The intentional ban on hunting whales shoud be lifted

Thanks for the convincing responses lets jump into the weighing mechanism. First off my opponent seems to have completely misinterpreted my argument here; 1. If we speak for everyone minorities will not have the overwhelming voice they need; the indigenous minority is important in this instance because it is the minority that is marginalized. Empirically when we give everyone the chance to speak the people with the bigger voice drown out the people with the softest voice that is why you prioritize the indigenous voice. ANy other weighing mechanism forces them into the position of the subaltern. 2. Also the move by my opponent to finally bring up a bright line and define why their weighing mechanism is better is totally abusive, because it means I can not answer the weighing mech debate until to late in the debate. I said you can't accept this argumentation in my last speeches, so you are going to default pro on this flow. 3. They also say the CP speaks for the Natives best, but it really doesn't with the Historical Erasure DA on the flow, but more on that in a bit. Onto the CP. 1. I use the word they to preserve word count and avoid gendered pronouns, which I disagree strongly with. 2. Just because we are writing a resolution, doesn't mean that all abuse is avoided. The main claim for abuse we are going to extend here is that the con is cherry picking only the good parts of the MMPA that means if anything they are assuming a role nearest to the pro side, that kills all of my ground. They define in the first round that they will defend that repealing the MMPA is bad, however there CP repeals the bad parts of it. That sounds like a pro argument to me... 3.The biggest reason you aren't voting for the CP though is on the historical erasure DA. a. They say no impact, but this MMPA is just another act of whitewashing our history; Andrew Jackson's Indian Giving is the exact same thing. The con basically says "We can take away certain things if we give them back in other ways, right?" This is the logic of settler colonialism that leads to economic exploitation in poverty. You must reject that on moral grounds if anything. b. They the CP isn't erasing history without giving warrants. That is the same thing as dropping the link entirely that means you believe this DA one way or another. And obviously MMPA is just another way of erasing the history of the Treaty of Neah Bay. The MMPA is passed and the Indians get reduced rights to whaling rather the government just honoring a treaty that was never overruled. Extend legality across the flow-- I win hands down on this flow. c.They say they are restoring history, but they aren't. The trail of tears "restored the Natives land", but just led to reduced Native voice. I am not buying it and neither should you. d. They say my arguments are hypocritical, but this is really non-responsive. Just cross apply the entire aff here. I obviously want the best for the Native voice and the fact that they erase history with the da means that they lose theri helping natives. e. Also they drop that this is a huge solvency defecit to the CP and a disad to the con that means they can't win the CP regardless. Now onto the Whales DA 1. They assume animals can't adapt fast enough, but algae which was nearly eradicated by humans in some forms learned to generate energy near volcanic vents, and species who have had low dips go of the radar and reappear decades later with new traits. That proves adaptability we win the DA had no uniqueness. 2. What the article actually says is that not even the MMPA can stop certain forms of environmental degradation that means the impact of the DA can't be stopped. The con doesn't solve a slew of things mentioned in the last round. 3. All that evidence says is that this keystone species practically dissipated 400 years ago that just further proves that there is no domino effect. That is literally the first thing the article say. 400 years. Onto Case 1. We don't concede CP solves for case, that has been explained on the CP flow. 2. They say rhetoric doesn't solve anything, but that is a middle finger to all natives. That essentially is saying racism doesn't matter because you can't solve all instances. We do err pro. 3. The CP only further proves the negate Native voice 4. They say reject our offense because it is overblown and ridiculous, but this is insanely oppressive to Natives. Native oppression is never overblown and racism is never a small impact. Reject them based on blatant racism. 5. They say the DA outweighs, but give no impact calc once again we need a brightline for why. Obviously sovereign violence of tens of thousands of Natives outweighs the death of a few whales which can't be prevented. 6. Also I don't speak just for the Makah that is coming out of round 2. That means hands down I win the round because I am the only one extending any offense from the first round. You have to side with the indigenous voice.
