World BEYOND War is ukubamba i-webinar kwiveki ezayo kunye nombhali weengoma omkhulu kunye nomlweli wemfazwe uRoger Waters. Kwiveki emva koko, ukhenketho lwekonsathi kaRoger "Le ayiyonto yokuDrila" iza kuza kwisiXeko saseNew York - uBrian Garvey usixelele malunga. umboniso waseBoston – kwaye ndiza kube ndilapho, ndibonisa nombutho wethu esisebenzisana nawo iVeterans for Peace. Ukuba uza kwikonsathi, ndicela undifumane kwitafile yeVeterans for Peace kwaye uthi molo.
Ukuba ngumlawuli wetekhnoloji ye World BEYOND War undinike ithuba lokudibana nabanye abantu abakhethekileyo abathi kwiminyaka eyadlulayo bandinceda ukuba ndifumane eyam indlela yokulwela uxolo. Ngexesha ebomini bam andizange ndibandakanyeke kuyo nayiphi na intshukumo, kwenzeka ukuba ndifunde iincwadi zikaNicholson Baker kunye noMedea Benjamin ezakhupha iingcamango entloko yam ekugqibeleni yandikhokelela ekufuneni iindlela zokubandakanyeka ngokobuqu kwi-pacifist cause. Bekumnandi kum ukwenza udliwanondlebe nabo bobabini kwi World BEYOND War podcast kwaye ndibaxelele ukuba imisebenzi yabo indikhuthaze kangakanani.
Ukunceda ukubamba i-webinar kunye noRoger Waters kuya kuthatha oku kwinqanaba elitsha kum. Kwakungekudalanga kwiminyaka eyadlulayo kodwa kumashumi eminyaka eyadlulayo apho ndaqala ukutsala idiski yevinyl emnyama kwiqweqwe lecwecwe elimnyama elibonisa umtha wokukhanya, iprism kunye nomnyama, kwaye ndeva ilizwi elithambileyo nelilusizi licula la mazwi:
Phambili wakhala ngasemva, kwaye abaphambili bafa
Iinjengele zahlala, kunye nemigca emephini
Ishukunyiswe ngapha nangapha
Icwecwe likaPink Floyd lika-1973 elithi “Icala Elimnyama leNyanga” luhambo lomculo olungena kwingqondo yabucala ekhathazekileyo, umkhenkethi weqela elimalunga nokuhlukaniswa kunye nobugeza. Icwecwe livula ngesimemo sokuphefumla, njengoko izandi ezijikelezayo zibonisa impambano yehlabathi elixakekileyo nelingenankathalo. Amazwi kunye nokubetha kwentliziyo kunye neenyawo ziyaphela ngaphakathi nangaphandle - izikhululo zeenqwelo moya, iiwotshi - kodwa ubunzima obunzulu bomculo butsala umphulaphuli ngaphambili kwingxolo kunye nesiphithiphithi, kwaye isiqingatha sokuqala serekhodi siphela ngokuphefumla kwelinye ilizwe, amazwi eengelosi ekhala ngaphakathi. uvelwano lwe-harmonic kwingoma ebizwa ngokuthi "I-Great Gig in the Sky".
Kwicala lesibini lecwecwe, sibuyela kwiinkathazo zehlabathi elinomsindo. Iingqekembe eziqhwanyazayo zika "Imali" zingena kumhobe wemfazwe othi "Us and Them" apho iinjengele zihlala kwaye zihambisa imigca emephini ukusuka kwelinye icala ukuya kwelinye. Kukho imvakalelo yoxinzelelo olukhulu kangangokuba ukuhla kubugeza kuvakala kungenakuphepheka-kodwa njengokuba “ukonakala kwengqondo” kugqabhuka kwingoma yokugqibela ethi “Eclipse” siqala ukuva ukuba ilizwi elisiculayo aliphambani kwaphela. Lilizwe eliye laphambana, kwaye ezi ngoma ziyasimema ukuba sifumane iingqondo zethu ngokungena ngaphakathi, ngokuthembela kwimvelo yethu kwaye singayinanzi i-banality yehlokondiba, ngokwamkela ukuhlukaniswa kwethu kwibutho labantu esingalaziyo ukuba silisindisa. nokusabela kubuhle bobugcisa nomculo nokuphila wedwa, nenyaniso.
Ihlala ichazwa njengowona msebenzi wobugcisa uphelele kaRoger Waters njengombhali wengoma kunye nemvumi, icwecwe elimangalisayo elithi "Icala Elimnyama leNyanga" libonakala limalunga nokuphambana kodwa xa ujongisisa malunga nokuphambana kwelizwe langaphandle, kunye namaqokobhe anzima okuhlukaniswa. kunye nonxunguphalo abanye bethu abasenokufuna ukuba bazijikeleze ukuze siphephe ukuthotyelwa yiminqweno yokuthobela. Akuyongozi ukuba icwecwe lichaze ngenye indlela uHenry David Thoreau, ilizwi elilodwa elichasene nokuthotyelwa kwelinye ixesha kunye nomhlaba owahlukileyo: "Ukuxhoma kwithemba elizolileyo yindlela yamaNgesi".
