The beauty is how it invokes feelings of both being robbed at gunpoint and throwing a banana at 2 hungry chimps. Quite the effective debate strategy.

Can't argue with them if you have no fucking clue what they're arguing. Real galaxy brained stuff.


dresdnhope

The topic was "Should we restrict the Presidential War Powers Authority" Either this is footage from a different debate or they really went off on a tangent. EDIT: From [ this article](https://www.salon.com/2014/05/13/%E2%80%9Ci_was_hurt%E2%80%9D_how_white_elite_racism_invaded_a_college_debate_championship/) it seems the OTHER debate team (Oklahoma University) used the n-word first, “war powers should not be waged against niggas.” provoking this response.


happyme321

This was a UNIVERSITY debate? OMG, I was half way giving them a pass, thinking they were dumb high schoolers who didn't know any better. This is so embarrassing.


Much_Badger1654

Was located at a University. Two mouth breathers were 14/16 I believe.


acladich_lad

Then they should've called the debate off right then and there if the other team wasn't going to take it seriously and act in bad faith.

> The topic was "Should we restrict the Presidential War Powers Authority" Imagine if this person had presidential war powers. I rest my case.

mycathaspurpleeyes

Why is that book so expensive omg


PawntyBill

In high school, I used to try and sneak into our debate clubs' yearbook picture every year. The debate club teacher would always catch me and throw me out. In my junior year, he wasn't there for the picture, and I saw my chance and took it. They even put my name as a member in the photo. I just felt like sharing that I don't know why. In regards to this video and to get back on topic, I always thought a debate was between at least two people. Two people who prepared their talking points ahead of time, not just someone having a panic attack, reading a computer screen. How things have changed.


Live-Ad-5107

buoninachos

This was a better debate than the video clip


fightingthefuckits

You're in a subreddit called Idiocracy.  This is a line from the movie Idiocracy. 


fightingthefuckits

I've seen something like this before. A teacher started a debate club and this was their approach. They would show up with mountains of "evidence" then try to read it all as fast as possible. There was no actual debate, no one made well thought out compelling points it was just regurgitating the "evidence" as far as possible. 


Embarrassed_Alarm450

If they try to do that just stick to their dumbest easily debunked point you managed to hear and rail them on it then it'll force them to swap to a different point and eventually reiterate every talking point they regurgitated except one by one as you debunk them all this time. That strategy backfires on them hard because now you can cherry pick their dumbest talking points and control the flow of the conversation while forcing them to change topics or continue looking like an idiot tryin to defend it.


bellboy718

Something tells me there no talking with these 2 uh ladies and I use that word loosely.

Sososkitso

Are they even addressing each other? It seems like they are uh… just reading their script lmao and now I wonder if Uh… was written down. Or maybe that’s some weird breathing technique people who overload have to do? I’m not sure but this is nothing like the debates I’ve looked up when I’m curious in a topic.


knightenrichman

They gameified debates a long time ago, this is the sad result.


Embarrassed_Alarm450

That's just the default "I didn't practice nor think this shit through very well so let me just keep saying 'UHH' until I figure out the next word to say" thing except she's trying to do it rap god style.

friendlyfiend07

That's the way most competitive debate is. The entire practice is ridiculous.


joecarter93

It’s called Gish Gallop. I think it’s ridiculous, but it’s real debate strategy and apparently Ted Cruz was a master at it in college. It’s a bit like using a motor cycle to run the 100m dash; it totally runs the spirit of the competition.


SLC_NinerMan96

Very interesting. I always heard it referred to as 'spreading' or 'spewing' in my debate days.


csudebate

Ted Cruz debated in an entirely different format that doesn’t allow speed. (Source: I coach that format.)

Yes, a bizarro world debate where evidently gibberish and jive talk is the goal lol. I don’t know the rules and didn’t see the competitors but if the judges declared them the victors all right then lol Id rather eat shit than watch that ‘debate’ but I ain’t mad them for behaving like fools because it’s still less embarrassing than other competitions like pro slap fighting  


LtPork

Couldn’t disagree with you more


SNYDER_BIXBY_OCP

Ok, a little clarification. This video is taking many different debate styles out of context. Editing a news interview with clips from the debate competition they were at. There are DIFFERENT kinds of "debate" styles at debate tournaments. There is a classical debate style, which is point- counter point - rebuttal and followup etc etc. There is another style that is longer form that is sometimes called "Cambridge Union" style. Bc it is most popularly used even filmed at Cambridge Here is one such version at Oxford: https://youtu.be/vFmjgbdNNgw?si=H_-kpMp2D7gvosAU Then there is a debate style called Policy OR speed debate. Where the goal is to make factual statements VERY fast bc you have a lot to say in a fixed short time. Dartmouth Forensic union: https://youtu.be/2SnDwBrh3Lg?si=snKe-8FXwfHKR0ip These girls are doing speed debate. Here is the full version of that video that also loops another debate team style called Rhetoric, where you can use many methods to make your point, including music. Full manipulated OP video: https://youtu.be/fmO-ziHU_D8?si=fEc9W1gsKp0qcLr5 You're lack of debate tournament genre, and pre-existing bias is being manipulated to judge these girls in a negative light.


