IiCanaries eziFileyo

"Abantu abaninzi bacinga ukuba umlo waseMelika sele ulahlekile. Ayinakuba nangakumbi. Esi sisiqalo nje somlo wokulwela iMelika neYurophu. Ndiwongekile ukuba ndiye kulo dabi lokubuyisa ilizwe lam ekutshatyalalisweni.

Le yindlela umbulali ka-El Paso aphela ngayo ukugqwesa okumhlophe esikweni, uthumele ngaphambi nje kokuba "ungene" kwaye wabulala "abahlaseli" be-22 ababethenga kwivenkile yaseWalmart kule mpelaveki iphelileyo. Kwaye, njengoko wonke umntu esazi, isiqingatha semini kamva enye indoda eyayixhobile eyayinxibe izixhobo zomzimba kunye nemidlalo ye-semiautomatic yahamba kwindawo yokudubula ngaphandle kwebhari e-Dayton, e-Ohio, yabulala abasithoba kwaye yenzakalisa i-26. Kwaye kwiintsuku ezimbalwa ngaphambili, umntu owayephethe umpu wabulala abantu abathathu, kubandakanya abantwana ababini, kumnyhadala owawuseGilroy, eCalif.

Ke yintoni enye into entsha? Ngaba kufuneka sicule umhobe wesizwe?

Kukho into embi kakhulu kweli lizwe phantse i-400 yezigidi zemipu -Iphosakele ngaphaya kwesisombululo ngokulawulwa kwemipu okanye amanyathelo okhuselo. . . kwiindawo zokuthenga, ezikolweni, kwiminyhadala yegalikhi, kwiicawe, kwiitempile, kwizindlu zesikhungu nakwezinye iindawo. Abantu baseMelika babulalana kwi-avareji ye ukudubula okuninzi ngosuku. Inokwenzeka njani le nto? Yeyiphi ityhefu egcwele kwiziseko zophuhliso loluntu?

Phantse kwiminyaka esixhenxe eyadlulayo, emva kokudutyulwa okwothusayo eSandy Hook Elementary School, ingcali kwezentlalo Peter Turchin Sibize ukubulawa kwesizwe ngobuninzi, obekusanda ngesiqingatha senkulungwane edlulileyo, "yimigodi yemigodi yamalahle."

Ubhale wathi: “Isizathu sokuba sibe nexhala malunga nokuxinana. . . Kungenxa yokuba luphawu oluphambili lwezinto ezimbi eziqhubekayo zisebenza kwinqanaba labo elinzulu eluntwini. "

Ngamanye amagama, ezimbi kwaye zoyikisayo njengoko iziganeko zinjalo kwaye ziyiyo, ziyimiqondiso edibeneyo yesiphosiso esimiliselwe ngaphakathi kwiziseko zophuhliso zentlalo ekufuneka zifunyanisiwe zaza zalungiswa. Ubuhlanga yinxalenye yabo kuphela. Imipu yinxalenye yayo kuphela.

Cinga ngemithombo yemithombo yeendaba emva kokudutyulwa kuka-El Paso esithi "lulwaphulo-mthetho olunentiyo." Abantu abamsulwa bafile akunandaba nokuba uyibiza ntoni na. Ukucamngca nokuba kungathathelwa ingqalelo lulwaphulo-mthetho lwenzondo kwabonakala njenge-nitpicky kum njengoko ndibonisa ukuba umdubuli akabulalanga nje abantu be-22 kodwa wamisa imoto yakhe ngokungekho mthethweni ngaphambi kokungena eWalmart.

Nantsi into eyayi: a dehumanization ulwaphulo-mthetho. Kuzo zonke iindlela zokudubula kwabantu abaninzi ebezake zenzeka, umbulali wayenganxibelelani buqu nexhoba lakhe. Babengengobantu, yayizezimpawu zobubi boluntu awayebone ngabo okanye, kakhulu, ukonakala kwembambano.

I-Turchin ibize le "ntlalontle" - ukufaka iqela labantu kwinto ephosakeleyo, ibabiza ngokuba ziintshaba ngenxa yobuhlanga babo, inkolo, ukubakho eklasini okanye nasiphi na esinye isizathu.

Ukubandakanyeka ngoko kunenye igama. Ibizwa ngokuba iya emfazweni.

