Usuku lweSikhumbuzo lixesha lokukhumbula, ukuxabisa, nokuhlonela abazalwana abangenabanikeli abaye banikela umbingelelo ogqithiseleyo kwinkonzo yenkululeko. Ngelo xesha ilizwe lethu libonakala lihluke kakhulu, asimele sikhohlwe ukuba ngenxa yenkonzo yabo nomnikelo esiphila kwisizwe esinokuzikhethela kunye nesiphumeleleyo emhlabeni. "-Umgcini-nkampani uTom Garrett
Kuya kuba nzima ukubala zonke iinkohliso kule nkcazo ngasentla. Makhe sibonise ezimbalwa.
Masiqale nge "ininzi ekhululekile."
I-Legatum Institute yaseBrithani esekelwe i-United States 18th ngokubanzi "ukuchuma," ichaza i-28th "inkululeko."[i] I-Cato Institute yase-United States i-United States i-24th "inkululeko yomuntu" kunye ne-11th "inkululeko yezoqoqosho."[ii] I-Index yeNational Freedom Index i-United States i-27th ngokuqwalasela "uqoqosho," "kwezopolitiko," kunye "nokunyanzela" inkululeko.[iii] I-Freedom House exhaswe nguRhulumente wase-United States i-United States 16th "inkululeko yoluntu."[iv] Abangaphandle baseFransi baseTransfront ngaphandle kweMida-mali bahamba kwi-United States 43rd "kwinkululeko yokunyusa."[v] I-Foundation based Heritage Foundation yase-United States ihlanganisa i-United States 18th "inkululeko yezoqoqosho."[vi] I-Index yaseSpeyin-based Index ye-Moral Freedom inxaxheba kwi-United States 7th.[vii] AseBrithani Magazine EconomistInkcazo yeNdemokhrasi i-United States kwintsika yesithathu kwendawo ye-20th.[viii] I-CIA-inkxaso-mali ye-Polity Data Series inikezela ngentando yeninzi yase-US amanqaku we-8 ngaphandle kwe-10, kodwa inika amanye ama-58 amazwe amanqaku aphezulu.[ix] Eminye yale mijelo yemithombo inkululeko iphikisana nomnye, kunye nombono wam woluntu olungileyo. Ingongoma kukuba akukho mntu, ngakwesobunxele okanye ekunene okanye naphi na enye indawo, ubamba iUnited States njengenkokheli kwinkululeko, nangayiphi na ingcaciso - kungekhona "kwintlalo yezoqoqosho" ye-capitalism. Ukudibanisa, nangona kunjalo, inkululeko iboshwe, apho iUnited States inokuqala ukubala kwinani labantu babanjwe, kunye nokulinganiselwa komlinganiselo wokuvalelwa entolongweni (kunye nantoni enye yeeSychelles Islands).[X]
Masiqwalasele "ininzi. . . phu melela. "
I-United States inomkhiqizo omkhulu wezakhiwo zasekhaya (GDP).[xi] Kwi-GDP esekelwe ekuthenganeni kwamandla (PPP), nangona kunjalo, i-United States ihamba ngeendlela zaseChina naseYurophu.[xii] (I-PPP yindlela yokubala amaxabiso okutshintshana phakathi kweemali ezilawula ukuhluka kweendleko zokuphila kunye nexabiso.) Akukho mlinganiselo wobutyebi yi-United States inkokheli nganye.[xiii] Kwaye, nokuba kwakunjalo, oko akuthethi ukuba kuthini ukuba kubonakala kunjani kubantu abaninzi eUnited States, kuba leli lizwe elinobhakethi omkhulu wenkcitho liye lasasaza ngokungafaniyo nasiphi na isizwe esicebileyo, sinika iUnited States zombini eyona nto iqokelele iibhiliyoni[xiv] ehlabathini kunye neyona nto ephakamileyo okanye ephantse ephakamileyo yentlupheko kunye nentlupheko yabantwana phakathi kweentlanga ezizityebi.[xv] I-United States ibeka i-111th kumazwe e-150 ngokulingana kweengeniso, ngokweCIA[xvi], okanye i-100th kwi-158, ngokweBhanki yehlabathi[xvii], ngelixa ukuhanjiswa ngokulinganayo kobutyebi (umlinganiselo ohlukileyo ukusuka kwingeniso), ngokubalwa kokubalwa[xviii], iUnited States i-147th kumazwe e-152.
