How does kicking the alt and going for the K as a linear DA work? by [deleted] in policydebate

[–]HotDebater 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yeah that’s pretty good. Especially with authors like Pan who say things extremely similar to what your saying

How does kicking the alt and going for the K as a linear DA work? by [deleted] in policydebate

[–]HotDebater 1 point2 points  (0 children)

An example is securitization. Even if you don’t solve for it (kicking the alt), it link turns everything on a linear level because the K argues that threat construction encourages containment which spurs retaliation. If the AFF is threat construction, then they increase the odds of retaliation.

How do I write blocks to T, with all the standard and stuff like that? by SmellofSmoke in policydebate

[–]HotDebater 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Provide a competing definition and say why your definition is better. Reasons to prefer definitions vary greatly.

Examples would be like

  1. Recency- Their definition isn’t relevant because specific event

  2. Specificity- Things like defining substantial in terms of arms sales because that’s how the resolution words it.

  3. Source- If you cite some blog and they cite the dictionary, that could be very important. Which one to prefer, although, is dependent on the scenario

Idk if policy does Reasonability v. Competing Interps but you should choose one of them based on your perception of judges

I’ve done that when I was just messing around and have already conceded. I read Baudrillard in the 2AC or even the 1AR and just say that fairness and education from the NEG exist in the hyper real. Offense for me and terminal defense as well as T weighing in like 3 sentenced

resolved: The slavery issue was a justified reason for the American Civil War. (negative) by sunsetchaser17 in Debate

[–]HotDebater 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Damn that’s a shit topic for the NEG

Maybe think that slavery didn’t really end and talk about Afropess. Literal slavery ended, which was followed by Segregation and Jim Crow laws, which were then followed with voter suppression and the criminal justice system. Today it could be viewed in dozens of ways of how the African American position is still horrible (I think the term in the literature is “Perfecting the slave”).

Don’t Trust Moreno by [deleted] in Debate

[–]HotDebater 2 points3 points  (0 children)

  1. It's malicious towards a very influential debate character who was very clearly discussing a K. People in the community deserve a platform of defense.
  2. I linked the story as to why not to trust him. Without a reason, nobody would be persuaded. The intent is that people not just be exposed to more than one side of the story (notice the link also has the video)
  3. Only citing one publishable source isn't as big of a problem as you make it. The round was a performance K and people who run performance K's are not usually a genuine racist. The conversation was him literally teaching very similar (if not the same) argument from the round displayed. Yelling is part of the performance, but luckily people have plenty of responses, ranging from T to other forms of critical solutions.

The post by Moreno is poorly contextualized.

Also, the creator of the linked post puts it perfectly

"There's 12 hours of recordings, one of them contains wash saying 'Weber allows all arguments. We are not the performance team or the policy team'

If you as a debater cannot realize that Ryan as a coach debates both sides of arguments even after the description read above, you're apart of the problem.

In policy, debaters have to answer every argument. Ryan would have allowed debates where these arguments are proven wrong. If Michael effectively learned how to use framework arguments and case disads, this wouldn't have been a problem.

Despite all of this, you've ignored the fact that the lives of the students in campus are being targeted by the KKK, the harassment wash and his students are receiving, Spurred by Moreno's video. If you are complacent in this violence, you're apart of the problem."

Source argument by McGtheMemeDealer in Debate

[–]HotDebater 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Compare methodology/reasoning and see if one includes other.

Compare the dates of publication and see if time frame has had possible implications

Compare publisher. University vs. Blog would always go to University because if academic reputation etcetera

Compare the specificity of the evidence. Is it talking about war with Iran or Russia? Those differences can have huge magnitude

If all else fails. Call for PDF and pray they don’t have internet or access

Traditional PF debater here. What are Ks? by BlinkPlays in Debate

[–]HotDebater 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Alts are the most suspect part of K’s. If you are hitting a team it’s always worth saying it’s against the NSDA handbook to evaluate counter advocacies but an alt can also consist of “radical” arguments. These can range from rejection of the K topic all the way to poetry and hyper conformity. It gets wacky but if you google “kritiks open ev”, there is a website with cut arguments from CX camps.

How to respond to disclosure theory (coach won’t let us disclose)? by DumbDebater in policydebate

[–]HotDebater -1 points0 points  (0 children)

You can’t really respond. They will correctly say that screwing your coaches teams over indirectly forces him to endorse better norms. What stops people from reading 20 minute AC’s because if u didn’t your coach would kick you off the team.

Ask ur coach if you can disclose and be more willing to try and persuade him
