Tournament: UNT | Round: 2 | Opponent: Georgia State FF | Judge: Heidegger The ability of the executive to create zones where violence is legitimate is based on the sovereign’s ability to exile people from the human community. This, however, is not a crime against their humanity, but an extension of the original exception: the unending war against nonhumans. The backdrop of civil society is a relationship of total domination of humans over non-human animals. Democratic deliberation can never be progressive for the non-human animal as its existence is premised upon their exclusion. The impact to this relationship is beyond calculation as the cruelty exerted is beyond description. Wadiwel 9 Dinesh, Adj researcher at Hawke Research Institute for Sustainable Societies Social Policy Research Group, “The War Against Animals: Domination, Law and Sovereignty” Griffith Law Review 18.2 How might we imagine friendship … in a much more significant way.
Politics is dependent upon a double disavowal of animality – banning nonhumans from participation and separating political life from biological life and defining humanity as the former. Traditional politics can only function as interest convergence on behalf of humans, parasitic on the lives of nonhumans whose suffering provides the ground for human existence. The paradoxical task is to a radical democratization, but one that rejects the coordinates of any existing political structure. We should not include nonhuman animals, but abolish humanity.

Use the ballot to affirm that we are in a war zone. Nonhuman animals can make demands on us, but a prerequisite to true engagement is a laying down of arms, a negation of human sovereignty that opens up the space for animal sovereignties. This ruptures the Western tradition’s logic of exception – the failure to prioritize animal sovereignty as a new means of politics means deliberation will always be violent.