NgoDisemba i-2017, uMongameli weZizwe eziManyeneyo kwiNtlupheko eNgqongileyo wakhupha ingxelo malunga ne-United States equka le miqolo:[xix]
- Amazinga ase-US okufa kwabantwana kwi-2013 aphezulu kwihlabathi eliphuhlisiwe.
- Abantu baseMelika bangalindela ukuphila ubomi obancinci kunye nabagulayo, xa kuthelekiswa nabantu abahlala kwenye nayiphi na inkululeko yentando yesininzi, kunye "neengxaki zempilo" phakathi kwe-US kunye nelizwe laontanga liqhubeka likhula.
- Amanqanaba angalinganiyo e-US aphezulu kakhulu kunamazwe amaninzi aseYurophu.
- Izifo ezitshatyalaliswayo, ezinjengeZika, zixhaphake kakhulu kwi-USA. Kuqikelelwa ukuba i-12 yezigidi zabantu baseMerika bahlala kunye nokusuleleka kwintsholongwane ye-parasitic. Ingxelo ye-2017 ibonisa ukusabalalisa kwe-hookworm kwi-Lowndes County, Alabama.
- I-US inokuxhaphaka kweyona nto ephezulu kwihlabathi eliphuhlisiweyo.
- Ngokubhekiselele ekufikeleleni kwamanzi kunye nocociso lwe-US i-36th ehlabathini.
- I-America inezinga eliphezulu lokubanjwa ehlabathini, phambi kweTurkmenistan, e-El Salvador, eCuba, eThailand naseRussia Federation. Isiqingatha saso siba malunga namahlanu ngama-OECD. [I-OECD ithetha uMbutho weNtsebenziswano noPhuhliso lwezoQoqosho, inhlangano enelilungu lamazwe e-35.]
- Inqanaba lentsha-ntlupheko e-United States liphezulu kunabo bonke i-OECD kunye nekota enye yolutsha abahlala kwintlupheko xa kuthelekiswa neepesenti ezingama-14 kulo lonke i-OECD.
- I-Stanford Centre malunga nokungalingani kunye neNtlupheko ihamba kumazwe amaninzi kakhulu ngokubhekiselele kwiimarike zabasebenzi, intlupheko, ukhuseleko lomnatha, ukungalingani kobutyebi kunye nokuhamba kwezoqoqosho. I-US ifika ekupheleni kwezona zizwe ziphezulu ze-10, kunye ne-18th phakathi kwe-21 ephezulu.
- Kwi-OECD i-US i-35th kwi-37 ngokubhekiselele kwintlupheko nokungalingani.
- Ngokwe-World Income Database, i-US inomlinganiselo ophezulu weGini (ukulinganisa ukungalingani) kuwo onke amazwe aseNtshona.
- I-Stanford Centre kwi-Intlupheko nokungalingani ibonisa i-US njengento "ecacileyo nongapheliyo kwinqanaba lehlupheko lomntwana." Amazinga omfesane oonyana baka-US abaphezulu kakhulu kumazwe amathandathu acebileyo - eCanada, eUnited Kingdom, e-Ireland, eSweden naseNorway.
Ngoko ke, ayikho inzuzo kakhulu, kungekhona yidubula elide kakhulu. Kuthiwani ngethuba okanye ukuhamba koluntu? Ngaba "inkululeko" yaseUnited States ngokuqinisekileyo ibophelelwe ngcamango yokuba, ngelixa abantu abaninzi bengabutyebi kakhulu, nawuphi na onokuba ngumntu ocebileyo onomsebenzi onzima? Enyanisweni, ngelixa kukho konke okungafaniyo, kukho ukuhamba okunyuka phezulu kunye neenkalo zezoqoqosho ezigxininiswe ngakumbi eUnited States kunezinye iindawo ezicebileyo.[xx]
Ngoku, cinga "wanikela umnikelo omkhulu."
Inyaniso kukuba umkhosi "wokuzithandela" ngumsebenzi "wokuzithandela" emhlabeni ukuba umntu akavumelekanga ukuba ayeke ukuzithandela. Ukutshatyalaliswa kuthetha ityala. Akukho nomhla wokugqibela wokugqibela wekhontrakthi omele uyenze ukuba umkhosi umele ukwenze ukukhetha ukwandisa. Okwangoku ungasayineli kwindawo yokuqala ukuhlala uzinikela ngokuzithandela.
Ngokutsho kweProjekthi Yakho yoMkhosi:
"Uninzi lwabaqeshwe emkhosini luvela kwiindawo eziphantsi kwengeniso.
