Ndi David Swanson, World BEYOND War, March 2, 2023
Pamene wojambula zithunzi adadzudzulidwa posachedwa ndikuchotsedwa chifukwa cha tsankho, Jon Schwarz. anafotokoza kuti kuipidwa kwake ndi anthu akuda kaamba ka kusayamikira zimene azungu amawachitira kunafanana ndi mkwiyo womwewo kwa zaka zambiri chifukwa cha kusayamika kwa akapolo, Amwenye Achimereka olandidwa, ndi kuphulitsidwa ndi mabomba ndi kuukira anthu a ku Vietnam ndi Iraq. Ponena za kufunika kothokoza, Schwarz akulemba kuti, "chiwawa choipitsitsa kwambiri chamitundu m'mbiri ya US chakhala chikutsatiridwa ndi mawu otere ochokera kwa azungu aku America."
Sindikudziwa ngati izi ndi zoona nthawi zonse kapena zomwe zimakhala zovuta kwambiri, makamaka ngati pali maubwenzi oyambitsa, ngati alipo, pakati pa zinthu zamisala zomwe anthu amachita ndi zopenga zomwe anthu amanena. Koma ndikudziwa kuti chitsanzochi ndi chachitali komanso chofala, komanso kuti zitsanzo za Schwarz ndi zitsanzo zochepa chabe. Ndikuganizanso kuti chizoloŵezi chofuna kuyamikira chakhala chothandizira kulungamitsa ufumu wa US kwa zaka mazana awiri.
Sindikudziwa ngati chikhalidwe cha chikhalidwe cha US chikuyenera kulemekezedwa, koma mchitidwewu wafalikira kapena kukhazikitsidwa m'malo ena. A nkhani ku Nigeria akuyamba:
"Nthawi zambiri, gulu la Special Anti-Robbery Squad (SARS) likupitilizabe kuzunzidwa komanso kunyozedwa ndi anthu aku Nigerian, pomwe ogwira nawo ntchito amafa tsiku lililonse kuteteza anthu aku Nigeria kwa zigawenga ndi achifwamba omwe akuwononga dziko lathu lonse, ndikugwira. anthu athu ogwidwa. Zifukwa zomwe zimawopseza gululi nthawi zambiri zimatengera kuzunzidwa, kulanda, ndipo nthawi zambiri, kupha anthu omwe akuganiziridwa kuti ndi zigawenga komanso anthu osalakwa. Nthawi zambiri, milandu yambiri yotsutsana ndi SARS imakhala zabodza. ”
Chifukwa chake, nthawi zina anthu abwinowa amapha, amalanda, ndi kuzunza, ndipo chifukwa cha izi "amanyozedwa" pafupipafupi. Nthawi zambiri ndimakumbukira ndikuwerenga mawu omwewo onena za kulanda kwa US ku Iraq. Sizinawonekere kukhala zomveka. Mofananamo, mfundo yakuti nthawi zambiri apolisi aku US samapha anthu akuda sichinandipangitsepo kuti zikhala bwino akamatero. Ndimakumbukiranso kuwona zisankho zaku US zikupeza kuti anthu amakhulupirira kuti ma Iraqi anali othokoza chifukwa cha nkhondo ya Iraq, komanso kuti United States idavutika kwambiri kuposa Iraq chifukwa chankhondo. (Nayi chisankho momwe oyankha ku US akuti Iraq ili bwino ndipo US ikuipiraipira chifukwa cha kuwonongedwa kwa US ku Iraq.)
Zomwe zimandibweretsanso ku funso la imperialism. Posachedwapa ndafufuza ndikulemba buku lotchedwa Chiphunzitso cha Monroe pa 200 ndi Chomwe Mungasinthire nacho. M’menemo ndinalemba kuti:
"M'misonkhano ya nduna yotsogolera ku Monroe's State of the Union mu 1823, panali zokambirana zambiri zowonjezera Cuba ndi Texas ku United States. Nthawi zambiri ankakhulupirira kuti malowa angafune kujowina. Izi zinali zogwirizana ndi zomwe mamembala a nduna za boma ankakonda kukambirana za kukula, osati monga utsamunda kapena ufumu wa imperialism, koma zotsutsana ndi utsamunda. Potsutsana ndi ulamuliro wa atsamunda a ku Ulaya, komanso pokhulupirira kuti aliyense ali ndi ufulu wosankha kuti asankhe kukhala mbali ya United States, amunawa anatha kumvetsa imperialism monga anti-imperialism. Choncho mfundo yakuti Chiphunzitso cha Monroe chinafuna kuletsa zochita za ku Ulaya ku Western Hemisphere koma sananene chilichonse choletsa zochita za US ku Western Hemisphere ndizofunika kwambiri. Monroe anali kuchenjeza dziko la Russia kuti lichoke ku Oregon ndikunena kuti US ili ndi ufulu wolanda Oregon. Amachenjezanso maboma aku Europe kuti achoke ku Latin America, pomwe samachenjeza boma la US kuti lichoke. Onse anali kuvomereza kulowererapo kwa US ndikufotokozera chifukwa chake (kutetezedwa kwa Azungu), chinthu chowopsa kwambiri kuposa kungolengeza zolinga zachifumu."
Mwa kuyankhula kwina, imperialism yamvetsetsedwa, ngakhale ndi olemba ake, monga anti-imperialism kupyolera mwa awiri a sleights-hand-hand.
