UJoe noVlad kwiLizwe lamaBali

NguDavid Swanson, World BEYOND War, Februwari 4, 2023

Kwincwadi yabantwana kaChris Colfer ebizwa ILizwe lamaBali: Isilumkiso esibi, Umkhosi waseFransi waseNapoleonic wamajoni, izibhamu, amakrele kunye neenkanunu zifika kwilizwe leentsomi apho i-Red Riding Hood, i-Sleeping Beauty, kunye nazo zonke iintlobo zabantu abafanayo kunye neefairies zihlala.

Intombazana ephethe le ndawo ngoko nangoko iqalisa ukulungiselela imikhosi ukulwa nabahlaseli. Luluphi ukhetho analo? Ewe, kukho izizathu ezininzi, ezingaqhelekanga ebalini, ukuba eli asilonyathelo lobulumko ngokungathandabuzekiyo elingathandabuzekiyo ukuba umbhali kunye nabo bonke abafundi bakhe bacinga.

Intombazana ngomlingo ithutha umkhosi omkhulu kwimizuzwana nje ukuya kwindawo yokulwa nabahlaseli. Ithuba lokuthutha abahlaseli kwisiqithi esingenamntu okanye naphina enye indawo ayikaze icingelwe.

Intombazana iguqula izixhobo ezikufutshane nayo zibe ziintyatyambo. Ukuba nokwenzeka kokwenza oko kuyo yonke imipu kunye neenkanunu akukaze kucingelwe.

Intombazana, ekwayintsomi, kunye nezinye iifairies ezahlukeneyo zikhulula amajoni ngokuthanda kwakhe ngamasuntswana omlingo, kunye nezityalo zokuthakatha kwigadi yazo ukuba zenze okufanayo. Ithuba lokwenza oko bunzima ayiqwalaselwa.

Kuphela emva kokuba la macala mabini ebandakanyeke kwi-orgy yokubulawa kwabantu abaninzi, umninawa wentombazana ukhankanya umkhosi ochasayo ukuba i-portal yomlingo abafika ngayo yathatha iminyaka engama-200, ukuze ukulwela uBukhosi baseFransi benkulungwane ye-19 akunakwenzeka. Ingcamango yokuthetha nantoni na kubahlaseli ngaphambi kwemfazwe - nantoni na ukuphazamisa okanye ukukhanyisa okanye ukwesaba okanye nayiphi na enye into - ayiqwalaselwa.

Imfuneko yokuba kubekho imfazwe kweli bali, njengoko iqhelekile kubomi bokwenyani ngokunjalo, ayicingelwa nje; kucingelwa cwaka. Ingcamango yokuba umntu kufuneka abe nasiphi na isizathu sokulwa imfazwe ayikhankanywa kwaphela okanye ikhankanywe. Ngoko, akukho mibuzo okanye mathandabuzo aphakanyiswayo. Kwaye akukho kuphikisana kucacileyo xa abalinganiswa abohlukeneyo ebalini befumana amaxesha okuzingca, inkalipho, umanyano, imincili, impindezelo, nolonwabo olulusizi emfazweni. Nokuba ngaphantsi kokungakhankanywanga imfihlelo enzulu yokuba, ngelixa imfazwe ngokuqinisekileyo ngeendlela ezininzi ayinqweneleki, ngezinye iindlela ifunwa kakhulu.

Imfazwe ngokwayo, njengoko iqhelekile kubomi bokwenyani ngokunjalo, ayibonakali. Abalinganiswa abaphambili baququzelela amasimi amakhulu okubulala apho, ekugqibeleni, uninzi lwamaxhoba abulawa ngamakrele. Umlinganiswa omnye ochongiweyo ubulawa njengophawu lokufa. Kodwa ngenye indlela ukubulawa konke ngaphandle kweqonga nangona isenzo sebali sisemzimbeni kanye apho kwenzeka khona konke ukubulawa. Akuthethwa ngegazi, amathumbu, izihlunu, amalungu angekhoyo, ukugabha, uloyiko, iinyembezi, iziqalekiso, impambano, ukuchama, ukubila, iintlungu, ukuncwina, isikhalo, isikhalo. Akukho namnye umntu onzakeleyo onokugwetyelwa. Inani elikhulu labafi likhankanywa kwisivakalisi esinye “njengabalahlekileyo,” kuze kamva kubekho umsitho “omhle” wokubanika imbeko.

Intombazana esele iququzelele icala elinye lemfazwe, ngomzuzu womsindo wokungcatshwa ngumfana wakhe "wenzakalisa" amajoni ambalwa ngomlingo nangobundlobongela ukuba ngubani owaziyo apho kunye nentambo yomlingo. Phezu kwawo nje amawaka (ngokuthe cwaka nangokungenazintlungu) esifa kumadabi ekrele macala onke kuye, unomzuzwana ongokweemvakalelo wokuzithandabuza ukuba uluhlobo olunjani na lomntu obenokwenzakalisa ngokwasemzimbeni iqaqobana lamajoni awayemhlasela.

Eli linqanaba elinzulu lokungabonakali eliphunyezwa yimfazwe: ukungabonakali kokuziphatha. Sonke siyazi ukuba uJoe Biden okanye uVladimir Putin bafotwa bebetha intatheli yeendaba emlonyeni, imisebenzi yabo iya kuba iphelile. Kodwa ukuphembelela imfazwe ebulala amawaka akubonakali. Kwanemfazwe yaseUkraine, ebonakala kakhulu kuneemfazwe ezininzi, igcinwa ingabonakali, kwaye iqondwa njengento ezisolayo kuqala ngeendleko zayo zemali, okwesibini ngomngcipheko wayo we-apocalypse yenyukliya yehlabathi (nangona kunjalo kunjalo. kufanelekile ukuba ume kuPutin!) Kodwa ungalokothi ube ngumthendeleko wokubulala kunye nokutshabalalisa.

KwiLizwe lamaBali, ungawangawangisa intonga kwaye ujike umqolo wemipu esondelayo ibe ziintyatyambo. Umntu akayenzi loo nto, kuba imfazwe lelona bali lixatyiswe kakhulu; kodwa umntu unokuyenza.

E-Ukraine, akukho zixhobo zomlingo. Kodwa akukho nanye efunekayo. Sifuna kuphela amandla okuyeka ukuthintela uthethathethwano, amandla okuyeka ukubonelela ngezixhobo ezingenamkhawulo, kunye namandla okuthatha amanyathelo angqinisisekayo malunga nokuphelisa imfazwe eMpuma Yurophu kunye nokuzithoba kulawulo lomthetho wamazwe ngamazwe ukuze kuxoxwe ngendlela enoxolo. Akukho nanye kwezi engumlingo.

Kodwa ukuvuthulula ubugqwirha bonqulo lwemfazwe olugqugqisayo kwinkcubeko yethu: oko kuya kuba ngumlingo ngokwenene.
