Kunzima ukutsho ukuba yeyiphi eyona nto imangalisayo malunga nomzuzu wethu wenkcubeko yangoku, i-neo-fascism ephazamisayo kaDonald Trump, okanye imeko yezopolitiko ebonakala ngathi iyamnkela, imkhuthaza ukuba asondele kumongameli. NjengoBernie Sanders, uye watyhola phambili ekunqweneleni kwethu ukunyanisa, ukudinwa kwethu okugqubayo ngokuthetha kabini kwezopolitiko kunye norhulumente ngorhwaphilizo, i-cronyism, kunye negridlock.
"Ubunyani" bukaTrump yingqekembe enamacala amabini: "izisombululo" zakhe ziya kukhokelela kuphela kulwahlulo olongezelelekileyo lobuhlanga kunye nodidi lwasekhaya kunye nemfazwe eqhubekayo kumazwe ngamazwe-kwaye bamema ukuphulaphula ngenyameko njengembonakaliso yesithunzi selizwe lethu, njengoko uKern Beare ebhala kwisiqwenga sakhe esicacileyo, "Ukumamela uTrump."
Abanye-ndiyathemba ukuba kuya kubakho ngokwaneleyo abaya kuthi baxhase ukugwetywa kwabo ngevoti-banokuthi ubunyani bukaTrump bubunyani obugqibeleleyo, ukubonakaliswa kweTV yokwenyani, inkcubeko yabantu abadumileyo, ukuduma ngokuduma. Kodwa ngewayengazange afikelele apha ngaphandle kokuba anike ilizwi lokwenyani kubunzima bobumnyama kwixesha lethu elidlulileyo nelinokusenzakalisa ngaphandle kokuba sihlala sizisa ekukhanyeni kokuzicingisisa kunye nenguquko.
Isithunzi ligama elilula eliquka konke esingafuniyo ukuthetha ngako, sikhetha ukukhukuliseka kwinkungu yokulula elula kunye neenyaniso ezisisiqingatha. Kulula, ngakumbi phakathi kokhuphiswano lwezopolitiko oluxananazileyo, ukutsho ukuba liqela lam lodwa eliya kubuyisela i-USA kubungangamsha obungahlukaniyo. Kunzima kakhulu ukuvuma icala lethu lesithunzi njengoko libonakaliswa kwizaqhwithi zobumnyama ezithathu ezinxibeleleneyo ezicwangciswe nguMartin Luther King Omnci. emva phayaa ngo-1967: ukuthanda izinto eziphathekayo, ubuhlanga, kunye nokulwa.
Ukuba ezi zihlala zingekho zingqondweni, siyakhukuliseka. Njengoko umongameli wethu ontsundu egqibezela izigaba ezibini, abo bakwinkongolo bachase onke amanyathelo akhe bawela kubuthongo bobuhlanga. Ukuthanda kwethu izinto eziphathekayo kukhokelele kwibala lokudlala elingalinganiyo kunye nokukhukuliseka kobutyebi namandla ukuya phezulu. UMnu. Trump ungumzekelo obalaseleyo, nangona ezenza iqabane labasebenzi. Njengoko uNick Kristof wabhala kwi-Times, ukuthanda izinto eziphathekayo kunye nobuhlanga buthungelwe kuye imbali yoshishino: “Owayesakuba yintsumpa yesakhiwo esebenzela abakwaTrump wachaza ukuba wayexelelwe ukuba abhale ikhowudi nasiphi na isicelo somntu ontsundu ngonobumba C, webala, ngokucacileyo ukuze iofisi yazi ukusikhaba. Ummeli kaTrump wokurenta wathi abakwaTrump bafuna ukurenta kuphela “kumaYuda nabaphathi,” kwaye akukhuthazi ukurenta kwabantsundu.
Kodwa esona sivunguvungu siphezulu kuyo yonke into esiye sakhukuliseka kuyo ngokungazithembi kukungajongwa kwethu emkhosini. Ubuhlanga kunye nemfazwe zii-whirlpools eziphothiweyo, njengoko sibonile mva nje kwiintlekele Dallas nangaphakathi Baton Rouge-Amagqala ase-Afrika aseMelika ajolise kumapolisa ngemipu yomkhosi kunye namaqhinga-omnye wabo wabulawa ngamapolisa axhobe ngerobhothi yokudubula yasemkhosini.
Kwaye kuzo zonke iingxoxo zomongameli ukuza kuthi ga ngoku, kuye kwakhankanywa i-zero ye-trillion-dollar isiphakamiso sokuvuselela zonke izixhobo zethu zenyukliya kwiminyaka eyi-30 ezayo-ngokungathi izixhobo zenyukliya ziyimpendulo yokwenyani kwimingeni yentlupheko, ukungakhuseleki kokutya, izifo, ukutshintsha kwemozulu, okanye ubugrogrisi. Ziziphi iimfuno zokwenene zabantu esinokuhlangabezana nazo ngokwabiwa ngokutsha kwembinana nje yaloo mawaka eebhiliyoni agalelwe kuzo zonke iziseko nezixhobo zethu zangaphandle?