"Kwi-2004, iipesenti ze-71 zabasebenzi abamnyama, i-65 ekhulwini labasebenzi baseLatino, kunye ne-58 ekhulwini labafundi abamhlophe bavela kwiindawo ezingenanto ezingenanto.
"Ipesenteji yabasebenzi abaye baphumelela esikolweni esiphakamileyo esikolweni esiphantsi kwe-86 kwi-2004 kwi-73 ipesenti kwi-2006.
"[Abaqashi] abazange bathethe ukuba imali yekholeji inzima ukuza - kuphela i-16 yepesenti yabasebenzi ababhalisiweyo abagqibile iminyaka emine yomsebenzi wemikhosi oye wafumana imali yokufunda. Akunakutsho ukuba izakhono zomsebenzi abazithembisayo aziyi kuthunyelwa kwihlabathi lenene. Ipesenti ze-12 kuphela zezilwanyana zamadoda kunye neepesenti ze-6 zezilwanyana zamabhinqa zisebenzisa izakhono ezifunyenwe emkhosini kwimisebenzi yazo yangoku. Kwaye ke, baxakeka ingozi yokubulawa ngexesha besemsebenzini. "
Kwinqaku le-2007 u-Jorge Mariscal uhlalutyo olukhankanywe ngu-Associated Press ofumene ukuba "malunga neyesine-yesine [yamabutho ase-US] abulawe e-Iraq avela kwiidolophu apho imali engenayo ingaphantsi komyinge wesizwe. Ingaphezulu kwesigama yayivela kwiidolophu apho ipesenteji yabantu abahlala behlwempuzeke ukuba baphumelele kwisiqingatha sikazwelonke. "
"Mhlawumbi akumele kumangaliswe," wabhala uMariscal,
"Ukuba i-Army GOLD Plus Inkqubo yokuBhalisa, apho abafaki-zicelo abangenazo idiploma zezikolo eziphakamileyo bavunyelwe ukuba babhalise ngelixa begqibe isatifikethi sokulinganisela esikolweni esiphambili, kugxininiswe kwimimandla yangaphakathi kwimizi.
"Xa ulutsha olusebenzayo lwenza ukuba lukholeji lwabantu basekuhlaleni, bahlala behlangana nabaqashi bezempi basebenzisana nzima ukuze badikibala. 'Awuyi ndawo apha,' abaqashi bathi. 'Le ndawo yiphelo lokufa. Ndiyakunikela ngakumbi. Izifundo ezixhaswe yiPentagon - ezifana ne-RAND Corporation yoLutsha lokuBasha kwiKholeji yeKholeji: iiNkqubo zokuSebenza kunye neNkqubo yeeNkqubela zexesha elizayo-thetha ngokucacileyo malunga nekholejini njengomncintiswano wenani lomthengi kwinkoke yolutsha. . . .
"Akunabo bonke abaqeshwayo, ngokuqinisekileyo, baqhutywa yimfuneko yemali. Kwiindawo ezisemagqabini abasebenza kuyo yonke imibala, zihlala zikholo zenkonzo yemikhosi kunye neenxibelelwano phakathi kweenkonzo kunye neendlela ezinobuninzi bomntu. Kwiindawo ezihlala ziphawulwe njenge 'zangaphandle,' njengeLatinos neAsia, kukho uxinzelelo ukuba lusebenze ukuze kuqinisekiswe ukuba umntu 'unguMerika.' Kwabemi basuka kwamanye amazwe, kukho umkhwa wokufumana isikhundla somthetho okanye ummi. Uxinzelelo loqoqosho, nangona kunjalo, luyimpembelelo engenakuphikiswa. . . . "
I-Mariscal iyaqonda ukuba kukho ezinye iinjongo ezininzi, kuquka nomnqweno wokwenza into ebalulekileyo kwaye ibalulekile kwabanye. Kodwa ukholelwa ukuba ezo zizathu zothando zilahlekiswa:
"Kule meko, umnqweno wokuba 'wenze umehluko,' ngokufakwe kwi-apparatus yomkhosi, kuthetha ukuba abaseMelika abancinci banokubulala abantu abangenacala okanye baxhatshazwe ngumoya wokulwa. Thatha umzekelo ombi weSgt. UPaul Cortez, owathi waphumelela kwi-2000 esuka kwiCentral High School kwikidolophu yokusebenza yaseBarstow, Calif., Wajoyina i-Army, wathunyelwa e-Iraq. Ngo-Matshi i-12, i-2006, wathatha inxaxheba ekudlwengulweni kwentombazana eneminyaka eyi-14 ubudala kunye nokubulawa kwakhe kunye nentsapho yakhe yonke.
