Tournament: Emory | Round: 1 | Opponent: Any | Judge: Any Defense of “Countries” in the topic and your use of the assumption of state primacy in global affairs makes sovereignty immovable and the nation state inevitable. Treating the nation state as inevitable and war as a feature of life justifies makes solving violence impossible. Neocleous, Mark. "Off the Map On Violence and Cartography." European Journal of Social Theory 6.4 (2003): 409-425. “Second, in obliterating significant… account at all.
The impact is literally infinite violence in the name of social order. It causes unending bloodshed and is the reason for all and armies and any attempt to deescalate the violence is contained, which makes extinction by statism and terrorism inevitable Neocleous, Mark. "Off the Map On Violence and Cartography." European Journal of Social Theory 6.4 (2003): 409-425. But there is more to territory… which it could then¶ properly confront.
The alternative is to embrace deterritoriality and the death of the state. The alternative solves – the nation state and borders are not inevitable, but only a function of our contingent representations. De-bording is as simple as an alteration in the way you think. Neocleous, Mark. "Off the Map On Violence and Cartography." European Journal of Social Theory 6.4 (2003): 409-425. The map, then, has been an instrument… Geo-body created literally on paper

Jan-Feb Will to Power NC
Tournament: Emory | Round: 2 | Opponent: Any | Judge: Any Internalism fails to account for the categorical nature of moral imperatives and instead leads to subjectivity.

Boston University: 2011. “Internalism provides a…us as implausible.”
Externalism would not provide sufficient justification for an agent to act because morality must be a guide towards actions. Katsafanas 2 “While externalism captures…decidedly odd property.”
Constitutivism avoids the pitfalls of both internalism and externalism while capturing the benefits of each theory. Katsafanas 3 “Enter a third…is an agent.”
VC: Consistency with the will to power
The will to overcome resistance is implicit in every action. Katsafanas 4 “It is important…and overcoming resistance.”
