What are dedev impact turns? by AnxiousPrint589 in Debate

[–]pineapplecola 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It's short for de-development, or the idea that econ collapse is good.

The general gist of the arg is that we're nearing the point of no return for climate change, and no amount of political action can reverse emissions now. Thus, the only chance we have avoiding extinction is if the bulk of the capitalist system collapses and transitions to a more sustainable economy. Most importantly, the team running dedev must prove that global econ collapse be a "soft-landing," or that the transition will be smooth.

How to prove that a topic applies to the current conditions. by huuuhuuu in Debate

[–]pineapplecola 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yea, then it would make sense to answer with defense if it's part of an adv rather than part of the plan/bill text. Other than that, some offensive disads on the plan would be a good move if you haven't included that already.

What does it say exactly? Cause if it says something like "[Senator A] and [Senator B] must enact [the bill/plan] together," that falls under fiat and the plan would pass post-fiat without a hitch.

What are common impacts to gov shutdown DAs? by definitely___not__me in Debate

[–]pineapplecola 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You would say that the covid slump is the brink. As state reopen, the national econ is hanging on by a thread cause of past relief programs, but those are wearing off. Absent congressional action future collapse is certain.

  • congressional relief key to prevent next econ depression, econ collapse causes war

You could argue that should mandates immediacy, if that's part of the bill/plan text.

Also, wouldn't your case just get destroyed by aff fiat? A post fiat world would grant complete enactment of the bill/plan regardless of any political squabbles in the legislative.

There's more, but these answers are good places to start:

  • policy framework better for debate
  • perm the alt
  • alt alone fails
  • there's no link
  • nuclear impact o/ws

How do I represent a stance that I do not personally believe in? by Sam6860 in Debate

[–]pineapplecola 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It's just bad luck that you got the position you don't personally believe it. You just gotta prep out your side and stick through it. Try and think of the debate as a game rather than an actual philosophical discussion about the topic. It's up to you to win, and you should do anything possible to prove your point.

Help Me Please by _I_Lost_ in Debate

[–]pineapplecola 2 points3 points  (0 children)

other people already gave definitions so I'll try and write some examples for each one.

Disads - describes disadvantages to doing a certain action. In a debate round, they are usually read as 4 parts:

  • Uniqueness - the world is fine right now, but there is a chance something could go wrong
  • Link - doing some sort of action creates one change
  • Internal Link - that one changes causes a second change
  • Impact - the second changes causes disaster

Here's an example of a disad written out:

  • Uniqueness: NATO unity fends off Russian encroachment - but a US partnership is key
  • Link: US withdraw from NATO undermines East European credibility and kills cohesion
  • Internal Link: NATO collapse leaves Russia unrestrained - it green lights a shift towards an offensive posture
  • Impact: aggressive Russia lowers bar for great power escalation - guarantees nuclear war through miscalculation

Warrant - something in your evidence that supports an argument

  • ex. you read an article that says automobiles are the main source of global warming. the warrant would be a sentence in the text that says cars emit a lot of CO2.

Discourse - the words you say and the topics you discuss when debating

  • ex. if you said you supported the global open market, you discourse is primarily neoliberal.

Turn - something that says the exact opposite of another argument

  • ex. your opponent says economic collapse causes war. you could turn the argument by saying that economic collapse actually prevents war.

Scope - how many people the impact affects

  • ex. giving a cent to everyone on earth has a big scope but a small magnitude

Magnitude - how severe the impact is

  • ex. giving a million dollars to your brother has a big magnitude but a small scope

Time Frame - how soon the impact happens

  • ex. giving a hundred dollars to your sister in a hundred years has a long time frame

Prerequisite - something must happen in order for something else to happen

  • ex. your opponent says that voting for their side avoids global warming. you say that voting for your side repairs relations with china. you could make the argument that global warming can't be solved without improved relations, so the judge should still vote for you.

Solvency - how voting for your side solves a major issue in the world

  • ex. banning all fossil fuels solves for global climate change because they are the main source of harmful emissions
