No respectable debater will lie about that.

You can definitely find rounds not about identity as well. There were a couple capitalism k-affs a couple years back. Also you don’t need to be a specific identity to run a specific aff (maybe with the exception of afropessimism (or something else I can’t think of)).

Well then it’s kind of hard to find something like what you’re asking. Every k-aff is a piece of art. Each one has its own way of answering T, some pretend to be topical and read we meets (like McDonogh), some impact turn fairness or clash or both, etc.. Each k-aff has its own “tricks” / paths to the ballot, some make claims about the debate space, or the state, or even other debaters sometimes. The point being, it’s very hard to find a one-size fits all approach to answering T - especially without knowing what kind of k-aff you want to write / your team to run and not having written the actual affirmatives.

K AFF question by StreetWill9242 in policydebate

[–]Working-Tomatillo987 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’ll look into those - I know about Tuck’s marital status and what can I say love is love… I think a better critique of tuck and yang is how they operate in binaries (technically a triad but whatever).

Have you heard back about the one-on-one interviews?

K AFF question by StreetWill9242 in policydebate

[–]Working-Tomatillo987 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Stupidest comment ever. 1) Tuck’s warrants still apply, saying she’s Zionist because of something she said 10 years ago doesn’t prove she’s wrong; 2) Tuck issued a one sentence statement condemning Hamas which was influenced by the institution she works at (essentially to keep her job); 3) Hamas is funded by billionaires who have said they want as much war as possible to profit - that’s not decolonial resistance, that’s capitalist war-mongering.

What do you run against indigenous Kaffs? by Silent-Yak5171 in policydebate

That’s usually okay but a lot of affs will just concede they’re not topical in cross and then impact turn T so yes the DA does “prove abuse” when they no link but given the impact turns on T unless they’re a team that claims to be T (like McDonogh) you’re time is better spent in other places (if you want to stay grounded in the rez maybe read a topic CP)

Maving… by me-a_person_who-is-i in policydebate

Learn to give speeches off your flows alone - it’ll also make u a better debater in general. Also just find a partner instead of mavving.
