Their criticism of the practices of torture are rooted in the idea of queer otherness, where certain sex acts are seen to be unnatural and befitting for the sexualized Muslim to experience because of their placement outside of US citizenship Exceptionalism.

Puar, Jasbir K. "Abu Ghraib: Arguing Against Exceptionalism".
THE TORTURE OF IRAQI PRISONERS at Abu Ghraib is neither exceptional nor singular, as
AND
serves a broader racist and sexist, as well as homophobic, agenda.

The discourse of the terrorist as the monster or as difference that needs to be policed results from a larger fear and policing of sexual deviance.

To begin, let us consider the monster. Why, in what way,
AND
to this double deployment of the discourse of monstrosity in "terrorism studies."

And your evidence about terrorism tries to explain terrorism in terms of oedepalization. Our k solves all of that and refuses to structure terrorist deviance as based on something implicitly linked to the family structure.

A fluid Identity creates the transformative potential for liberation

Roland Bleiker, 2003. (Professor of International Relations Harvard and Cambridge, Discourse
and Human Agency, Palgrave Macmillan, 2003. p. 31-32) 

Recognizing the constructed and constantly shifting dimensions of being sits somewhat uneasily with many
established approaches that, in Eagleton’s words (1991, 197–198), claim that ’a certain provisional stability of
identity is essential not only for psychical well-being but for revolutionary political agency.’ While recognizing the
need for provisional foundations to articulate critique, a feminist and discursive approach locates manifestations
AND
an adequate assessment of the processes through which its transformative potentials are unleashed.

The Affirmative’s appeal to transcendent top-down approaches to politics ensures the worst forms of biopolitical violence continue through the co-option of subjectivity in the name of the state.

Beasley-Murray 09 (Jon Beasley-Murray, Assistant Professor in Hispanic Studies, including social and political theory, "PART TWO: CONSTITUTION" http://faculty.arts.ubc.ca/jbmurray/research/jbm_escalon.pdf ~EB~)
Affect is, for Deleuze and Spinoza, an index of power: we may
AND
but also demonstrates reason’s addicted dependence upon sensual as well as spiritual stimulation.

Our alternative is a radical break from transcendence through adopting a machine-oriented ontology.

Machines cannot be co-opted through transcendence because they do not have an identity, subjectivity or end, rupturing all common notions of capturable life potential.

Framework 1NC

A. Interpretation: The affirmative must present and defend a topical, notarized plan.

B. Violation – The Affirmative’s plan is not notarized.

C. Vote Negative –

1. Notarization is key to good policy making, ensure solvency, court clog and prevent the destruction of civil society which turns the aff.

The Purpose¶ Notarization is the official fraud-deterrent process performed by Notaries Public

system and dissolve the network of trust allowing our civil society to function.¶ 

2. Policy Simulation - This comparatively is a better simulation of politics because notaries ensure that the plan is legal, indiscriminate, and not just informally vouched by a third party like the affirmative.

Notaries are public officials who are screened and appointed by the 50 states, the

in our legal system as a trusted, impartial and official third party.

3. We have history on our side - Empirically it is the only way individual actors can advocate their ideas in any official capacity –The Egyptian Old Kingdom proves.

Voting Issue for reasons above and Predictability, Reasonability, Policymaking ability and debatablity.

Tournament: Texas | Round: 5 | Opponent: Kansas Bevens-Miller | Judge: Russell

Danny and I advocate that you vote in this round for whichever side provides the best method for negatively reforming the debate community. We will defend a method of dissent.

An initial position of negativity is key to empowering debaters as active question-askers, rather than just receptacles of knowledge – the aff’s teleological view of education is too simple to explain how education and empowerment work

THE AFFIRMATIVE POSITS THEMSELVES AS MASTERS OF THE THEATRE OF POLICY ABLE TO CREATE A NEW REALITY WHICH IS CONSISTENT WITH THEIR IMAGINARY, PURIFIED WORLD. THEIR CONDEMNATION OF TRAGEDY IS AN ATTEMPT TO RESOLVE CHAOS WHICH NEGATES LIFE.

The will to power, then, should not be confused with a Hobbesian perpetual

OUR ALTERNATIVE IS TO REJECT THE AFFIRMATIVE’S ATTEMPT AT MASTERING THE WORLD BY EMBRACING AN ETHIC OF CHANCE AND UNCERTAINTY. WE SHOULD OPEN OURSELVES UP TO DANGERS BECAUSE WHILE OUR MORTALITY IS CERTAIN, OUR AFFECTUAL POTENTIAL IS SOMETHING THAT IS AT STAKE.

Not an abstraction – the removal of the issue war from the context of those being killed by drones in Pakistan strikes is the link.
