BobbyTables 298 Report post Posted July 30, 2015 How does the perm function? If the Americas were never colonized, there's no USFG to curtail surveillance (likewise, if the surveillance was never initiated, there's no surveillance to curtail). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If the Americas were never colonized, there's no USFG to curtail surveillance (likewise, if the surveillance was never initiated, there's no surveillance to curtail). And this is why historically counterfactual affs are a bad idea, because it becomes pure theory debate. (All policy affirmatives are counterfactual, because plan is not being done. Which is why i specify historically counterfactual, because imagining a different past is a very different thing from imagining a different future). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
