Please feel free to contribute but bear in mind that if your suggestion is too silly or unpopular, it's not going to be picked up, feel free to quote others' suggestions that you liked or disliked and say why you like or dislike the topic.

Please avoid any direct help other than to point out a severe flaw in wording of a resolution that rigs it for one side, in your eyes.

Can you expand on the Olympics debate's context?

You seem to be arguing that you want it to be even more monolothic, not less.

Regardless, I am curious if anything other than Russia vs Ukraine counts as a hot, current debate topic that isn't some really one-sided covid resolution.

Monolithic implies all in one time and place.  I argue if the Olympics were diversified temporally and geographically according to the priorities of fans and athletes, the Olympics brand might be more prevalent and sustainable.