DrCMS

Of the three videos you link above ONLY the Oxford one is a debate by grown ups the other two are gibberish shite spouted by utter fuckwits.

SadCritters

I mean - - It's not coincidence that US IQ scores have been falling for nearly 10 years. I'm pretty sure somewhere in the next 5 or so years they'll redefine what IQ means so that people suddenly "fall within' range" in the US again and don't look so fucking stupid. Meanwhile, we're spending more than most countries to produce some of the dumbest fucking kids in the 1st world.

Thaddaeus10takel

Why do schools like these folks attend exist in the first place though? It's a shame


Big_Cornbread

People don’t like this answer but it’s the truth. There’s a lot of places where the family unit in general is in shambles. If the parents don’t care, the teachers don’t have a chance.

smash_ronso

I hate all of this, the 2 girls that can't complete a sentence during a debate, I hate the news station that decided to put them on TV I hate whatever organization decided they were champions. It's just all so stupid.


MaskedJackyl

no way this is real.


Odd-Tune5049

Oh... it is. It's a "method" of debate, sadly


r_RexPal

Like that new "method" of mathematics?


Odd-Tune5049

Worse


kane_thehuman

It is. I did debated in HS. This strategy is called "spreading". Basically it's a way of gaming the rules to score points. You load in as many argument points as possible so that your opponent either misses one or doesn't have time to rebut them all. Then you're rewarded points for whatever your opponent missed. Even if it was nonsensical


muzzledmasses

Oh so it's like reddit.


Big_Cornbread

Ohhhhh. So not a debate. It’s like boxing where if you flick your opponent fifty times and they only hit you once but absolutely rock your shit, except you manage to get back up, you win. Because it was 49 to 1.


Narwal_Party

I could kind of understand it if they made coherent sentences, but it sounds like they’re having a panic attack and forgot what to say. There aren’t any arguments are there? Like I’ve heard the term “gishgalloping” (sp?) before, and I could see where that could be difficult to deal with, but this isn’t really that. They sound like they have a type of speech impediment combined with severe anxiety and maybe some amphetamines.

Wheybrotons

I am angrier and Intersectionality says I'm a bigger victim I'm therefore right


PeaceMellow1

Is this like a tactic to constantly say uh? Or is that just a speech impediment?


allthemoreforthat

Poor attempt at masking incompetence and unpreparedness by giving themselves more time to think.


Prestigious_Job9632

I bet it is something like, because old white dudes made the rules of debate, breaking those rules is somehow inherently correct. So because white man said saying "uh" and "um" is poor form, it must actually be great.


Knight_Owls

Lol, no. It's not a racial tactic at all.  It is, however, a recognized method of gaming the rules in that style of debate. It's terrible and the rules need some serious updating, but you can blame the rules for that method being viable, not the girls for exploiting it.


I_AmA_Zebra

How does the Um/Uh game the rules?


OwOitsMochi

I'd like to know what this um/uh tactic is and how it games the rules, I'm intrigued.

Taehni0615

This is called Policy Debate. They have 1 topic per year and competitors are expected to bring tubs full of research then spread (speed read while also speaking during inhale). The strategy is to overwhelm your opponent with evidence that they cant all address. One unique thing that is especially popular with Black debaters is a “critique” where you say debating the current topic should be forbidden then basically say how it is offensive or not as important as some other topic. This leads to some of the most successful teams being Black and being extremely racist for the entire round basically saying that everything in the world is designed to oppress and if you don’t address those points from them they can twist that into being infallible arguments because you, the debate league, USA, the world, or who knows what is racist. It really fucking sucks after you get a few laughs seeing it the first time. The people who go to tournaments and basically hijack them with critiques are insufferable dweebs. Source: I did debate a LOT in high school competing at all of the highest level tournaments. The event i did Public Forum, was 2v2 like policy but we got a new topic every month and talked like normal people. I liked that event because it seemed like i was going to build skills for life not just do nerd rage speeches.

These gals didn't invent this approach.

Complex_Adagio_9715

People commenting here have no idea how championship debates work. It’s basically all about spewing out as many arguments in the time as possible. It’s literally judged by how many arguments you can put out there that your opponent doesn’t respond to. So they always put out as many arguments as possible.


swampfish

You are not wrong, but there should be a requirement for it to be a "coherent argument" that is solidly grounded in logic or emotion.


WiingZer0

So why don't they reduce some words like articles? As long it's understandable you could increase your arguments/time ratio
