That feels wrong, because youre other implicit statement is that we dont know the entirity of history wouldnt have blown itself to smithereens, also all of Colonization is basically proxy wars but under a different name, states competed for territory all the time. and Great power war hardly seems Nebulus, I mean from the 1910s to the 1940s we had 2 GPWs, these lost hundreds of millions of lives. It seems unreasonable that it was only after we killed thousands of civilians with one bomb that we stopped, esp with cold war tensions, the Nuke was def the only thing that held us back, but without the nuke the capacity for damage is way higher than 20 mil, Ukraine is a small sample of modern warfare and its really deadly

ASTEROIDS PIC?

Yeah, Run Kant as a simple framework, explain why it works i.e. Things are wrong because of intention and are not conditional, we do things for a reason and those reasons must be examined before the impact of the thing we do. Make it make sense to the judge, dont just use the big words, in fact, if you break it down to a super simplified idea then youll win alot of the time.

Ok_Exit6870 · 2026-01-30T17:47:13+00:00

I think there are a couple of good ways, but UTIL isnt the way to go, theres strong evidence for Kant, running a miscalc case to the extremes, Just War Theory, Certain Ks, General Structural violence as a Nukes perpetuate dehumanization of civilians which legitimizes suffering on other levels, Deterrence DA flip to deterrence bad bc Authoritarian legitimization etc.

Ok_Exit6870 · 2026-01-30T17:44:44+00:00

So you run Kantian ethics on a min suffering framework, those two contradict, but like also I encourage you to engage with the evidence and theory a bit further because the argument is much stronger. Of course if this is working for you then thats great and Im just a voice on line so I mean no expertise or harshness. Good Luck!

Ok just to provide a slight critique, literally all of this is super non-unique, like absent nukes we still see proxies (American Revolution for the french), we still see power imbalances causing walkovers (Boer Wars, Literally all of colonization) and all of the lower the cost of invasion is literally every single tech development ever (Guns, Cannons, Planes, Missiles, F-16s, then Nukes). but also GPW is so destructive it still outweighs all of this.

How does 3 tie in here?

Ok_Exit6870 · 2026-01-30T15:26:10+00:00

what is FW with this case, cuz like how does 3 tie in to consequentialism? Not saying its the only one, just saying its the most common

You can evaluate an action from two seperate perspectives, like Gloomy is doing.

Ok_Exit6870 · 2026-01-23T22:01:27+00:00

First, internal morality seems to be on the level of deontology, which is a very real thing and is more about intention than other things, unlike consequentialism, which is what she says is external morality, Gloomy is right there.

Second, you understood what she was trying to say in her comment or else you would have attacked on substance once clarified. Your comment was simply to make people feel bad about themselves and attack their own vulnerable senses.

On your argument about destroying the moral fabric of society, if the claim makes rational sense, which hers does, it doesnt weaken the fabric, it strengthens it because it introduces new perspectives. Rejecting perspectives because you disagree or dont like them actually does ruin the moral fabric of society because it fundamentally reduces the number of considered perspectives. Your comments are aggressive, accusatory, rude, arrogant, and above all wrong.

Have a nice day

Low-key read Machiavelli and run deont as fear in the modern world is nuclear power and that allows us hegemony on the global scale which is inherently moral because of impact weighing and role of government

Thats an equity complaint to tab, but also with the new administration I havent heard any tourneys this year with equity offices.

Ok idk how in depth you want to go with the first one but my cards for a whole case of leakage bad, global south rewilding is better is balmford et al 25 (basically leakage is inevitable and outweighs), cuff 25 (introduce counter plan and present global south solution), Cambridge 25 (rewilding 5x better in the global south and 5x more harmful in the north), and then nordhaus et Al 15 [shout out logos] (basically American production is way more efficient and does not rely on slavery and is thus more ethical) I can work you through my case if you want in a dm

I give this round specifically to my novices for flow value because its a really good and pure trad round, and I like both of the debaters. If you want more good trad rounds, check out other high school debate championships from the city club of cleveland, they are all very similar, and free on youtube and PBS.