"Xa ebuzwa ngoCortez, omnye umfundi wathi: 'Akaze enze into enjalo. Akaze aphinde akhathaze intombi. Wayengeze athabathe enye okanye aphakamise isandla sakhe. Ukulwa nelizwe lakhe yinto enye, kodwa kungekhona xa kuthethwa ukudlwengula nokubulala. Akuyena yena. Makhe samkele ibango lokuba 'akunjalo.' Nangona kunjalo, ngenxa yechungechunge lweziganeko ezingenakwenzeka kwaye ezingenakulibaleka ngaphakathi kwimeko yemfazwe engekho mthethweni neyokuziphatha okubi, 'yile' yinto yaba ngayo. Ngomhla kaFebruwari 21, 2007, uCortez watyala enecala lokudlwengulwa kunye neenkalo ezine zokubulala. Wagwetywa iintsuku ezimbalwa emva koko, wagwetywa ebomini entolongweni kunye nobomi bakhe kwisihogo sakhe. "[xxi]
Musa ukukhumbula ukungcola kweholide ekhumbule kuphela ipesenteji ezenzakalo kwiimfazwe zase-US ezivela kubantu baseUnited States, kwaye nangona kunjalo ingabandakanyi ininzi yeziphumo zokuzibulala. Ezi mpilo 'azihanjiswa.' Zithathwa. Kwaye ndiwagxeka njengengcwele "imibingelelo" kwizinto ezithile ezilungileyo okanye unkulunkulu weemfazwe okanye iiflegi ezingcwele omele uzinze kwaye ungaze uguqe ngokubhikisha ngaphambi kokungafanelanga.
UMongameli uJohn F. Kennedy wabhala kwincwadi yakhe kumhlobo ongenakuze abeke entetho: "Imfazwe iya kuba khona kude kube yimini ekude xa unembeza ongenalo unembeko unelungelo elifanayo kunye nobuqaqawuli njengokuba umkhosi namhlanje." loo ngxelo incinci. Kumele kubandakanye abo abenqaba ukuthatha inxaxheba kwimfazwe enoba bangawunikwe yini "isimo sengqondo sokwenqaba ukuya empini." Kwaye kufuneka kubandakanye abo banxamnye nemfazwe ngaphandle kwempi ngaphandle kwezempi, kubandakanywa nokuhamba kwiindawo ezilindelekileyo zebhomu. ukuze kusebenze "njengeengweletshetshe zabantu."
Xa uMongameli uBarack Obama wanikezwa ngeNobel Peace Prize waza wathi abanye abantu babefanelekile, ndandicinga ngokukhawuleza. Abanye abantu abanobuqilileyo endaziyo okanye abaziveleyo baye benqaba ukuthatha inxaxheba kwimfazwe yangoku okanye bazama ukubeka imizimba yabo kwimigodi yempi yemfazwe. Ukuba bekunomdla owaziwayo kunye nodumo njengabanamandla, sonke siyakuva malunga nabo. Ukuba bebehloniphekile, abanye babo baya kuvunyelwa ukuba bathethe ngeetrivishini zethu kunye namaphephandaba.
Masicinge "Kwinkonzo yenkululeko."
Sivame ukuxelelwa ukuba iimfazwe zilwa "inkululeko." Kodwa xa isizwe esicebileyo silwa nemfazwe ngokumelene namazwe angamahlwempu (ukuba ngaba isizwe esinotyebi-mali ngokubanzi), phakathi kweenjongo akuyikuthintela lo hlanga oluhlwempu ukuthatha obutyebi, emva koko kunokuthintela amalungelo abantu kunye nenkululeko. Ukwesaba okusetyenziswa ukwakha inkxaso yeemfazwe akubandakanyi isimo esinjalo kuzo zonke izinto; kunoko isongelo siboniswa njengomnye ukhuseleko, kungekhona inkululeko.
Ngokusondeleyo kumanqanaba okuchitha imali yempi, inkululeko ivalwe egameni lemfazwe - nangona iimfazwe zingaphathwa ngexesha elifanayo egameni lenkululeko. Sizama ukuxhathisa ukukhukululwa kwentando, ukungabikho kwemigaqo-mboleko, i-drones esibhakabhakeni, ukuvalelwa kokungabi namthetho, ukuhlushwa, ukubulala, ukukhanyela igqwetha, ukukhanyela ukufikelela kwiinkcukacha kurhulumente, njl. Kodwa ezi iimpawu. Isifo imfazwe kunye nokulungiselela imfazwe.
