Speaking evil solves – globalization has created nature as a subject that we can now ascribe blame to, swallowing us in ressentiment. The alt. fails to recognize the evil inherent in nature

Speaking evil prevents conditions necessary for colonialism

To speak evil is to say that in every process of domination and conflict is

Call for the oppressed and our speaking position necessitates creation of the identity of the other that must be consumed

Baudrillard did not believe in the death of Marxist thought. Responding to a question

to Marx the Left can find its last chance to be truly radical.

Their reliance upon materiality assumes a subject-object relationship that has been destroyed and replaced with the screen-network relationship by the virtual. A reorientation via the 1AC is key

Baudrillard 05 (Jean, "The intelligence of evil or the lucidity pact")~RW~
This is where the last phase of the enterprise comes in. Given reality’s powerlessness

Virtual age - Capitalism has dawned a new cloak. The era of Virtuality necessitates a reframing of epistemology towards questions of simulation that the alt. doesn’t offer

You attempt to pathologize the accident of death because it is the event which ruptures your simulation.   Don’t be fooled by their images of the apocalypse—this is textbook Cold War necromancy.

Bishop 09 (Ryan, Professor at the National University of Singapore, "Baudrillard Now: Baudrillard, Death and Cold War Theory")~RW~
Although death is pivotal to many whose work falls within the domain of critical theory
AND
to prevent the accident (or the event) — to prevent Death itself

This turns us into zombies—unable to live and already dead, cocooned in the hermetic embrace of the global, consuming anything that is put in front of our faces

Bishop 09 (Ryan, Professor at the National University of Singapore, "Baudrillard Now: Baudrillard, Death and Cold War Theory")~RW~
In an important sense, Baudrillard posits that Death is the salvation of theory while

Ressentiment is the root of racism.  The white desire for self-aggrandizement in the face of self-hatred created the myth of black inferiority.  This diagnosis is key because it reveals that a positive affirmation of black life is key to overcome the myth of black inferiority.  All prior movements have failed precisely because they were negative.

War is no longer declared; it’s always, already present through a form of immunity-policing whereby any event is considered a threat to the virtual order.   
Baudrillard 05 (Jean, “The intelligence of evil or the lucidity pact”)RW
At this present stage of a networking of all functions- of the body,
AND
power exerting it ends up exerting on itself under the banner of security.

The domain of cyber war itself is just a simulation; taxonomies and linguistics of cyber war use fear and technocratic jargon as abstractions designed to control and manipulate the public.

A National Security Agency adviser recently stated that “we need to know what normal

can and is encouraged to do: be afraid, be very afraid. 

The order that incorporates the cyber domain is at the same time real and abstraction; cyber war is hyperreal—the simulated universe where everything is realer than real. The process of perpetual simulation has disintegrated the line between real and imaginary causing the implosion and short-circuiting of a functioning social

The model of the code does not represent a prior social reality. It creates
AND
from its referential contents. We are living through a collapse of meaning. 

The inability to incorporate the natural world into this process of simulation creates virtual reality as the final solution; it necessitates the destruction of all natural life.
Baudrillard 05 (Jean, “The intelligence of evil or the lucidity pact”)RW

The first is the hypothesis of the radical illusoriness of the world - that is

the end, this irresistible technical undertaking or the violent reaction against it.

Discourse on cyber-terror is a symptom of a larger geopolitical drive to guarantee safety by eliminating populations because we’re all already terrorists
Baudrillard 05 (Jean, “The intelligence of evil or the lucidity pact”)RW

There is a fierce irony here: the irony of an anti-terrorist world
AND
all the political insignificance of this 'international community' by comparison with American Realpolitik.
?
This is indicative of a larger problem of modernity—it confuses evil, which is inherent, with misfortune, which is predictable, and thus eliminable.  This failure leads to violent scapegoating. Cyber war is the categorization of the evil of war as misfortune, as modernity attempts to relegate violence to a place where it can be managed
Baudrillard 05 (Jean, “The intelligence of evil or the lucidity pact”)RW

It is the secret failing of politics that it is no longer able to think
AND
should compete to take power, but that they should not want it.

Thought-as-misfortune does not cure human suffering but it does posit the world as it ought-never-have-been, affirming ressentiment that labels the whole of humanity as criminals.
Baudrillard 05 (Jean, “The intelligence of evil or the lucidity pact”)RW

Thinking based on evil is not pessimistic; it is the thinking based on misfortune
AND
whole culture of misfortune, of recrimination, repentance, compassion and victimhood.

Jon and I affirm the reversibility of cyber war.  Normative statements about what the government should do ignore the point of the resolution—to analyze the evil inside war powers.  Reversibility is not a hypothetical world, it’s a revealing of paradox, an inversion of moral genealogy and a passing beyond of the real and the virtual.
Baudrillard 05 (Jean, “The intelligence of evil or the lucidity pact”)RW

However that may be, duality and evil are not the same as violence.
AND
word in the story. And the Apocalypse itself is a facile solution.

The task of philosophy is to unmask the illusion of objective reality.  Absent an epistemic reframing, knowledge will always fall prey to circularity.
Baudrillard 05 (Jean, “The intelligence of evil or the lucidity pact”)RW
