Round 3: THW allow civil lawsuits against religious leaders/organisations for damages caused by adherence to the religion (e.g. rejecting medical treatment according to doctrine)

Round 5: THBT it is in the interest of the US to adopt a heavily non interventionist military policy (e.g. significantly reducing expenditure on the military, committing to not using its military except in self defense, shutting down drone strikes programs)

Quarters: As social justice movements, THW also embrace violent wings within movements.

Finals: TH prefers a world in which the USA was founded as a parliamentary democracy
