we are going to die—save up for surge protectors, tin foil hats, stay away from the microwave, stockpile water, Vienna sausages, and spam because the next wave of cyber terrorism is going to bring about the end of time. In the information age the bomb is our personal computers and the battlefield is in the home right at our fingertips… waiting to explode.

The simulation ends here. What … counter-strategy literatures.

It’s a flat world of meaningless statistics and pop ups where everything is vacuous—and it is within this vacuous medium that predictions of cyber terrorism attempt to interrupt our everyday routine—to make us feel danger—feel anything—in the end we are left without sensibility, sensuality, eroticism, or affect—what we need is a radical pedagogy that interrupts the 24 hour news feed and reclaims representations, politics, and meaning.

Inundated by the homeopathic doses of violence of the daily news and yahoo updates—we live a life pacified of violence—we’re reminded of the ominous threat of nuclear violence, of riots in the streets of Ukraine and Venezuela, of serial killers—all spectacular violence. This strategy of media serves to make us feel safe at home—this reveals the dual relationship of security and violence—that what we deeply fear is the reality of the fragility of life—that at any moment we are subject to an unexpected death. In the end we are left with depression, with the inability to create meaning through interaction with a community—our lives are meaningless.

It’s the constant violence—action movies without dialogue, two word impact—its Mr. Freeze and Terminator three debate—extinction and war serve as our access to meaning—the scenarios and uniqueness changes but nothing ever happens. The inability to differentiate the real world from fantasy creates a desire for truth and meaning—we have a choice—either we turn to the razor, rope, and gun or we choose the revolt against the representations of the spectacle.

The spirit of dance may be steeped in fear but the reaction is important—instead of reacting like chicken little, huddling inside our bunkers, preparing our castles from waves of immigrants and cyber war—we ought revolt. We challenge the executive to stop engaging in cyber war—to stop the endless justification for violence. Our revolt realizes that while we may die—we ought not believe that the world is going to end because of the Internet. Better to dance on rooftops that fear the internet bomb.

Instead of quickly reacting in panic to doomsdays scenarios that cut off meaning from the body—we redirect the drives of depression and anxiety towards productive artistry—by interpreting the signs of the media—we reclaims space for the body in politics and creative meaning making.

Vote affirmative to revolt against the president’s ability to wage cyberwarfare.
Rather than being defined by and continue the dominant ideology of the media spectacle and representations of cyber terrorism we refuse to submit to the traditional paradigm—we choose to revolt in opposition to the discourse of fear and mystification through saturation of the media. We refuse to passively and uncritically force-fed ideology.  
Our revolt calls elites to be accountable for their fear mongering. Our revolt is crucial to create meaning within communities—it is through voicing dissent and revolt that we engage in community building and meaning making—we turn the very forms of oppression into productive creation of meaning through sublimation of negative drives. Your ballot matters–it creates space to rupture traditional representations by accepting revolt as the accepting third.

While Korematsu should be repudiated for its racist underpinnings, a singular focus on explicit discrimination is insufficient. Korematsu was not decided along racial lines, which illustrates how presidential war powers justification serves as a vector for opression. Furthermore, Bush lawyers revived Korematsu and concurrant military cases to justify the war on terror, and insufficient exposure to this historical legacy prevented effective legal opposition. Resistance to presidential war powers must begin with an investigation and repudiation of the “Korematsu era”. This will faciliate meaningful restraints on the executive and reclaim the narrative of war on terror legality.

Acceleration imbues the executive with increased authority to thwart the legitimate deliberative legislative process at his whim, rendering civic life obsolete by the instability of time itself.

II. The Space and Time Horizons of Traditional … simultaneity increasingly becomes constitutive of the human condition: the temporal gap between past and future is eerily reduced.

As speed colonized the elastic democratic relationship between the people and their representatives it is clear unilateral executive power to destroy life itself without legislative constraint can never be contained by anyone other than the absolute sovereign himself.

As legal scholar Paul Hemesath rightly points out, … of nuclear weapons, her/his despotism determines the fate of the world.

Acceleration of technology has created instantaneous decision making whereby automatons embodying our obsession to harness speed replace life altogether.

As we saw in the last chapter.Virilio‘s critique of …this transformation is being enforced on a global scale.

Cyberwar is the apotheosis of cybernetic colonialism, our infatuation with acceleration and quest for control pushes us towards the imminent launch of the information bomb as the locus of our deterrent is transferred from the atom to the electron, fulfilling our dreams of instantaneous and absolute response. With the culmination of pure war comes the specter of the integral accident: global in scope and general in nature

Virilio 6 (Paul Virilio. 2006. The Information Bomb. pp. 131-145)
Globalization is not so much, then, the … of a small planet held in suspension in the ether of telecommunications.

The thesis of emergent causality necessitates our refusal of the unitary executive. The complexity of politics is beyond a sole decision maker, to create a despot is go all in on an unwinnable hand

Campbell et al 2007David Campbell: Int’l boundaries Research, Geography Department, Durham U: with Stuart Elden and Stephen Graham LuizaBialasiewisz: Department of Geography at Royal Holloway U of London, and Alex Jeffrey from the School of Geography at the U of Newcastle, “Performing security: The imaginative geographies of current US strategy” pg on bottom

Methodologically this approach requires an alternative … it only if it does not spawn new persona to replace them.

Vote affirmative to endorse restrictions on the unitary executive over cyber warfare. Liberalism closes off deliberation because it’s afraid where true democracy will take us, and instead invests in the executive the authority to narrate the present into the future. 

The role of the ballot is endorsement of agonistic respect; voting aff opens debate to uncertainty by opening up dissonant politics of pluralization for only a pluralizing democracy can deal with the dangers of dogmatism and fundamentalism

Agonistic respect opens the possibility of contestation which is a prerequisite for allowing a deep respect to arise between interacters. Voting aff isn’t easy – it is hard to have faith that others will reciprocate our agonistic respect but because the affirmative method treats positions of faith and morality of others as contestable and worthy by challenging dogmatic impositions of difference we uniquely initiate the discourse for that mutual respect.
Connolly 91 William, Professor of Political Science at John Hopkins University, Identity/Difference-Democratic Negotiations of Political Paradox pg, xxv-xxvii
One is implicated ethically with … folding respect into agonism and connection into difference.

Our methodology allows individuals to cultivate the capacity for critical responsiveness because the “arts of the self” is a micropolitical resistance to the colonization of speed into politics so although Bobby and I may not control any lever of power, and we are certainly not the USFG; our methodology of a constant identity-in-difference begins the process of dismantling the dominant secularist ideologies.

 How to participate in the … poses surprises to the self-identifications of established constituencies.

The affirmative doesn’t advocate bringing the speed of politics to a halt through aimlessly pondering rather we implant agonism in democratic governance to invoke pluralistic resistance to the velocity of secularist totalitarianism.

The liberal narrative of speed sacrifices deliberation for speed, constructing slowness as failure and gifting the executive access to instantaneous action in order to justify unethical and bellicose intervention. To reclaim politics, a refusal of the unilateral executive restores faith in democracy.
