Tournament: kentucky | Round: 4 | Opponent: emory js | Judge: russell

We offer the following declaration of war against Emory JS. We declare war on their ideals. We declare war on their project.

War is a fundamental expression of human passion – it makes things matter and makes life beautiful. Endorse our declaration to enjoy war in all of its splendor

Gelven prof phil @ NIU 1994 (Michael, War and Existence)

Few would deny, I think, that war is essentially violent. But Schopenhauer
AND
we would rather die in a blaze of glory than die of boredom. 

Their liberal project is nothing more than the scum of the earth defecating all over authentic existence - a mindless desire to achieve some progress based on the truthes that it itself constructed. In response to their peaceful bullshit we offer war. And to the world we offer one choice – follow us or die

Van Gerven Oei and Staal 2k8 (Vincent, Jonas, dutch artists and theorists Introduction to Follow us or Die)

In recent years, the People has crept back into broad daylight. It seems
AND
taken. You have only one choice. Follow us. Or die.

Next off is Apocalypse Meow—

The framework—methodological analysis of apocalyptic narratives comes first—the 1AC’s descriptions depoliticize the human and violence against the nonhuman body—naturalizes oppressive structures

It is an easy point to make, that apocalypse is defined in almost totally
AND
and are increasingly being shown to be far less particular than we imagined.

Voting neg means getting naked in front of our pets—use the ballot to express solidarity with the nonhuman through allowing for an apocalypse of the human subject—the debate round is uniquely emancipatory but the perm removes that potential

Collard 13—Geography Department at the University of British Columbia
(Rosemary-Claire, "Apocalypse Meow", Capitalism Nature Socialism, 24:1, 35-41, dml)

While what counts as human shifts dramatically in time and space, what remains for
AND
consider precisely how this material and symbolic category remains untroubled in such misanthropy.

The solution to the world’s problem lies in the recognition that there is no solution – suffering and conflict are nothing more internal blockages – we must accept the world as it comes to us or we are doomed to the path of Don Quixote, fighting imaginary windmills for all eternity

Khema 94  (Ayya, 1994, Buddhist monk, "All of us beset by Birth, Decay, and Death." Buddhism Today, http://www.buddhismtoday.com/english/philosophy/thera/003-allofus-5.htm-http://www.buddhismtoday.com/english/philosophy/thera/003-allofus-5.htm)

If you have ever read Don Quixote, you’ll remember that he was fighting windmills
AND
Unless that becomes clear to us, we will always find another crusade. 

Desire creates the illusion of the self and the suffering that defines the human condition. Our only capacity is thus to affirm the extermination of this desire in the face of perpetual death and an impermanent reality

DOLLIMORE 1998 (Jonathan Dollimore 1998 (Death, Desire and Loss in Western Culture, p 54-56.)

Siddhartha Gautama (560-477 BC) was a prince who, because of

Nirvana is the utter cessation of desire or craving; it means extinction.

Use the ballot to engage in meditative affirmation of the status quo.

Upon close inspection, Buddha shows, paradise crumbles. The atman, on the

Jazz is a form of social control – the defining feature of jazz is syncopation – it relies on the inclusion of unexpected rhythms meant to disturb the status quo – however syncopation is not disruptive. Instead these disruptions must be seen as both limited by and solidly entrenched within modern forms of social control – the logic of jazz is the logic of totalitarianism – vote negative to critique the inclusion of jazz within the 1AC

Lewandowski 1996 (Joseph, "Adorno on jazz and society" Philosophy Social Criticism 1996; 22; 103)
The primary technical maneuver peculiar to jazz is syncopation.  Syncopation was a requirement for
AND
becomes the likeness of a society in which chance  itself is planned.16

This turns the case – the logic of syncopation prevents and inhibits the ability of individuals to articulate their own suffering – the 1AC would have been much better off without the music

Lewandowski 1996 (Joseph, "Adorno on jazz and society" Philosophy Social Criticism 1996; 22; 103)
Though Adorno’s difficult conceptualization of the individual cannot  be fully explicated here, its chief