Uluntu lwamazwe ngamazwe kunye ne-US ngokukodwa abanalo umbono wokuqukumbela zombini imfazwe yokugrogrisa kunye nebhalansi yenyukliya yobugrogrisi, endaweni yoko kuxhomekeke ngokupheleleyo kumkhosi wamajoni ogqithisayo, osasazwe kwihlabathi, wokulwa-nomlilo. Ukuba amandla akhohlakeleyo awancediswanga ngeenkqubo ezingenalo ubundlobongela zokufikelela kunye noxolelwaniso, ngokuthobela umthetho wamazwe ngamazwe, kunye noncedo loluntu olunobubele, ukuhlaselwa kobundlobongela, njengoko sibonile nge-ISIS, kuba yinto engenakuphepheka.
Kukho abantu kuyo yonke indawo, akwanelanga, kodwa mhlawumbi ngaphezu kokuba sinokucinga, abathe bayeka ukukhukuliseka ngokungenzi nto kwezi zaqhwithi zexesha lethu. Abantu bathanda umlweli woxolo UDavid Hartsough, osandul’ ukukhokela iqela labemi ukuya eRashiya ukuseka unxibelelwano lobuhlobo kwaye loyise iinkolelo ezingqongqo ezikhumbula imfazwe ebandayo ephelelwe lixesha yenkulungwane edluleyo. Abantu bayathanda ULen kunye noLibby Traubman, owathi iminyaka eyi-20 ihlanganise amaqela amancinci aseMerika kunye namaPalestina ukuze abelane ngesidlo, amabali okurhweba, kunye nokubeka ubuso bomntu kwingxabano ebonakala ingenakunqandwa. Abantu bayathanda UDavid Swanson, i-dervish yomntu omnye oye wahlanganisa inkomfa yoxolo enkulu eya kuba eWashington ngoSeptemba. Okanye Iipatrisse Cullors, Opal Tometi, kunye noAlicia Garza, abaseki bentshukumo yeBlack Lives Matter. Kunzima ukuqonda ukuba umntu unokuphikisa njani ukuba "ubomi babantu abamnyama" yintetho yobuhlanga xa abantu abamnyama abangaxhobilenga besenziwa. iprofayili kwaye yadubula ngamapolisa ngamazinga aphezulu kakhulu kunabamhlophe. Okanye Al Jubitz, i-Oregon philanthropist esebenza ngokungakhathali kumanyathelo abemi okuthintela imfazwe. Okanye amapolisa eAarhus, eDenmark, ngubani silwe nobunqolobi ngokwamkela umva abantu abancinci abaye bafunxa kwi-whirlpool ye-ISIS. Okanye uPaul Kando, injineli edla umhlala-phantsi kwidolophu yam encinci eMaine oye weza nesicwangciso esibanzi sokuphelisa ngokuthe ngcembe ukuthembela kwethu kwengingqi kunye norhulumente kumafutha efosili ngokuthanda utshintsho oluqaliswe ngabemi kwimithombo yamandla avuselelekayo.
Isoyikiso esiphindwe kathathu sobuhlanga, imfazwe kunye nokuthanda izinto eziphathekayo zihlala zihlula ihlabathi libe "thina" kunye "nabo," abanezithende ezintle kunye nabasweleyo, iCaucasus kunye ne-swarthy, iNtshona Yurophu epheleleyo kunye namaSilamsi abulawa kwiidolophu ezikude. iziqhushumbisi zokuzibulala azifanelanga ukuba kukhutshwe iindaba ezifanayo njengembubhiso efanayo eParis okanye eOrlando.
Intetho eshukumayo kaMichelle Obama kwiNgqungquthela yeDemokhrasi yayisebenza kakhulu kuba yayigxile kumbandela onokusimanyanisa sonke, sobabini sinobuqhetseba kunye nenkululeko: yintoni elungele abantwana bethu? Abantwana abayi kuphumelela ngaphandle kwabantu abadala ebomini babo abaye bavumelana nomthunzi wabo, kunye nenyaniso enzulu yokuba sonke singabantu kwaye asifezekanga. Kwi I-Gulag Archipelago I-Solzhenitsyn inike i-antidote echanekileyo kwi-bromides ye-Trumpian eyenza iyantlukwano kwaye ikhuthaze ukuqhubeka kwethu.: “Akwaba ibilula nje yonke loo nto! Ukuba nje bekukho abantu abakhohlakeleyo kwindawo ethile abenza izinto ezimbi ngobuqhophololo, kwaye bekufuneka kuphela ukubahlula kwabanye kwaye babatshabalalise. Kodwa umgca owahlula okulungileyo nokubi unqumla intliziyo yomntu wonke. Kwaye ngubani ozimisele ukutshabalalisa iqhekeza lentliziyo yakhe?