Eli cwecwe lalibalulekile kum njengomntwana ofumanisa umculo, kwaye ndisafumana intsingiselo entsha kulo. Ndiye ndaqonda ukuba ayisiyiyo ingoma nje ethi “Thina kunye Nabo” kodwa licwecwe lilonke eliqaqambisa ungquzulwano olukhulu noluntu oluchubekileyo oluthi ekugqibeleni lunyanzelise wonke umlweli wezopolitiko osakhulayo ukuba akhethe indawo aza kuma kuyo, aqinise ngokuchasene neqela. iingcinezelo ezingapheliyo zokoyiswa koxinzelelo, ukuzibophelela ngokupheleleyo kwizinto ezingasivumeli ukuba sikhethe phakathi. Andizange ndibe litshantliziyo lezopolitiko xa ndandingumlandeli wePink Floyd ndisekwishumi elivisayo. Kodwa namhlanje ndiyayiqonda indlela iingoma zikaRoger Waters ezindincede ngayo ukuba ndizenzele eyam indlela ngokuthe ngcembe ngenguqu engaqhelekanga neyahlukanisayo yobuqu - kwaye ayizizo iingoma zezopolitiko ezicacileyo ezinje ngo "Thina kunye Nabo" eziye zandinceda ukuba ndifumane le ndlela.
Iingcambu ezingaphantsi komhlaba zeqela lokuqala likaRoger Waters zibuyela emva kunokuba abaninzi becinga. I-Pink Floyd yayiza kuthandwa kakhulu ngeminyaka yoo-1970 kunye no-1980, ukanti iqela laqala ukudlala iigigi eNgilane ngo-1965 kwaye lalinochuku kwiintsuku zokuqala zoo-1960 bejingisela eLondon, apho babethandwa ngabantu abaninzi ababemamele imibongo yeBeat. kwaye ijinga kwivenkile yeencwadi ye-Indica edumileyo, apho uJohn Lennon noYoko Ono babedibana khona. Le yayiyinkcubeko ye-1960s uPink Floyd wavela kuyo.
Njengomnye weqela lokuqala kunye nelona qela lokuqala lovavanyo / lovavanyo lwexesha lamandulo, uPink Floyd wasekuqaleni wabamba indawo eLondon kwangaloo minyaka ivuyisayo yokuba abaFileyo Abanombulelo babesenza umboniso noKen Kesey eSan Francisco, kunye neVelvet. Ngaphantsi komhlaba kwakuvuthuza iingqondo kwisiXeko saseNew York kunye nePlastiki eQhutywayo ka-Andy Warhol engenakuvinjwa. Akukho nalinye kula maqela aphambili ezopolitiko, kodwa bekunganyanzelekanga ukuba abe njalo, kuba iindawo zoluntu ezinikezela ngomculo zazibandakanyeke ngokupheleleyo kwiintshukumo ezichasene nemfazwe kunye nenkqubela phambili yelo xesha. Abantu abancinci kulo lonke elaseNgilani ngeminyaka yoo-1960s babesebenza nzima kwaye bekhwaza kakhulu bekhupha izixhobo zenyukliya kunye ne-anti-colonialism, kwaye abantu abancinci babo e-USA babefunda kwintshukumo yoqhanqalazo lwamalungelo oluntu olwalukhokelwe nguMartin Luther King kwaye ngoku. isakhiwo, kunye nesikhokelo esibukhali sikaMartin Luther King, umbutho omtsha omkhulu odumileyo ngokuchasene nemfazwe yokuziphatha okubi eVietnam. Kwakungexesha elinzima leminyaka yoo-1960, apho uninzi lweembewu zemibutho yoqhanqalazo olumandla esaphila nanamhlanje zaqala ukutyalwa.
Njengabafi abaBulelayo bokuqala kunye neVelvet Underground, inguqulelo yaseLondon yePinki Floyd yabeka imbonakalo yomhlaba egxile nzulu kwingqondo ephuphileyo, iqamba iingoma ezibonakala zijonge indawo yezengqondo phakathi kokuvuka nokulala. URoger Waters wathatha ubunkokeli beqela emva kokuba uSyd Barrett edakumbile waba yimpambano yokwenyani, kwaye “icala elimnyama leNyanga” wawaphakamisa amanzi kunye namaqabane akhe omculo uDavid Gilmour, uRichard Wright kunye noNick Mason kwimpumelelo enkulu yehlabathi, nangona ilungu ngalinye leqela. wayebonakala engenamdla kwinkcubeko yabantu abadumileyo nodumo. Amanzi aguqule ibhendi yakhe ngexesha le-punk-rock ngo-1977 kunye ne-"Animals" enobudlova kunye ne-Orwellian, elandelwa yi-"The Wall", i-opera ye-psychological rock opera enempumelelo enkulu kunye nokuthandwa kwayo kuya kufana ne-"Dark Side of the Moon".
