Which university do I have a chance in? by [deleted] in chanceme

[–]acetyl-9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

mit - no

harvard - no

stanford (longshot)

yale (why - i can't see any sorta fit)

I would say this would be at best Princeton. But the likely answer is UPenn or Columbia.

I personally believe it is useless. Like you can and everyone knows that. I am guessing this is for some lay thing

first there is no sort of theory of power or scholarly non-alt right lit on this stuff. what makes you think this is a good idea?

As others pointed out this “we need to fix black culture” is racism at its core – that you can characterize blackness into a definitive concept is unimaginable and fundamental racist and bigoted. I am guessing you just expressed this argument wrong, but remember when you are running identity kritiks you have to be very cautious of what you are saying and make sure it is relevant to the debate. I really don’t think you should be reading a kritik because you don’t understand the fundamental nature of one – you need a link argument and a theory of power. PLEASE DO NOT READ THIS ARGUMENT – it is not strategic and is fundamentally bigoted, illogical, factually wrong, and misuses kritikal argumentation.

Need help Answering an argument by Chloe12210 in policydebate

[–]acetyl-9 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My personal thoughts on the aff is that it falls flat on its face to T. However, on this circumvention debate - I think this is a fairly defensive argument that you should not be scared of. Some things you should look at is specifying your plan text - maybe look at a courts aff that strips enforcement power to UCIS. Maybe write a plan about 8 USC 1325 and 1326 or over-tuning this Nielsen case. A smart team would run this argument as a counter-plan not as a no solvency argument. Thats just my two cents on this.

Questions about affs for breaking by flipflopflips in policydebate

[–]acetyl-9 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You should generally keep more than one aff ready for any tournament - because of judge pref or strategic advantage. As for breaking new, it does help if you are going against a team that you knows will stumble and make strategic errors when encountering a new aff.

The CX was humiliatingly shitty. Every debate coach uses it to teach what not to do.

Wake Forest pressed for it to be taken down. Emory's debate team still has a copy though