Le ngcamango intshaba evumela ukuba ugu
Ubume bemfazwe, njengoko kulwa phakathi kwabantu abaxabisekileyo nabalinganiswa, kuququzelela ukukhukuliseka kwenkululeko ngenye indlela, ngaphezu koyiko lokhuseleko. Oko kukuthi, ivumela ukuba inkululeko iqale ithathwe kubantu abaqeshwe. Kodwa iiprogram eziphuhlisiwe ukufezekisa emva koko zandiswe ngokucacileyo ukuba zibandakanye abantu abaxabisekileyo.
I-Militarism ayiphumeli nje ngamalungelo athile kodwa isiseko solawulo lwayo. Iyimfihlo yempahla yoluntu, inonakalisa abakhonzi bakarhulumente, idala ukukhula kwemfazwe ngokwenza abantu baxhomekeke kuyo.
Enye indlela apho imfazwe ilahlekisa ukuthembela koluntu kunye nokuziphatha kwayo yilo lizukulwane elixeliweyo lokuxoka koluntu.
Kwakhona, i-eroded, eqinisweni, yiyo kanye ingcamango yolawulo lomthetho-ithathelwe indawo yenkqubo yokusebenza ngokufanelekileyo.
Kwaye, ngokuqinisekileyo, njengoko sibonile ngasentla, uhlanga olujongene neemfazwe ezininzi aluphumelelanga ekwenzeni inkululeko enkulu, kungekudala. Imfazwe imikhosi yamapolisa, ikhuthaza ukubandlulula ubuhlanga nokuxhaphaza, nokukhawulela amalungelo okuthetha kunye neentlanganiso, ngelixa iqhuba imisebenzi engaphezulu karhulumente.
Ngelixa iimfazwe zihluleka ukwandisa inkululeko, zikwahluleka ukwandisa ukhuseleko. Enyanisweni, bafaka ingozi. Nazi izixhobo ezinempumelelo kunemfazwe yokukhusela, kwaye imfazwe ivelisa ubundlobongela. Iminyaka eyi-17 edlulileyo yemfazwe yokulwa nobugandxela iye yabangela ukwanda kobugqugquzela kwaye yavelisa amaqela anzantya-mthetho e-US kwizinga ukuba iintlanga zingabhubhisi amazwe amaninzi ngelo xesha azikwazi ukuqala ukuphupha.
Ekuxhobeni, uninzi lwezinto kufuneka ziqwalaselwe: iingozi ezinxulumene nezixhobo, ukuvavanywa ngolunya ebantwini, ubusela, ukuthengisa kubadibaniselwano ababa ziintshaba, kunye nokuphazamiseka kwimizamo yokunciphisa oonobangela bobunqolobi kunye nemfazwe zonke kufuneka zithathelwe ingqalelo. Ke, ewe, kufuneka utyekelo lokusebenzisa izixhobo wakube unazo. Kwaye ukugcwala kwesizwe izixhobo zemfazwe kubeka uxinzelelo kwezinye izizwe ukuba zenze okufanayo. Nokuba isizwe esizimisele ukulwa kuphela ukuzikhusela, sinokuqonda "ukukhusela" ukuba sikwazi ukuziphindezela kwezinye izizwe. Oku kwenza ukuba kube yimfuneko ukwenza izixhobo kunye neendlela zokulwa. Xa ubeka abantu abaninzi ukuba bacwangcise into ethile, xa le projekthi inyani lolona tyalo-mali lwakho loluntu kunye nesizathu sokuzingca, kunokuba nzima ukugcina abo bantu bangafumani mathuba okuphumeza izicwangciso zabo.
Nangona ukukhusela okusemgangathweni kwimidlalo emininzi kunokuba yinto efanelekileyo, inkohlakalo kwimfazwe ayizikhuseli, kungekhona xa ivelisa inzondo, inzondo, iphinde ibuhlungu, kungekhona xa enye ingekho imfazwe. Ngendlela ebizwa ngokuba yimfazwe yehlabathi yonkqenkquthela, ugqirha luye lwaphakama. Oku kwakuqikelelwe kwaye kuqikelelwe. Imfazwe e-Iraq nase-Afghanistan, kunye nokusetyenziswa kakubi kwamabanjwa ngethuba, zaba zixhobo ezinkulu zokuqasha ulwaphulo-mthetho olulwa no-US. Kwi-2006, ii-arhente ze-Intelligence zase-US zenze i-National Intelligence Estimate eyayifinyelele eso sigqibo.
