Well part of what neg is claiming is that your credible evidence is based on flawed realist epistemology . It doesn ' t even matter if is an actual threat because that analysis is situated around UScentric discourse . They will argue that the most preferable form of IR analysis comes from constructivism . The argument isn ' t that Securitization rhetoric is bad cause it makes us securitize . it ' s that Securitization rhetoric views every country as a threat or an investment and it is precisely that logic which causes things like nuclear war . EDIT By no means does this entail that you can ' t make that argument , but you have to win that Realism is good along with it . <| sep |> Mm that ' s a spicie meatball <| sep |> Okay cool ill try do that
