Nchifukwa Chiyani Ali Osauka Okonda Chidziko?

By David Swanson, June 15, 2018.

Tiyenera kuyamikira kwambiri Francesco Duina chifukwa cha buku lake latsopano, Kusiyana ndi Kukonda Dziko: N'chifukwa Chiyani Osauka Achimerika Amakonda Dziko Lawo?. Akuyamba ndi vuto lotsatira. Osauka ku United States ali osiyana kwambiri ndi ena m'mayiko ena olemera, koma ali okonda dziko kusiyana ndi osauka m'mayiko ena komanso kukonda dziko lawo kuposa anthu olemera m'dziko lawo. Dziko lawo ndilo (pakati pa maiko olemera) pamwamba pa kusalinganizana, ndikumalowetsa chithandizo, ndipo amakhulupirira kwambiri kuti United States "ili bwino kuposa mayiko ena." Chifukwa chiyani?

Duina sanayesere kudzidodometsa yekha. Anapita kukafufuza anthu osauka m'dziko la Alabama ndi Montana. Anapeza kusiyana pakati pa malo awiriwa, monga anthu okonda boma powathandiza pang'ono ndipo anthu amakonda boma chifukwa chosawathandiza konse. Anapeza kusiyana pakati pa amuna ndi akazi ndi mafuko, koma ambiri adapeza kukonda kwambiri dziko kumangidwa mofanana ndi ziganizo zofanana.

Ndikuganiza kuti ndibwino kuwonetsa kuti Achimereka olemera ndi ochepa chabe okonda dziko lawo kuposa osauka a ku America, komanso kuti funso loti munthu ayenera kukonda chikhalidwe chomwe chimapangitsa kuti anthu azivutika kwambiri ndizofanana ndi chifukwa chake munthu ayenera kukonda bungwe lomwe limapanga kuvutika kwa inu nokha (ndikuti kuzunzika kwakukulu kumene boma la United States likupanga kuli kunja kwa United States). Ndikuganiza kuti zambiri zomwe Duina adapeza pakati pa osauka zikhoza kupezeka mwa anthu osiyanasiyana osauka.

Duina amalemekeza kwambiri anthu onse omwe adayankhula nawo, ndipo amaphunzira kwambiri pulogalamu yake. Koma akuwongolera mawu ake omwe amafunsidwa kuti awonetsetse bwino, ndikuganiza, kuti kukonda dziko lawo kwakukulu ndi chikhulupiriro chopembedza chonyenga chokha chifukwa cha kusadziwa ndi kupeŵa zowona. Monga momwe olemera ochepa aliri owonjezera chipembedzo, amakhalanso okonda kwambiri dziko, ndipo sakupeza mzere woonekera pakati pa awiriwo. Duina akunena kuti anthu ambiri omwe adalankhula nawo adamutsimikizira kuti Mulungu amakonda dziko la United States pamwamba pa mitundu yonse. Mwamuna wina adafotokozeranso kuti mwini wake wokonda dziko lake ndi wokonda kwambiri kukonda china chake pamene akuvutika, chinachake chopatsa "ulemu." Ndipotu, pali kufanana kwa tsankho pakati pa a US, ambiri osauka a ku America kwa zaka mazana ambiri atha ku lingaliro lakuti iwo ali abwino kuposa omwe sanali azungu. Chikhulupiliro chakuti pafupifupi chimodzi ndi chabwino kuposa anthu omwe si Achimerika akufalikira kudera lililonse.

Duina akunena kuti ngakhale kwa iwo amene akulimbana ndi chikhulupiliro chonse kuti zonse ziri zolondola ndi zolungama ndi dongosolo lozungulira iwo zingakhale zophweka m'malingaliro kusiyana ndi kuzindikira kupanda chilungamo. Ngati anthu anali abwino, chodabwitsa, kukonda dziko lawo kungachepetse. Kukonda dziko lawo kumachepetsanso pamene maphunziro akuwonjezeka. Ndipo zikuwoneka kuti zikutaya ngati mtundu wina wa chidziwitso ndi maganizo. Monga momwe anthu apezedwa kuti akondweretse mtundu wa anthu mosiyana ndi momwe angathe kukhazikitsa pamapu, ndikuganiza kuti anthu sangathe kukhulupirira kuti United States amawachitira bwino kuposa dziko la Scandinavia ngati akadadziwa zoona za mayiko a ku Scandinavia. Pakali pano sakuganiza.