Sinokuphelisa zonke izixhobo zenyukliya okanye sinokuzibukela zigqithise. Akukho ndlela ephakathi. Asinakho izixhobo zenyukliya, okanye sinokubaninzi. Ngethuba nje ezinye zibonisa izixhobo zenyukliya abanye baya kubafisa, kwaye ngakumbi ukuba banokuba lula ngakumbi baya kufakelwa kwabanye. Ukuba izixhobo zenuzi ziqhubeka zikhona, kuya kubakho inhlekelele yenyukliya, kwaye ngakumbi izixhobo ziye zanda, kungekudala ziya kuza. Amakhulu eembali ziye zatshatyalalisa ihlabathi lethu ngengozi, ukudideka, ukungaqondi kakuhle, kunye ne-machismo engenangqiqo. Kwaye akukho zixhobo zenyukliya asikho nto yokusigcina sikhuselekile, ngokokuba akukho nto yokuhweba ekubandakanyekeni ekupheliseni. Abavumi ukuhlaselwa ngabamagorha ngabasemagqabini abangekho ngandlela-thile. Akunakongeza kwi-iota kumandla omkhosi wokunqanda iintlanga ekuhlaseleni, enikwe amandla eMelika ukuba atshabalalise nayiphi na indawo nayiphi na izihlandlo ezingekho zixhobo zenuzi. I-United States, i-Soviet Union, i-United Kingdom, iFransi kunye ne-China yonke ilahlekelwe yimfazwe emelene nemimandla engeyiyo yenyukliya ngelixa iphethe i-nukes.
Kuthiwani 'ngelizwe lethu libonakala lihlukaniswe'?
Ngaba ngokwenene? Into ephambili urhulumente wase-US wenzayo iimfazwe zemali kwaye alungiselela iimfazwe ezininzi. Ininzi yemali yokuqhelana kwemibutho yaseburhulumenteni iyachithwa kuloo nto unyaka nonyaka kwaye akukho phondo. Amalungu eCongress akhethwe ngaphandle kokuba abe neengcamango malunga nesimo esiphezulu sohlahlo lwabiwo-mali okanye kumgaqo-nkqubo wangaphandle nangayiphi na indlela. I-United States inxaxheba kwimfazwe e-Yemen, eSiriya, e-Afghanistan, e-Iraq, eSomalia, e-Libya, kunye ne-inqanaba elincinci - kwezinye iindidi ezininzi, kwaye isebenzisa izixhobo malunga nekota ezintathu zezobukumkani kunye neyona nto ininzi " iidemocracies, "kungekudala ukuphuma kwiCongress engeke iphele imfazwe. Ukuba oku kwahlukana, ndiyakuzonda ukubona ukuba ubumbano bubukeka njani.
Kwi-1995-96 kunye ne-2003-04 i-pollsters ehloliswe ngabantu kwii-20 kumazwe ngendlela ababala ngayo amazwe abo ngokubanzi kunye nakwiindawo ezahlukeneyo zokufezekisa. Bobabini ngokweqhayiya eliqhelekileyo eUnited States kwaye ngokwemiqathango eyahlukeneyo, abantu baseUnited States bahlula okwesibini kwisifundo sangaphambili kwaye kuqala ngowomnye kwinqanaba leqhosha likazwelonke.[xxii]
Kwamanye amanqaku, kukho ukwahlula okubukhali phakathi kwamalungu amabini ase-US, kunye nabanye abahlali base-US abanokufanayo kunye nezinye iintlanga zikawonkewonke kunokuba nephiko lasekunene lase-US. Kweminye yemibuzo ebaluleke kakhulu, nangona kunjalo, kukho ukwahlukana, kunye neenkolelo eza kuba zimbi nakwezinye iindawo ezininzi ezinkulu kwii-United States. Phakathi kweminye yokugqibela, inkolelo yase-United kuzwelonke (ngaphandle kwalabo abangazange balive ngekota). Ku-2010, iipesenti ze-80 zalawo ahlolwe nguGallup eUnited States yathi iUnited States yayinomntu oyingqayizivele owenze ilizwe elikhulu kwihlabathi. Ucwaningo lwe-2013 lwabantu abadala base-US bafumana ukuba i-1,000 iipesenti ayengazange ayive nge-American Exceptionalism. Kodwa ipesenti ze-49 zivumile okanye zivuma ngokuqinisekileyo ukuba i-United States "iyodwa kwaye ayifani nayiphi na isizwe."