UTurchin wabhala: “Kwidabi lomlo, kuya kufuneka uzame ukubulala umntu ongazange wambona ngaphambili. Awuzami kumbulala lo mntu, udubula ngoba unxibe iyunifomu yotshaba. . . . Iintshaba eziziintshaba zibambekile kuluntu. ”

Zingwevu. Zii-nip. Ziyi-hadjis.

Ukubhala emva kwendlela yokubulawa kwabantu ngoMeyi (eVirginia Beach), Ndiqaphele: "Imfazwe yindibaniselwano yokuguqula ubuntu kunye nokubulala utshaba kunye nabo nabaphi na abantu abasesendleleni (umrhumo wengozo), kwaye nokuzukisa inkqubo: oko kukuthi, ukubulala abantu abaninzi kunye nobudlelwane boluntu."

Xa sibhiyozela imfazwe, siyibingelele kwaye siyihlonele, asibhiyozeli izidumbu kumangcwaba abantu okanye izixeko ezichithwe yibhombu nakwiidolophana nakwiipati zomtshato. Asibhiyozeli i-radioactive fallout, iziphene zokuzalwa ezibangelwa kukungasebenzi kakuhle kwe-uranium okanye umkhosi ojikeleze umhlaba ongenabungozi obonakalayo ekunciphiseni kwendalo yomhlaba. Asibhiyozeli i-PTSD kunye nenqanaba eliphezulu lokuzibulala phakathi kwezilwanyana.

Sibhiyozela iflegi yokusalela kunye nomhobe wesizwe, uzuko nenkalipho nobuqhawe. Yonke le nto ivuselela intliziyo - ngakumbi intliziyo yendoda-efana nokunye. Yonke le nto indibuyisela kwisikalo sokubulawa kukaEl Paso. Uhambile, exhobile, esiya kwivenkile yokuthenga ukuya kubulala omama notata bathengela abantwana babo iimpahla zesikolo ukuze "babuyise ilizwe lam entshabalalweni."

Wayedlala imfazwe. Ingqikelelo yam kukuba bonke badlala imfazwe, ngandlela-thile okanye kwenye. Nokuba ukubulawa kwesinhanha ngugqirha - okanye ipesenti enkulu yabo - banika intsingiselo kubomi babo ngokuguqula umsindo wabo kunye nokuphelelwa lithemba kukusebenza komkhosi. Xa sidibanisa ubuhlanga phakathi kunye nokufumaneka ngokulula kwezixhobo ezinobungozi, oko kuguqukela kubugrogrisi, oko kukuthi, ukubumbana ngokudibeneyo - ukubonwa kwenyanga kufikelela kwinqanaba layo kunye neendleko zabantu kuphela ngokwazi kwemfazwe ngokwayo.

Ke umbuzo wam yile: Kutheni singenakuthetha malunga nale nto kwinqanaba likazwelonke? Yimizuzu emingaphi yeengxoxo-mpikiswano ezimbini zomongameli zedemokhrasi ezazinikezelwe kuhlahlo-lwabiwo mali lokhuselo okanye izixhobo zenyukliya okanye into ye21st yenkulungwane yemfazwe? UTulsi Gabbard, ugqirha, wasebenzisa malunga nomzuzu wexesha lakhe ukulungisa lo mbandela, ethatha amanyathelo acacileyo ngokuchasene neemfazwe zethu zotshintsho. Ngaphandle koko. . . nada.

Ngaba ukhona umntu ocinga ukuba ukutshixwa kweeflethi kwizikolo zikarhulumente okanye iitsheki zokhuseleko kwiindawo zokuthenga (zakutshanje) Ikhathuni yaseNew York kuboniswe umntu obhinqileyo kwilayini yokujonga ukutya egxotha esusa izihlangu zakhe aze azibeka kwibhanti yokuhambisa) uza kusigcina sikhuselekile? Ngaba ukhona umntu okholelwa ukuba inkqubo yethu yangoku yezopolitiko iyakwazi ukujongana nokwanda kwemfazwe kunye nee-trillion zeedola-kunye nesikhupha isisu unyaka nonyaka ngenxa “yezokhuseleko lukazwelonke” kunye neentolongo kunye “nokhuseleko lomda”?

Ngaba umntu uyathandabuza ukuba ukubulawa kwabantu ngobuninzi kuya kuqhubeka?
