The United States federal government should substantially curtail its domestic surveillance.

Burdens - The affirmative is a speech act in which changes the status quo. The reason to vote AFF are the impacts of the 1AC. Case- THE CASE OUTWEIGHS THE KRITIKS: 1.Chilling Effect DA " extend Zuboff 15. This is a straight turn to the K. Any movement is doomed to fail, due to the Big Other. Surveillance specifically normalizes compliance with a chilling effect on dissent. They especially conceded this - meaning there's no alternative solvency. Queers become less queer, and all of their movements get shut down by the State. 2."We the People" DA - Throughout history, the story belongs not to whom, but who the person is deemed "under" the law. "We the People" are only a sub-human species compared to the super-human power furthermore known as corporations, meaning we control the root cause debate and is an independent turn to the K. Edwards & Morgan 4 (Molly Morgan, Jan Edwards, 5-20-2004, http://reclaimdemocracy.org... //RH) 3.PERM DO THE AFF AND THE Ks - The AFF hollows out any chance of actual change " the only chance of solvency is allowing for material change through inter-rim strategies. An independent turn on the K, because the K doesn"t actually do anything Connolly 13-Professor of Political Theory at Johns Hopkins University [William, The Fragility of Things, pp. 36-42] 4.AFF solves the K. C/A Weeks 11 here " the affirmative is a project in which uses a political text and an analytic perspective. When the doors of corporate abuse are finally opened, the gap will lead to the streamline of the end of structural violence. Without the AFF, the K will fall into an abyss restructuring capitalism, native violence, antiblackness, and heteronormativity. They conceded a specific solvency mechanism of the 1AC. They view the AFF through the links as an act of the state only and disregard it as a grassroots movement to ending corporate and state abuse. Once the 1AC passes, it allows for specific actions such as "rejecting the state" to actually take place. Net benefit to voting AFF. FW - Interp - Aff gets to weigh our kritik of specific policies while the neg gets to critique the aff. Key to edu about their K because we can't know whether or not the K is desirable without comparing it to opportunity costs. Even if they win we don't get the AFF we should be able to weigh corporatism vs. the K. I'll impact turn the surveillance reform and state links here: Reform is a necessary tactic and alternatives that preclude it fail a.

Same author leads us into b. b. Tangible focus points key"Surveillance policy specifically provides an issue to rally around and critique corporatism"s effects"demands for resistance in abstract terms do not mobilize coalitions, but focusing on specific reforms needed is necessary to develop local practical strategies to ultimately upset the corporate state. c. Training ground"supporting tactical reformism provide a training ground for a generation of leadership in galvanizing a collaboration at the grassroots"learning how to change public consciousness on specific issues enables activists to eventually construct more effective radical strategies"even if it fails, that failure would serve as an informative exercise which is a reason we should have the plan as a net-benefit to voting aff. d. Material value that is a pre-requisite to the successful implementation of the K"Zuboff, a PhD in psychology cites that surveillance specifically creates a chilling effect on dissent that normalizes compliance, making any rejection of the dominant order futile since those movements can"t generate momentum due to the fear of being shut down. This is a psychological element that is critical to take into account when considering alternative solvency. . It won"t get coopted" The affirmative is a project of infiltration"which is critical distinction from what their links are talking about. It"s a reason policy education is good and proves the K can"t solve. Williams 69 [Summer 1969, Robert F. Williams was a civil rights leader and author, The Deprived: Rebellion in the Streets", The Crusader, Volume 10, Number 02, http://freedomarchives.org...] Cap K- We already were the K - we radically reject corporate powers which are the war horse of capitalism No link " the K doesn"t even specify anything about corporations, make them prove something other than the courts and reform. Kovel doesn't say anything about the courts. Also the AFF ends corporatism - not furthers it. They conceded the AFF.

By using "queer" as a facet of their identity, they destroy any possibility of solvency. They make the dichotomy of hetero vs. queer even more binaristic by lumping together all non-heteros into one group. The White Epistemology intrinsic to much of Queer Theory makes the AFF methodology inaccessible to some Queer PoC and props up White Supremacy through the deconstruction of community and fervent rejection of opposition Johnson "10 (""Quare" studies, or (almost) everything I know about queer studies I learned from my grandmother")
