The real is dead; a corpse upon which the hyperreal proliferates itself infinitely. The project of the mad cartographers has finally succeeded into rendering sovereign difference into a manufactured simulation of difference.
Baudrillard 81 (Jean, Simulacra and Simulation: The Procession of the Simulacra, 1981, CP)
If once we were able to view the Borges fable in which the cartographers of … generation of differences.

Deterrence precludes nuclear war however threats of nuclear annihilation serve to reify a universal security apparatus. The balance of terror is nothing more than the terror of balance
Baudrillard 81 (Jean, Simulacra and Simulation: The Orbital and the Nuclear, 1981, CP)

The apotheosis of simulation: the nuclear. However, the balance of terror is
AND
And the progressive satellization of the whole planet through this hypermodel of security. 

Terrorism is not located within any one particular geographic area or nation-state. Instead the terrorist imagination inhabits us all, made possible by a system that attempts to construct itself as universal and totalizing. Attempting to erase us from the debate space cause worse forms of terrorist blowback.
Bauldrillard 01 (Jean Baudrillard, The Spirit of Terrorism, 2001, CP)

We are even facing, with the World Trade Center and New York hits,
AND
is conversely not the embodiment of terrorism), triumphant globalization fighting with itself. 

The catastrophic cannibalism of the 1AC makes the real catastrophe inevitable – turns case
Baudrillard, 94 (Jean, The Illusion of the End, 1994)

We have long denounced the capitalistic, economic exploitation of the poverty of the 'other
AND
fate, it will prefer to stage its own death as a species. 

Political projects decompose upon themselves, achieving only ruin and leading to a fragmentary existence. In the face of action we choose to laugh.
Bataille, 45 (Georges, On Nietzsche, 1945, CP)

 Nonetheless, I don’t want my Inclination to make fun of myself or act
AND
pleasure, holiness, or death. Entirety lacks further tasks to fulfill.) 

Security is a form of social control in which we encase ourselves in a cellophane sarcophagus, reducing the body to a bad object that needs to be preserved
Baudrillard 76 (Jean, Symbolic Exchange and Death, 1976, CP)
Security is another form of social control, in the form of life blackmailed with
AND
doleful, defensive book-keeping, locking every risk into its sarcophagus. 

The possibility of war has all but disappeared, being absorbed into the cold light of deterrence. We simulate small skimerishes like the 1AC on the international theatre to preserve the illusion that actual war is still a possibility. This surgical operation of the social serves as a way by which to infect the globe with Stockholm Syndrome
Baudrillard, 95 (Jean, The Gulf War Did Not Take Place, 1995, CP)
We are in neither a logic of war nor a logic of peace but in
AND
the decoy of war as the others are to the decoy of power.

This card is really long but we’re pretty sure it says what you’re doing is bad
Baudrillard, 03 (Jean, The Violence of the Global, 2003, CP)

Universalization has to do with human rights… the kind of hatred that explains the September 11 terrorist attacks. 

We didn’t invent the rainy day. We just brought the best umbrella
Baudrillard, 96 (Jean, The Perfect Crime: Radical Thought, CP) 

How fine indifference was in a world that was not indifferent - in a different

. And, if possible, to render it a little more unintelligible.

A.  Nuclear war is a fiction – used as a tool of fear in order to order a fundamentally un-orderable world.  This replicates all their impacts and destroys value to life.

Jean Baudrillard, French philosopher and super postmodernist, Simulacra and Simulation, 1981, p. 21.

The apotheosis of simulation: the nuclear. However, the balance of terror is
AND
stake is dead, only simulacra of conflicts and carefully circumscribed stakes remain. 

B.  The alternative text is: Vote negative to recognize reversibility.

Engaging the plane of the real will never work; the only way to destroy the simulacra is to adopt the catastrophic strategy that forces the system to collapse in on itself.

In Symbolic Exchange and Death29 identity is reversed (equated with death), ambivalence is

War later escalates, going nuclear –