Kutheni zonke ezibuxoki kwibhokisi lam yonke imihla yeSikhumbuzo?
Sifunda okuninzi malunga neenjongo zangempela zeemfazwe xa abaqhubi beemfesane bevuza imizuzu yeemfihlelo ezifihlakeleyo, okanye xa iikomiti zendibano zipapasha iirekhodi zokuvalelwa kweeminyaka kamva. Abacebisi beMfa babhala iincwadi. Benza iifilimu. Bajamelana nophando. Ekugqibeleni iimbotyi zivuthwa. Kodwa andikaze ndize ndive ngeentlanganiso zangasese apho abantu abakhulu beemfazwe baxoxwa ngemfuneko yokugcina imfazwe ukuze bazuze amajoni alwa nayo.
Isizathu sokuba oku kuphawulekayo kukuba awukuze uve umcwangcisi wemfa uthetha esidlangalaleni malunga nezizathu zokugcina imfazwe ngaphandle kokumangalelwa ukuba kufuneka yenziwe kwimikhosi, ukuxhasa imikhosi, ukuze ungavumeli ukuba amajoni ahla, okanye ukuba loo mkhosi sele ifile ingayi kufa. Ewe, ukuba babulawa ngokungekho mthethweni, ukuziphatha kakubi, isenzo esonakalisayo, okanye nje imfazwe engenamthemba emele ilahleke ngokukhawuleza okanye kamva, akucaci ukuba ukubethelwa kwezidumbu ezininzi kuya kuhlonipha iinkumbulo zabo. Kodwa oku akukona malunga neengcamango.
Ingcamango kukuba amadoda nabesifazane besengozini babo, kuthiwa kuthi ngenxa yethu, kufuneka bahlale benenkxaso yethu-nangona sibheka oko benzayo njengobunzima bokubulala. Abaxhasi bezoxolo, ngokuchasene nabacwangcisi bemfazwe, bathetha into efanayo malunga nale nto ngasese abayithethayo esidlangalaleni: sifuna ukuxhasa loo mkhosi ngokungabaniki umyalelo ongekho mthethweni, ungabaqeshanga ukuba benze ubundlobongela, bengabathumeli babo iintsapho zibeka ingozi kwimpilo yabo kunye nemizimba kunye nentlalo yengqondo.
Ingxoxo yabucala yabenzi beMfazwe malunga nokuba ngaba kwaye kutheni ukugcina imfazwe iya kuhamba nazo zonke iintlobo zokhuthaza. Bathintela kuphela ngesihloko semikhosi xa becinga ukuba bangaphi babo okanye zide zingaphathwe kangakanani izivumelwano zabo ngaphambi kokuqala ukubulala abalawuli babo. Kwindawo yoluntu, ibali elonahluke kakhulu, elinye lihlala lixelelwe ngamabutho afanelekileyo afanayo afakwe njengemva. Iimfazwe zizonke malunga nemikhosi kwaye ngokuqinisekileyo kufuneka zandiswe ngenjongo yokunceda impi. Nantoni na enye inokukhubekisa kwaye idumise amajoni azinikezele kwimfazwe.
Iimfazwe zase-US zisebenzisa ezinye iikontraki kunye namagosa njengamagosa. Xa ama-mercenari abulawe kwaye imizimba yabo iboniswa esidlangalaleni, imikhosi yase-US iya kutshabalalisa isixeko ngokuphindisela, njengase Fallujah, Iraq. Kodwa iimfazwe zeemfazwe azange zikhankanye ngeenkontrakthi okanye kumagosa. Yisoloko imikhosi, abo benza ukubulawa, kunye nabathatywayo kubemi bonke abantu abanzi, nangona imikhosi ihlawulwa, nje ngeenkosi eziphantsi.
Ingongoma yeklasi ukuvelisa isiqwenga sezinto ezingenangqondo esithi ukuchasana nemfazwe kufana nokujoyina ngaphesheya kwaloo mfazwe, ngoko ukufuna ukunyamezela amalungu aseMelika kunomkhosi waseMelika ulingana nokuzonda ukutshabalalisa abo bantu.
