Man I still don't get this line of thinking at all.

It's pretty simple, usually. They believe "I'm one of the good ones" and often "if we just stop the 'bad' ones, white people will stop being racist".

is it ever possible for a debate team kid to turn out ok or are they doomed to become insufferable logic dorks

policy debate has degenerated into auctioneer training

quote:

As Policy Debate grew in popularity, the more Machiavellian debaters attempted to gain an edge by overwhelming their opponents with as many arguments and as much supporting evidence as possible. This was because if a team “dropped” an argument by its opponent—if it did not respond to the other side’s claim—that argument was conceded as “true,” no matter how inane it was. Chief among the strategies exploiting this rule was “spreading” (a combination of “speed” and “reading”), where debaters would rattle off arguments at a blistering pace. Their speeches often exceeded 300 words per minute. (A conversational pace is about 60 per minute.)

Debaters started formulating outlandish arguments. The more apocalyptic the outcome the better, with little care for the argument’s probability or real-world application. “A new retirement program will trigger a nuclear war.” “Prison overcrowding would cause the destruction of the ozone layer.” High school debate had come to this.

it is literally worthless

The strange thing is that pride keeps anyone from get through to participants by criticizing anything like this. The trophy is like a sacred object in a cult. If you question it, you're just jealous that you didn't obtain access to the Artifact of Wisdom.

Obama put himself in a position where he can't say anything without damaging his legacy lol

turns out when your legacy is as fragile as Obama’s, it’s difficult not to damage it while you are still alive.

I’m also not sure what his “legacy” even is. I’m pretty he is the first black president and nothing more.

I'd bet my paltry IRA that his entire fortune is under a family trust, and technically not "his." (Nor technically his family's, because a trust is a standalone entity.)

If you're in the lib bubble, you still are being told to believe things like:

  • His response to the Great Recession prevented it from being another depression.
  • The AMA may not have been ideal, but it increased the coverage numbers therefore it's a good step.
  • He got a Nobel Peace Prize for legitimate reasons and toned down the Forever War.
  • He killed Osama Bin Laden, which was an obvious victory in the War on Terror.

They will hold on to this forever. Even if you point out how much bullshit this is, they'll say you're just trying to minimize the first black President.

E: They will also fall back on "he's still widely popular, especially among black people and we can't lose them!"

i had a high school class that involved a debate? it might have been debate? all i remember is i was supposed to debate about weed so i came up with pro-legalization points but then was told i had to argue the anti position and i had nothing. teach said words about the ~spirit of discourse~ and i was like, I can't take a contrary position, there are no legit contrary points, its unfair to ask me to debate from a position i neither agree with nor has a legit leg to stand on if youre unwilling to literally lie to people and he was like, tough poo poo kid

so in front of a class of my peers i put up a stellar rebuttal of shrugging and going "yeah he's right" to all my opponents points

i probably didnt do well in that class, gradewise, but it did bother me that debate was just like, something akin to a team sport where youre expected to just be fine with slapping on a different jersey
