Hey, I just wanted to mention I’m probably gonna do a video on the PF nats topic, so if there’s any feedback or anything you want me to incorporate in that video please let me know. I could also give the LD topic a gander if anyone wants but idk how many Proteus watchers do LD vs PF
Hi! I made a video on writing cross-ex/cross-fire questions a couple weeks ago, but for this topic I think a good line of questioning if they’re saying to destroy the UN is to keep asking them why its bad until they something like because of global super powers/hegemony, and then ask if abolishing the UN means that sec council members can no longer interact with other countries (it doesn’t) then follow up with “so these countries still exist, and still have those resources”. Importantly, don’t ask why the UN collapsing hurts these superpowers because they probably have an answer and you don’t wanna let them make their own arguments in crossfire lol. If they’re saying UN good, I would try and get them to admit there are problems with the UN beyond permanent membership, and that there are ways for perm members to circumvent the aff (“will these countries have money after the aff happens? So they could issue bribes if they wanted?” Etc etc) (note that I asked if they COULD issue bribes, not if they will. There’s only one answer to the first question, but the second one gives them more wiggle room). The CX video explains what I’m saying in more detail, and I think it’ll be more helpful for coming up with questions setting up your specific case. Let me know if you have any more questions!
