This means they don’t get to weigh the aff.

Practical reason means we all have a unified perspective: What can be justified to me can be justified to everyone who is a practical reasoner. If I can conclude that 2+2 is 4, then I understand not only that I know 2+2 is 4, but that everyone around me can arrive at the same conclusion. These things are temporally consistent: I know that me adding two numbers now and taking that sum will not result in me adding the same two numbers in the future and getting a different sum. Our unified perspective does not change but rather stays consistent.

[1] Action theory – only viewing an agent as an active body capable of generating intentions can hold agents culpable and decipher the difference between actions and wishes. Small No Date, Will Small, Practical Knowledge and the Structure of Action, UChicago//Scopa Aspiring to do something differs from merely wishing for some state of affairs or event to obtain or transpire. As Anscombe notes, “[a] chief mark of an idle wish is that a man does nothing—whether he could or no—towards the fulfilment of the wish” (63, §36). Even though a mere or idle wish represents its object as in some sense good, it does not amount to practical thought because it has no inner tendency towards action, which is what practical thought is ultimately for.³² By contrast, just as an intention has the inner tendency to further articulate and re-articulate itself in action, so an aspiration has the inner tendency to articulate itself such that it becomes an intention. This articulation too is the work of practical reasoning: an agent’s aspiration can become an intention, by his coming up with a plan—by reasoning from the end which is at a distance, to an immediate means that he can take. This inner tendency towards such articulation—an inner tendency towards perfecting itself in action and practical knowledge—is what marks practical thought out as rationally efficacious; that is, as practical. It is in the nature of the thought ‘I want (aspire, intend) doing A’ and realizes that articulation in action and practical knowledge: ‘I am doing D by doing C by doing B by doing A’. Such inner efficacy is absent in mere wish”

Adv 1: Virtue
An agent who has insufficient reason for doing what he does need not on that account be acting morally impermissibly. So let us say that an agent acts morally permissibly if and only if [their] action embodies a practical inference whose premises’ justifying force, if any, is not successfully undermined or defeated by any moral considerations. Let us call such practical inferences “permissible.” An agent acts permissibly, then, if and only if his action embodies a permissible practical inference.6 (For the sake of simplicity I shall sometimes, in what follows, revert to the preliminary formulation of the view, omitting the qualification about moral considerations.) Returning to the observation with which this section began, we can see that the inferential account easily explains why permissibility judgments cannot have mere occurrences as their objects. The power to act is a rational power: it is the power to do things for reasons. According to the inferential account, acting permissibly is a matter of not going astray (in a certain way) in one’s exercise of this power. It is a matter, roughly speaking, of basing one’s practical conclusions on adequate reasons. Adverbial permissibility judgments thus evaluate actions qua exercises of agency and not merely qua physical occurrences. What of actions performed for no reason, assuming for the moment that such actions are possible? We can think of an agent who acts for no reason as drawing a practical conclusion on the basis of no premises at all. If there is a moral reason for him not to act as he does, then the (nonexistent) justifying force of his premises is defeated by a moral consideration, and so he acts impermissibly. If there are no moral reasons for [them] not to act as he does, then the (nonexistent) justifying force of [their] premises is not defeated by any moral considerations, and so he acts permissibly. Even if there are actions performed for no reason, then, this needn’t be seen as a fatal blow to the inferential account.