Duina akulemba anthu omwe anamutsimikizira kuti Sweden aliyense amathawa Sweden atangomaliza maphunziro awo a koleji, kuti Canada akhoza kukhala ndi chithandizo chamankhwala koma ndi chigawenga, kuti ku Germany kapena ku Russia iwo adzadula dzanja lanu kapena lirime lanu, kuti m'dziko la Japan la chikomyunizimu iwo adzalanda mutu wanu poyankhula motsutsana ndi pulezidenti, ndi zina zotero. Kodi zikhulupiliro zonsezi, zofanana (zomwe zimasokoneza mitundu ina) zingakhale zopanda chilungamo? Mwamuna wina akutsimikizira Duina kuti mayiko ena ali otsika chifukwa amachititsa anthu kuphedwa, ndipo amalimbikitsa kuti anthu aphedwe ku United States. Anthu ambiri amalengeza kuti apamwamba a United States chifukwa ali ndi ufulu wa chipembedzo, ndiyeno amakana lingaliro lakuti aliyense wosakhala Mkhristu akhoza kukhala pulezidenti wa US. Anthu opanda pokhala amamutsimikizira kuti United States ndi malo omwe ali ndi quintessential mwayi.

Ambiri amalankhula za "ufulu," ndipo nthawi zambiri amatanthawuza ufulu umene watchulidwa mu Bill of Rights, koma mwa ena iwo amatanthauza ufulu woyenda kapena kuyendetsa galimoto. Iwo amasiyanitsa ufulu uwu kuti uyendetsedwe ndi maulamuliro, ngakhale kuti ali ndi zochepa zochepa kapena zopanda chidziwitso ndi maulamuliro, ngakhale kuti zikuwoneka zosiyana kwambiri ndi chinachake osauka Achimerika angakhale odziwa zambiri ndi: kutsekera mndende.

Chikhulupiriro chakuti nkhondo za mayiko akunja zimapindulitsa anthu omwe amazunzidwa ndipo zimasonyeza kuti ndi zachilengedwe, ndipo mayiko akunja nthawi zambiri amalekanitsidwa chifukwa chokhala ndi nkhondo (popanda kuzindikira kuti nkhondo zambiri zimaphatikizapo asilikali a US omwe amathandizidwa ndi mamiliyoni ambirimbiri ndalama zomwe zidzafunike kuthetsa umphawi ku United States). Mwamuna wina amakhulupirira kuti dziko la Vietnam lidali logawikana ngati theka la Korea. Wina amakhulupirira kuti purezidenti wa Iraq adayitana United States kuti amenyane nayo. Wina akungoyamika ku United States kuti ali ndi "asilikali abwino kwambiri." Akafunsidwa za mbendera ya ku United States, ambiri nthawi yomweyo amanyadira "ufulu" ndi "nkhondo." Obertbert ena ochepa adanena kuti akuthandiza asilikali kubwerera kwawo, akudzudzula mitundu ina chifukwa cha kusakhutira kukhala wotukuka - kuphatikizapo a ku Middle East, omwe "sanakhalepo chitukuko."

Palinso kuthandizira kwakukulu kotere kwa kuphulika kwakukulu kwa mfuti ku United States monga chinthu chomwe chimapangitsa United States kukhala wapamwamba.

Cholakwika chimodzi chimachokera ku mayiko ena akuchotsa ana kutali ndi makolo, komabe wina amatsutsa kuti ena omwe amatsutsa mwambo umenewu apeza njira yothetsera izo kapena osadziŵa izo mu nkhani zatsopano za United States.

Chimodzi mwa zolakwitsa zambiri, ngakhale, ndichokudula mitu ya anthu. Izi zikuwoneka ngati momwe anthu ambiri amachitira zolakwika ndi dziko lachilendo, kuti ndikudabwa ngati thandizo la US ku Saudi Arabia ndilo gawo lothandizira kuti anthu a US akhazikitsidwe.

Mwachidziwitso, anthu a ku United States akhala akukakamizidwa kuti azifanizira nthawi zonse United States ndi mayiko osauka, kuphatikizapo mayiko kumene boma la US limathandizira olamulira mwankhanza kapena limapangitsa mavuto a zachuma, ndipo osati ndi mayiko olemera. Kukhalapo kwa maiko omwe akuipiraipira, ndi omwe othawa kwawo amathawira ku United States nthawi zambiri amatengedwa ngati umboni wa Greatest Nation pa Earth, ngakhale kuti mayiko ena olemera ali abwino ndi okhudzidwa ndi othawa kwawo.

Zotsatirazi zikuphatikizapo anthu omwe akufunitsitsa kulandira zopanda chilungamo, anthu omwe akufunitsitsa kutsata ndandale omwe akulonjeza kuwatsitsa koma kuti azikonda dziko lawo, kuwathandiza pagulu komanso kuthana ndi malamulo ndi mgwirizano wa mayiko, komanso anthu omwe akufuna kukana kupita patsogolo malamulo a zaumoyo kapena malamulo a mfuti kapena ndondomeko za nyengo kapena maphunziro a maphunziro ngati apangidwa m'mayiko ena.

Bukhuli limatiuza zambiri za kumene Trump inachokera ku miyezi yambiri ya 18 ya nkhani za cable, koma Trump ndizochepa.
