Focusing on drones trades-off with broad critique of the military-industrial complex

The affirmative is exemplary of how we have become conditioned to accepting the military-industrial complex—the impact is endless war and violence

Attempts to alleviate environmental, social, and economic injustices through state action and non-violent modes of resistance privileges hegemonic control. Only by opening ourselves to diverse modes of engagement may, we fight all forms of otherization and exploitation

According to the most common-sense meaning of the word, many of us

Non-violent modes of resistance allow the state to simply shift between equally elitist regimes – these strategies merely entrench state power over violence

An effective means of violent resistance involves hacking drones – it’s easily accessible to a majority of citizens and hard to trace. This sabotage can then be used to further violent resistance

The introduction of new technology to warfare holds the potential for unforeseen consequences as the

Topicality

Interpretation: Restriction is a limitation on activity by statute, regulation, or provision

People’s Law Dictionary 2013. (by Gerald and Kathleen Hill: Gerald has practiced law for more than four decades in San Francisco, has an A.B. from Stanford and Juris Doctor from University of California. dictionary.law.com)
Restriction
n. any limitation on activity, by statute, regulation or contract provision. In multi-unit real estate developments, condominium and cooperative housing projects managed by homeowners’ associations or similar organizations, such organizations are usually required by state law to impose restrictions on use. Thus, the restrictions are part of the "covenants, conditions and restrictions" intended to enhance the use of common facilities and property which are recorded and incorporated into the title of each owner.