Choyamba ndi kusonyeza kuyamikira. Ndithudi palibe aliyense ku Cuba sangafune kukhala mbali ya United States. Ndithudi palibe amene angafune kumasulidwa ku Iraq. Ndipo ngati anena kuti sakufuna, amangofunika kuunikira. Pamapeto pake iwo adzakhala oyamikira ngati sali otsika kwambiri kuti azitha kuzilamulira kapena otopa kwambiri kuti asavomereze.
Chachiwiri ndi kutsutsana ndi ufumu wa munthu wina kapena nkhanza zake. Zachidziwikire kuti United States iyenera kupondereza Philippines pansi pa nsapato zabwino kapena wina angatero. Ndithudi United States iyenera kulanda kumadzulo kwa North America kapena winawake atero. Ndithudi United States iyenera kudzaza Eastern Europe ndi zida ndi asilikali kapena Russia idzatero.
Zinthu izi si zabodza, koma zosiyana ndi zoona. Kuika malo ndi zida kumapangitsa ena kuti azichita chimodzimodzi, monga momwe kugonjetsa anthu kumawapangitsa kukhala osiyana ndi oyamikira.
Koma ngati mujambula kamera pamphindi yoyenera, katswiri wa alchemist akhoza kuphatikiza zonyenga ziwirizo kukhala mphindi ya choonadi. Anthu aku Cuba ali okondwa kuchotsedwa ku Spain, aku Iraq okondwa kuchotsedwa Saddam Hussein, kwakanthawi pang'ono asanazindikire kuti asitikali aku US - m'mawu a malonda a Navy - mphamvu yabwino (kugogomezera "zabwino") .
Zachidziwikire, pali ziwonetsero zosonyeza kuti boma la Russia likuyembekeza kuyamika bomba lililonse lomwe liponya ku Ukraine, ndipo kuwonongeka kwake kulikonse kumayenera kuganiziridwa kuti ndikulimbana ndi ma imperialism a US. Ndipo izi ndizamisala, ngakhale aku Crimea anali othokoza kwambiri kulowanso ku Russia (ochepera atapatsidwa zosankha zomwe zilipo), monga momwe anthu ena amayamikirira zinthu zina zomwe boma la US limachita.
Koma ngati US ikanagwiritsa ntchito mwachifundo kapena monyinyirika kuti athane ndi chiwopsezo chachikulu chaulamuliro wa wina aliyense, kuvota kukanakhala kosiyana. Mayiko ambiri adafunsidwa mu December 2013 ndi Gallup wotchedwa United States ndiye chiwopsezo chachikulu chamtendere padziko lapansi, ndi Pew apezeka malingaliro amenewo adakula mu 2017. Sindikusankha zisankho izi. Makampani oponya voti awa, monga ena omwe adawatsogolera, adangofunsa mafunso amenewo kamodzi, osabwerezanso. Iwo anali ataphunzira phunziro lawo.
Mu 1987, Phyllis Schlafly, yemwe anali wolimba mtima kwambiri, adafalitsa lipoti lachikondwerero pazochitika za US State Department zokondwerera Chiphunzitso cha Monroe:
"Gulu la anthu olemekezeka ochokera ku North America continent adasonkhana ku US State Department Diplomatic Rooms pa April 28, 1987 kuti alengeze za nyonga ndi kufunikira kwa Chiphunzitso cha Monroe. Zinali zochitika zandale, mbiri yakale komanso chikhalidwe cha anthu. Pulezidenti wa Grenada Herbert A. Blaize adanena momwe dziko lake likuyamikira kuti Ronald Reagan adagwiritsa ntchito Chiphunzitso cha Monroe kumasula Grenada mu 1983. Pulezidenti Eugenia Charles wa ku Dominica adalimbikitsa kuyamikira kumeneku. . . Mlembi wa boma George Shultz ananena za kuopseza kwa Chiphunzitso cha Monroe choperekedwa ndi ulamuliro wa Chikomyunizimu ku Nicaragua, ndipo anatilimbikitsa kuti tigwiritse ntchito ndondomeko yomwe ili ndi dzina la Monroe. Kenako adawululira kwa anthu chithunzi chokongola cha Rembrandt Peale cha James Monroe, chomwe chasungidwa mwachinsinsi mpaka pano ndi mbadwa za Monroe. Mphotho za 'Monroe Doctrine' zinaperekedwa kwa opanga malingaliro omwe mawu awo ndi zochita zawo 'zimachirikiza kupitiriza kwa Chiphunzitso cha Monroe.'”
Izi zikuwonetsa chithandizo chofunikira pazamkhutu zomwe zimawoneka ngati zachisawawa zofuna kuthokozedwa kwa omwe akuzunzidwa: maboma omvera apereka chiyamiko chimenecho m'malo mwa anthu omwe akuzunzidwa. Amadziwa kuti ndi zomwe zimafunidwa kwambiri, ndipo amazipereka. Ndipo ngati apereka, n’chifukwa chiyani ena sangapereke?
Makampani opanga zida pakali pano sangathokoze purezidenti wa Ukraine chifukwa chowagulitsa bwino kwambiri pomwe Purezidenti wa Ukraine sanapange luso lothokoza boma la US. Ndipo ngati zonse zitatha ndi zida za nyukiliya zomwe zikuzungulira padziko lonse lapansi, mutha kukhala otsimikiza kuti gulu lapadera la jeti likhala likujambula mlengalenga ndi njira zotulutsa mpweya zomwe zikuwerengedwa kuti "Mwalandiridwa!"
