Give Back the Land CP

Counterplan Text: The United States Federal Government should give itself and all its land back to the Native Americans

OR

The judge should abolish the United States Federal government

The aff presupposes the legitimacy and asserts the necessity of the United States to solve for their advocacy which masks and further embeds its genocidal legacy which underlies all structural violence====

Churchill in ‘96
(Ward Churchill, 1996, Professor of Ethnic Studies at University of Colorado, Boulder, BA and MA in Communications from Sangamon State, From A Native Son pgs 520 – 530)

I’ll debunk some of this nonsense in a moment, but first I want to
AND
, sexist, classist, homophobic, militaristic order on non-Indians.

Silence is the worst kind of violence; we create wars of destruction and countless social ills each day we don’t give back the land

Schwab - 06  [Gabriele, “Writing against memory and forgetting” Literature and Medicine 25.1 (2006) 95-121]

Human beings have always silenced violent histories. Some histories, collective and personal,
AND
and reparation. Many theories, including psychoanalysis, concur with this assumption.

The aff is wasted energy – fighting particular battles without changing the way the economy works means nothing really changes – the aff just obscures the logic of capitalism

Zizek, ’99 (Slavoj, Senior Researcher and professor at the Institute for Social Studies, Ljubljana, The Ticklish Subject, page 352-355)

The big news of today’s post-political age of the ‘end of ideology’

more than ever caught in an inexorable compulsion that effectively runs his life.

Vote neg on ethics - resisting this reliance on economic evaluation is the ultimate ethical responsibility

Zizek and Daly 2004
(Slavoj, professor of philosophy at the Institute for Sociology, Ljubljana, and Glyn, Senior Lecturer in Politics in the Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences at University College, Northampton, Conversations with Zizek, page 14-16)

For Zizek it is imperative that we cut through this Gordian knot of postmodern protocol
AND
abject Other to that of a ‘glitch’ in an otherwise sound matrix.

The alternative is to withdraw from the ideology of capital. Capitalism only survives because we believe it is a truth claim.

Johnston ’04 (Adrian, interdisciplinary research fellow in psychoanalysis at Emory, The Cynic’s Fetish: Slavoj Zizek and the Dynamics of Belief, Psychoanalysis, Culture and Society)

Perhaps the absence of a detailed political roadmap in Žižek’s recent writings isn’t a
AND
comforting fiction (‘‘Capitalist commodity fetishism or the truth? I choose fetishism’’).

Whiteness K

Repairing the ecological asychronies is necessary to disrupt whiteness, Environmental injustices are rooted within white supremacy , the logic that led to slavery and apartheid is the same logic that exploits and destroys ecosystems

Next is the impact debate

Double Bind: Either their impacts happen and they were an inevitable part of God’s plan, or they won’t happen, either way we have nothing to fear if we trust God
No net benefit to trusting human predictions, Gods plan takes into account every contingency

The Bible says that it is easier to put a camel through the eye of a needle than it is for a wealthy individual to enter into heaven.  Capitalism is a theory that makes profit the exclusive norm and ultimate end of economic activity and is morally unacceptable.