Incalculable future threats are weaponized as a tool to obscure and re-entrench current hierarchies and power structures in order to ignore and reify violence against the urgent body - you should refuse the negatives ethical blackmail and the constant urge to prevent extinction and align yourself with indigenous urgencyOlson 15 Elizabeth Olson, Professor of Geography and Global Studies at University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, “Geography and ethics I: Waiting and urgency” (progress report), Progress in Human Geography, 2015, Vol. 39*(4) 517-526 PBM UMKC
III The body and the emergency Though the body is often presumed to be the most basic unit where urgency might be detected, only some dictionaries link urgency and the body through a ‘medical’ reference to the compelling need to defecate or urinate.5 Focusing on the different meanings of urgency runs the risk of obscuring language categories, but pushing together the two definitions – urgency as the need to defecate and urinate, and urgency as overwhelming force – is useful here, because my aim is to illustrate that the ethical work of urgency has been hijacked by an hierarchical organization of scales of moral deliberation. Specifically, our research suggests that the urgent body is cast as subjective and impulsive, while larger scales, such as the region, state or society, emerge as the scale of a rational ethics. While these are not new arguments about states (Scott, 1998) and their institutions (Foucault, 1995), geographic insights into toileting and securitizations suggest that technocratic practices both require and perpetuate an ethical distinction between the body and the large-scale future event, with the latter emerging as the only legitimate site of urgent claims and thus the dominant subject of moral reasoning.In research related to contemporary global toileting, the defecating body’s status as a legitimate ethical concern is more likely to be acknowledged when threatening the sanitation aims of cities and states. This is perhaps most evident in large metropolitan areas where uneven access to toilets amplifies social inequalities and human suffering (McFarlane, 2013). Jewitt’s (2011) examination of waste management in India and other countries in the Global South reveals that taboos around feces often justify inequality in two ways; first, by creating conditions of precarity through taboos in discussing personal sanitation and toilet practices, and second, by justifying social exclusion on the basis of inferior sanitation practices. The lack of access to sanitation infrastructure can also provide reasons for excluding informally settled populations from ambitiously modernizing cities. In cities like Kampala, Uganda, planners, development workers, and community organizers frame those who cannot use modern toilet facilities as threatening (Terreni-Brown, 2014a). Terreni-Brown (2014b) describes a group of female migrants selling goods outside of a large, upscale mall in Kampala, and their strategies for balancing the lack of access to a toilet with the danger and humiliation of going in the area behind their street-side location. Their desperate pain, induced by waiting hours until they can finally return to a more private location, contrasts with complaints of city planners and NGO workers who point to moral lethargy in the informal settlements that puts the city at risk. The poor, illegal, marginalized body is not a reasonable scale of urgency, nor is it the product of a thoughtful weighing of circumstances; in the face of a morally rational prioritization of a future Kampala, these bodily urgencies literally have no place in the modern city. Though toileting might be thought of as a special case of bodily urgency, geographic research suggests that the body is increasingly set at odds with larger scale ethical concerns, especially large-scale future events of forecasted suffering. Emergency planning is a particularly good example in which the large-scale threats of future suffering can distort moral reasoning. Zˇizˇek (2006) lightly develops this point in the context of the war on terror, where in the presence of fictitious and real ticking clocks and warning systems, the urgent body must be bypassed because there are bigger scales to worry about: What does this all-pervasive sense of urgency mean ethically? The pressure of events is so overbearing, the stakes are so high, that they necessitate a suspension of ordinary ethical concerns.
technocratic practices both require and perpetuate an ethical distinction between the body and the large-scale future event with the latter emerging as the only legitimate site of urgent claims and thus the dominant subject of moral reasoning threatening the sanitation aims of cities and states large-scale future events of forecasted suffering necessitate a suspension of ordinary ethical concerns

Second, queer activism originated from and still functions through the white male perspective, Moore 2
William R. Dynes dates the start of today’s “queeritude” to June 1990 when the word “queer” [was] appeared on anonymous “I hate straights” leaflets distributed at gay pride marches in New York and other cities.3 The written invocation began with the words “Listen queers,” an aggressive term – imbued with rage – that was intended as a sign of resistance to “straights.” The formation of Queer Nation chapters in America and Canada followed. However, by the spring of 1995, Queer Nation was disbanded in US cities. An offshoot of the AIDS activist organization ACT-UP, Queer Nation function[ing]ed as a radical “queer” activist group that has been criticized for imagining itself to be primarily white and male. Thus, it seems that the term “queer” functioned as an exclusive term en vogue among queer activists who were white and male.
