Mwedzi mumwe chete mumakore gumi, tinosangana nenjodzi iri kuramba ichipera yenyukireya apocalypse. Kuurayiwa kwehurumende yeUnited States kuIran General Soleimani muna Ndira 3 kwakawedzera kutyisidzira chaiko kweimwe hondo yakaitika mu Middle East. Musi waNdira 23, Bulletin yeAatomic Scientists nekudaro vanogadzirisa Doomsday Clock kusvika kungori nemasekondi 100 kusvika pakati pehusiku, apocalypse.
Isu tinoudzwa kuti kurwa kwakanaka kutidzivirira kubva ku "magandanga" asi kudzoka pamitero yeUS $ 1 trillion pagore rekudyara mu "dziviriro yemari yekuzvidzivirira" yakaderera kubva ku2001 kusvika ku2014, apo hugandanga hwakakwira. Maererano ne Global Terrorism Index, ugandanga hwawedzera mukati meyainzi "hondo pamusoro pekutyisa," zvirinani kusvika 2014, pakupedzisira unoderera izvozvi huwandu hwekufa asi chaizvo zvichikwira zvichienderana nenhamba dzenyika dziri kutambudzwa nekutyisidzira. Vatapi venhau vasingaverengeki, vanoongorora hurumende yemubatanidzwa, uye vaimbove vakuru vemauto vakataura kuti kupindira kwemauto eUS, kusanganisira chirongwa cheDoneone, kunogona kukonzera kuwedzera kwesimba remagandanga uye zviitiko, zvichikonzera mhirizhonga yakawanda kupfuura yavanodzivirira. Vanotsvagira Erica Chenoweth naMaria Stephan vakaratidza zvakawoneka kuti, kubva 1900 kusvika 2006, kusapindirana kwakapokana kwakabudirira zvakapetwa kaviri kupokana nezvombo uye kwakaguma nekuzvitonga kwakadzama kwema demokrasi nemukana mushoma wekudzokera kumhirizhonga yevagari vekunze pamwe nedzimwe nyika. Hondo haitiiti zvakanyanya; tiri kuzvipfumisa isu nekutsemura ropa remutero kumadhora ari kure hondo dzinotambudza, kukuvadza, uye kuuraya vadikani vedu, pamwe nemamiriyoni evasina kudzvanywa mazita kunze kwenyika.
Panguva ino, isu tiri kuhukura dendere redu pachedu. Mauto eU.S. ari pakati pemahombekombe matatu epamusoro anosvibisa enzira dzemvura dzeUS. Kushandiswa kwemauto kunonzi "zvachose makemikari," akadai sePFOS nePCA, zvakasvibisa mvura yepasi pemazana munharaunda dziri padyo nemauto eUS kumba uye nekune dzimwe nyika. Tinonzwa nezvenhau dzine chepfu dzemvura dzakashata senge Flint, Michigan, asi zvishoma kwazvo zvinotaurwa nezvedambudziko rehutano revanhu rakaitika mukati meuto reUnited States rakazara nemabhasiti epamba anopfuura chiuru nemasere 1,000 ekunze. Izvi zvine chepfu uye zvingangoita carcinogenic PFOS uye PFOA makemikari, ayo anoshandiswa muchiuto anodzimira moto pfuti, ane zvinyorwa zvakanaka zvine hutano, zvakaita sechirwere chegodo, kusagadzikana kwekubereka, kunonoka kukura, uye kusabereka. Pamusoro peiyi dambudziko risingazivetsi remvura, semutengi mukuru wepasi rose weoiri, mauto eUS ndiye mukuru mupiro kune epasi rose greenhouse gasi kubuda. Militarism inosvibisa.
Tichiri kupusha mvura yedu, isu tiri kudururawo marata edu. Makumi matatu emamiriyoni vekuAmerica havana inishuwarenzi yehutano. Hafu yemamiriyoni eAmerica vanorara kunze mumigwagwa manheru ega ega. Mwana mumwe chete pavatanhatu anogara mudzimba dzisina kuchengetedza chikafu. Vane mamirioni makumi mashanu neshanu vekuAmerica vakaremerwa nemadhora anodarika mazana matanhatu emadhora chikwereti chemudzidzi. Uye zvakadaro isu tinosimbisa bhajeti rehondo rakakura seanotevera manomwe makuru ehondo emauto akabatanidzwa kana tikashandisa Mauto eUS nhamba dzako. Kana tikashandisa nhamba chaiyo inosanganisira isiri yePentagon bhajeti yekushandisa (semuenzaniso, zvombo zvenyukireya, zvakabhadharwa kunze kweDhipatimendi reNgezi bhajeti), tinodzidza kuti chaiyeiye US mauto bhajeti zvinopfuura zvakapetwa kaviri izvo Pentagon pamutemo bhajeti iri. Naizvozvo, iyo US inoshandisa yakawanda muchiuto yaro kupfuura mamwe mauto ese epasi akasanganiswa.
Nyika yedu iri kunetseka. Tinorinzwa richidzokororwa mumakwikwi e2020 emutungamiri, angave kubva kune vanovimba nedemokrasi kana kubva kuna VaTrump, vazhinji vanovhotera vanodzokera kunotaura pfungwa nezve kudiwa kwekugadzirisa hurongwa hwedu hwakaputsika nehuwori, kunyange hazvo vachibvuma kuti maitiro avo ekuchinja shanduko akasiyana zvakanyanya. Ehe, chimwe chinhu chakamhanya munyika ine inoita kunge isingaperi matirioni euto risati ramboongororwa, asi ishoma zviwanikwa zvezvose zvimwe.
Tinoendepiko tichibva pano? Nhamba yekutanga, tinogona kubvisa rutsigiro rwedu mukusashanda mari yemauto. At World BEYOND War, tiri kuronga divestment kampeni kutenderera nyika kupa vanhu maturusi ekutsikisa mari yavo yekuzorora, mari dzekuchikoro dzekuyunivhesiti, mari yavo yemaguta yepension, uye zvimwe, kubva kuzvombo nehondo. Kuburitswa inzira yedu yekubatanidza hurongwa nekutaura kuti hatichabhadhara hondo dzisingaperi nemadhora edu akasarudzika kana veruzhinji. Isu takatungamira mushandirapamwe wakabudirira kuenda kunodzika Charlottesville kubva kuzvombo gore rapfuura. Guta rako rinotevera here?
