Focus on subjective violence and easily identifiable flashpoints of conflict misses the boat – only focusing on the background or objective violence can solve root cause – cannot be viewed from the same stand point – the call to act will be strong but responding creates a stop-gap which prevents engaging in criticisms of capital  
Zizek 2008 Slavoj Violence p 1-4
If there is a unifying … distance out of respect towards its victims.

Their humanist project is the greatest excuse for totalitarian violence. In the name of advancing the progress of humanity we are able to exonerate all responsibility for our action onto the will of the Big Other.
Zizek 2009 How to Read Lacan, The Perverse Subject of Politics http://www.lacan.com/essays/?p=186
This passage throws a new light … of inflicting pain on others.

Resisting reliance on economic evaluation is the ultimate ethical responsibility – the current social order guarantees social exclusion on a global scale
Zizek and Daly 2k4 (Slavoj and Glyn, Conversations with Zizek page 14-16)
For Zizek it is imperative … in an otherwise sound matrix. 

Market based approaches make ecological capitalism impossible – their reliance on economic incentives assures fast warming and extinction
Harriss-White, Professor of Development Studies, Oxford, 2006  Barbara Undermining Sustainable Capitalism: The Market-Driven Politics of Renewable Energy socialistregister.com/socialistregister.com/files/ecolbhweh19Oct06.doc
Fossil energy underwrites and saturates … poor people tread with small ecological footprints.

Capital is the root cause of all of their impacts – you should denounce their simply relationship with violence because the system of capital produces the material reality which makes violence inevitable
Zizek 2008 Slavoj Violence p 11-12
There is an old joke … what matters is the situation of capital.

Demand for urgency is a product of hypocritical outrage meant to extend the privilege of global capitalism – our alternative is to do nothing in the face of the affirmative  
Zizek 2008 Slavoj Violence p 6-8
Let’s think abou t … what causes this violence.

Our alternative is to completely withdraw from the ideology of capital – this is essential to destroy the fetish that allows capital to survive

FRAMEWORK
A) INTERPRETATION – The Aff must advocate a USFG policy that increases democracy assistance.

1. The topic is defined by the phrase following the colon—the USFG is the agent of the resolution, not the individual debaters
   Webster’s Guide to Grammar and Writing 2k
   . 

2. Resolved proves the framework for the resolution is to enact a policy.
Wordsand Phrases 1964Permanent Edition 

3.‘Should’denotes an expectation the aff will be enacted.
American Heritage Dictionary 2k

4.The USFG is the government in Washington D.C.
Encarta Online Encyclopedia 2k http://encarta.msn.com
“The federal government of the United States is centered in Washington DC”

B.  Violation:  The Aff doesn’t defend the USFG increasing democracy assistance
 

C.  Reasons to prefer

1. Competition

A.  Its key to growth, our argument isn’t just fairness, we say debate should be a sight for antagonism
Yovel 03 Jonathan Yovel  Yale Law School; University of Haifa - Faculty of Law Cardozo Law Review, Vol. 24, pp. 635-662, 2003  HALF-WRITTEN LAWS: NIETZSCHE AND LEGAL THEORY, Peter Goodrich and Mariana Velvedere, eds., Routledge 2005 http://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=950742
Nietzsche FW 1NC
B. Arbitrary interpretations are inevitable and good; we must enforce and interpretations grounded in the community to allow for agonism
Ramaeker 01 STEFAN RAMAEKERS assistant professor at Laboratory for Education and Society Journal of Philosophy 0f Education, Vol. 35, No. 2, 2001 “Teaching to Lie and Obey: Nietzsche on Education “http:www.wehavephotoshop.com/PHILOSOPHY%20NOW/PHILOSOPHY/Nietzsche/Nietzsche%20On%20Education.pdf
Nietzsche FW 1NC

2.  Extra T:  Even if the Aff claims to expand visa policy they claim benefits from the personal advocacy which allows them unpredictable advantages like spike outs.  Independent voter for competitive equity.

3.  Ground rooted in tradition is a prerequisite to political engagement—
Arendt, 2k5 (Hannah, The Promise of Politics , p. 41-2)
4.  Aff conditionality: The affirmative’s advocacy statement is unclear whether or not it includes USFG action.  This allows 2AC clarification which destroys our ability to get stable offence in the 1NC.  Any uncertainly over whether they meet our interpretation is not a risk that they meet but a reason to reject for Aff conditionality.  Independent voter for competitive equity.

5. We shouldn’t ascribe a telos to debate.  It doesn’t change anything in the real world all the education can be gained from reading, the value to debate is the aesthetics of the struggle