"Nangona singavumi ngaso sonke isikhathi nemfazwe, siyazi ukuba amadoda nabesifazane abalwayo benza oko. Bakhetha ukwenza oko. Balwela ilizwe. Kwaye abayena abo bakhethe imfazwe. "Ngaloo ndlela uthetha umntu ocatshulwe nguwe Iindaba ze-CBS echaza iSikhumbuzo. Unokuphikisa imfazwe, kodwa uTHIXELE ubhiyozele inxaxheba kwimfazwe kuba abantu abathatha inxaxheba kwimfazwe bathatha inxaxheba kwimfazwe. QED
Kwakhona, kufuneka uxhase iimfazwe ezininzi nangaphezulu nangakumbi, nangona iintlanga ezininzi zinokulwa neemfazwe ezimbalwa okanye akukho mfazwe.
"Siyibale ukuba inkululeko ayikhululekile. Kufuneka ihlawulwe, kwaye kungekhona kanye kuphela. Ngokuphindaphindiweyo, amaMelika aqhube phambili emzuzwana wenkathazo kwaye abeka ubomi bawo kumgca. "-Fox News.
Nangona le nkohliso yase-Orwellian isusa abantu e-United States ngamalungelo abo egameni leNkululeko, ilahleko enkulu ebomini, inyawo kunye nenkululeko eyenzeka ngaphandle kwamanye amabutho aseMelika. Nangona iKorea ifuna uxolo kunye nokudibanisa, urhulumente wase-US wenza yonke into enokuyenza ukuxhatshazwa kwenkqubo kwaye abuyisele amanani entengo yeenkampani zamagosa kwizinto ezazingaphambi kokuba kuvele uxolo loxolo.
Abantu baseMzantsi Korea ababuzwa iimvo zabo okanye iivoti ngaphambi kokuba ipropati yabo ithathwe kwaye iguqulelwe ibe yizisekelo zezempi zase-US. Imizamo yase-US yokunqanda intando ephakamileyo kwixesha lonke laseKorea ayikhuthazi ukukhuthaza intando yesininzi. Ukuchithwa okubekwa kwiSiqithi saseJeju ngokutsha okwakhiwa kweNavy Navy yase-US uye weza nxamnye nokukhuseleka kwabantu abanesibindi nabanyanisekileyo.
Ukongeza kwezantsi kwiziqithi zase-Okinawa kuhlala ngethuba elingenakulinganiswa lokuququzelela uxolo eKorea kwaye ngokusasaza intando yesininzi. Oku kungenziwa ngokuhlonela uluvo olukhulu lwabantu baseOkinawa, ukuzisa onke amalungu aseMelika asele apho ekhaya, aphinde ahlaziye elowo lwabantu ukuba asebenze ngokuthula, kwaye acwangcise amacebo okudala malunga nantoni na yokushiya imali landela ukuguqulwa.
Iziqithi zaseRyukyu, zikholiswe yiJapane njenge-Okinawa, kwaye i-United States ibanjwe ngumbutho wabaxumi kwihlabathi lolawulo lwamazwe onke, iindawo zasemakhaya abantu ababenobomi babo bebenzakaliswa kakubi ngokubiwa kwelizwe labo, ngokusungulwa kwempi uluntu olunokuthula, ngokutshabalalisa kweenqwelo, ngokudlwengulwa kwamantombazana, ngokutshabalalisa kwendalo, ngokucalukana ngokobuhlanga kunye nokukhanyela amalungelo abo. Ngoxa i-Kosovo inelungelo lokwenza, iCrimea ayifanele, kwaye u-Okinawa akasoze. Kwiminyaka emininzi urhulumente wase-United States "uqokelele" ekukhetheni "okhetho lwase-Okinawan kunye nokuguqula izigqibo zika-Okinawan ukubeka iinqwelo zemikhosi kubantu abahlala besongela ubomi babo ngokuphindaphindiweyo ukuba banqande olo xhatshazo.
Eli libali liphindaphindiwe emhlabeni wonke, njengoko iUnited States ibeka iimbalo zemikhosi zemimandla kwiintlanga ezininzi ezingenakudingekayo kwilizwekazi elimiweyo. Akukho nanye kwiziseko ezizukileyo. Akukho namnye kubo onamaqhawe. Akukho namnye kubo ofanelekile ukubhiyozela ngeeflegi okanye iimfesane okanye iipikniksi okanye ukuqokelela i-ketchup kunye ne-mustard kwenyama yezilwanyana efile. Masenze ngcono. Masibhiyozele iiholide ezikhuthaza izinto esizixabisa ngokwenene, kuquka Uxolo.
