliberal rationality attempts to molarize an image of the proper subject that locks the soul into stasis and guarantees economic collapse and transition wars - the impact is social death
Bifo 2011
(Franco Berardi, Professor of Social History and Communication at the Academia di belle Arti in Milan and Founder of A/Traverse, After the Future, ed. Genesko%26Thoburn, AKPress, p. 141-47)

More than ever, economic rationality… …fabric of language and imagination.

This focus on rational economic science has created a bloodthirsty form of capitalism that erases affective engagements with desire and makes violence inevitable - neoliberalism constantly produces crisis to rationalize its capacity for control - this makes the destruction of all life the very impulse of the economy

Tournament: UNLV | Round: 1 | Opponent: Kansas FS | Judge: Dan Stout
The affirmative is premised on an ideal of completeness that tries to unite the apparent world with its ideal twin – this posits a Will to Truth that frames difference as negative insecurity and attempts to order and annihilate the world as-is. This breeds ressentiment and contempt for life.
Saurette 96

According to Nietzsche, the philosophical… …fundamental philosophical principle of modernity. 

It’s always possible to locate some external threat to world order – our understanding of the human condition is chaos, flux, instability and difference – denial of this fundamental Truth is life denying and only produces more insecurity.

Der Derian 93
(James, professor of political science at the University of Massachusetts-Amherst and professor of IR at Brown, 1993, "The Political Subject of Violence", ed. David Campbell and Michael Dillon, p. 101-105)

One must begin with Nietzsche’s idea… …calculation of risks and benefits.

Trying to predict cataclysmic events and prepare for them only makes them more likely – there’s a failure of imagination built into our systems of security logic that causes the State to rationalize events that it didn’t predict, resulting in totalitarian crackdowns and bad policy-making
Der Derian 5
(James, professor of political science at the University of Massachusetts-Amherst and professor of IR at Brown, "National Security: An Accident Waiting to Happen", 2005)

It often takes a catastrophe… …total war by other means.

The alternative is to reject the 1AC as an act of ontological vulnerability.
Picture all of their destruction raining down upon you and decide how you would act in lieu of that Armageddon. This is the only means for true peace.

Warming - It's not a managerial impact. Nuclear infrastructure releases CO2. Reduction in CO2 emissions will be outweighed by a growth in consumption. 14 parts per million away from tipping point, we can't prevent. Apocalyptic framing of warming makes impact inevitable because it is easily dismissed.
Russia - aff frames Russia as an object of the West. Cooperation is expected, noncooperation is met with punishment - turns case.
Uranium - even in a world of excess, framing things as scarce can still cause war and conflict.
2NR Strat:
Warming - 1AR's reframing is too late. Aff doesn't replace coal. Their arguments are just defense. Their framing of apocalyptic rhetoric leads to public disbelief.
Uranium - K turns the advantage because their framing leads to militarism. They're conceding that impact turn is triggered by framing Russia as stingy.

Friedman touted the NIF -proliferation dangers this would entail. 

This collusion of power-knowledge in the military-academic complex has produced a domination of strategic studies and scientific circles by the expanding realm of the military – this erases accountability for violence and denies the importance of the ethical questions behind the technology we develop.

This community is itself composed of a military-strategic studies complex that overwrites history and actively participates in fueling a banal geopolitics of militarist violence that acts as architecture for Empire, while simultaneously apologizing for its consequences.

I want to conclude more positively, however, by suggesting ways to effectively oppose them. As an academic working in political geography, a key starting point of resistance - is as urgent as ever.

Do not evaluate this like any other debate argument.  We are asking you an ethical question: What do you want your community to look like? 

Rejecting the affirmative’s production of knowledge in THIS academic space is key to inculcate a language of critique that reclaims public spaces from the militarization of knowledge – this is not about offense and defense or weighing the case – this is a pass/fail gateway issue.

Class issues restrict legal solutions to environmental justice problems

Much of the liberal literature also explores the regressive dynamic of the energy industry and
AND
principles such as democratisation, political equality and freedom of civil society.67
Yet such well-meaning recommendations often do not lead to sufficiently strong policy action
AND
would in turn culminate in many of the IPCC’s more catastrophic scenarios.69
This calls into question the efficacy of longstanding recommendations – such as Klare’s – that
AND
they overlook the structural and systemic causes of resource depletion and environmental degradation.
Although neoliberalism shares neorealism’s assumptions about the centrality of the state as a unitary rational
AND
an unquestionable ’given’, itself not subject to debate or reform.72
The focus is on developing the most optimal ways of maximising exploitation of the biophysical
AND
how global political economic structures consistently undermine the establishment of effective environmental regimes.

By acting with righteous indignation at the harms of environmental degradation, we avoid asking the harder fundamental questions of consumption patterns generally. This guts solvency for the case because it is these patterns that are the root cause of environmental destruction.

Questions of guilt…fear of reprisal. 

Externalizing moral wrongs makes all violence possible.

The danger is…evil of humankind. 

The plan legitimizes the existing state of affairs while appearing to correct I t—the aff is a form of redemption that alleviates collective guilt while producing only minor reforms to the system.
