Part one is the status quo
Developed countries are under the illusion that in order to "save humanity" they must barge into developing countries and destruct millions of lives to gain economic prosperity. This occurs when they continuously search for resources without thought to the horrible sacrifices they create –which leads them to spread this neoliberalistic ideal into developing countries.
~when we can slaughter other groups because it can help larger cause- happens cause these lives are not worth as much as the money~

The development of Neoliberalism is strongly linked to ecological devastation, but protecting the environment may help Neoliberalism practices. Helping the environment must help the economy because increasing regulations make for more efficient production.

Part two is the advocacy2w
The affirmative advocacy is that on balance environmental protection should be prioritized over resource extraction. I reserve the right to clarify so no theory violations unless checked in cx. 3
The beginning of the global neoliberal market began with the lack of state policies regulating resource extraction.

Part three is Framework
Escaping neoliberal oppression is an epistemological prerequisite to any ethical theory. Neoliberal ideologies permeate society erasing the distinction between economic and moral behavior and creates arbitrary excuses for the elite class. Brown ’03

The extension of economic rationality to formerly noneconomic domains and institutions reaches individual conduct,

the calculation that was wrong, not the act, actor, or rationale
Limitations to human rationality and the variability of human value mean all ethics will concede that there is value in moral dialogue. Oppression arbitrarily restricts voices thus oppression comes first under any moral theory. Clifford and Burke’08

The status quo educational system functions to reproduce dominant social political ideologies by normalizing oppressive relationships effectively making it so people don’t want to see change. Rosenberg ’04

Giroux: Higher education must be understood as a democratic public sphere - a space

power arrangements fundamental to promoting the common good and producing a meaningful democracy.
This means the role of the ballot is to reject neoliberal thought because it destroys the unique capacity for the debate space to critically engage with ideas and minimize oppressive norms. Giroux