Ngaba ukhona umbhali weengoma zerock owake wawubeka ekuhleni umphefumlo wakhe onesiphene ngendlela uRoger Waters enza ngayo “kuDonga”? Imalunga nenkanyezi yerock e-morose eba sisityebi, yonakele kwaye ineziyobisi, ephuma njengenkokeli yokwenyani yobu-fascist, egxotha abalandeli bakhe kwinqanaba lekonsathi ngezithuko zobuhlanga nezesini. Le yayiyi-ronic self-portrait kaRoger Waters, kuba (njengoko wachazayo kudliwano-ndlebe abambalwa awayeza kuthetha nabo) wayeze ukudelela eyakhe i-rock star persona kunye namandla awamnika wona. Okubi nangakumbi kukuba, udumo awayezama ukuluphepha lwalumehlukanisa ngokupheleleyo nabantu ababeze kwiikonsathi zakhe nabanandipha indalo yakhe. UPink Floyd akakwazanga kuhlala ixesha elide kweli nqanaba lokuzihlola, kwaye icwecwe elihle lokugqibela leqela ngo-1983 yayingumsebenzi oyedwa kaRoger Waters, “The Final Cut”. Eli cwecwe laliyingxelo yokulwa imfazwe ukusuka ekuqaleni ukuya ekupheleni, likhala ngokuchasene nemfazwe emfutshane yaseBritane ebubudenge nekhohlakeleyo ngo-1982 ngokuchasene neArgentina malunga neMalvinas, ibiza ngokukrakra uMargaret Thatcher kunye noMenachem Begin kunye noLeonid Brezhnev kunye noRonald Reagan ngegama.
Intshukumo yezopolitiko kaWaters ngokuthe ngcembe yaqala ukuchaza wonke umsebenzi wakhe, kubandakanya neealbhamu zakhe eyedwa kunye neopera emalunga neNguquko yaseFransi awayiqamba ngo-2005, “Ça Ira”. Ngentwasahlobo ka-2021 ndiye kwindibano encinci yeenkundla zedolophu yaseNew York yegqwetha elinesibindi. USteven Donziger, oye wohlwaywa ngokungekho sikweni ngokubhenca ulwaphulo-mthetho lwemekobume lweChevron e-Ecuador. Bekungekho sihlwele sikhulu kule ndibano, kodwa ndonwabile ukubona uRoger Waters emi ecaleni komhlobo wakhe kunye nogxa wakhe kwaye ngokufutshane ethatha imakrofoni ukuze athethe amagama ambalwa malunga netyala likaDonziger, kunye noSusan Sarandon kunye noMarianne Williamson. .
Ekugqibeleni uSteven Donziger wachitha iintsuku ezothusayo ezingama-993 evalelwe ngenxa yokuzimisela ukuthetha ngokukhululekileyo ekugxekeni iqumrhu elinamandla njengeChevron. Andazi nokuba uRoger Waters ukhe wavalelwa na ngenxa yobutshantliziyo bakhe, kodwa ngokuqinisekileyo wohlwaywa emehlweni abantu. Xa ndikhankanya igama lakhe kwabanye babahlobo bam, kwanabahlobo abanolwazi lomculo abaliqondayo inqanaba lobukrelekrele bakhe, ndiva izityholo ezihlekisayo ezinje ngo “Roger Waters is anti-semitic” - ikhanadi epheleleyo eyenzelwe ukumonzakalisa ngeentlobo ezifanayo zamandla. imikhosi eyatsala imitya yeChevron ukuba ifake uSteven Donziger entolongweni. Ewe, uRoger Waters akanguye umchasi-semitic, nangona ebenesibindi ngokwaneleyo sokuthetha ngokuvakalayo ngabantu basePalestine ababandezelekayo phantsi kocalucalulo lwamaSirayeli - njengoko kufuneka sonke ukuba sizimisele ukujongana nenyani, kuba olu calucalulo bubugwenxa obutshabalalisayo ekufuneka buphele. .
Andazi ukuba uRoger Waters uza kuthetha ngantoni kwiwebinar yethu nge-8 ka-Agasti, nangona ndimbonile ekonsathini amaxesha amaninzi kwaye ndinombono olungileyo ukuba loluphi uhlobo lwekonsathi yokukhaba aya kuyibeka nge-13 ka-Agasti eNew York. Isixeko. Ihlobo lika-2022 lixesha elishushu, elinzima e-United States of America. Urhulumente wethu ubonakala engenabuqhophololo kwaye enobuqhophololo kunangaphambili, njengoko sityibilika kwaye sityibilika kwiimfazwe zeproxy eziqhutywa yinzuzo yenkampani kunye nokukhotyokiswa kwamafutha efosili. Abemi abothukileyo nabadandathekileyo balo rhulumente wophukileyo baziqinisa ngezixhobo zomkhosi, bekhulisa amaqela amajoni, njengoko amapolisa ethu eziguqula abe ngamadabi omkhosi ajolise izixhobo kubantu bawo, njengoko iNkundla yethu ePhakamileyo ebiweyo iqalisa ukoyikeka okutsha: ukwenziwa kolwaphulo-mthetho. ukukhulelwa kunye nokhetho lwezempilo. Inani lokufa e-Ukraine lingaphezulu kwe-100 yabantu ngosuku, njengoko ndibhala oku, kwaye abaxhasi abafanayo kunye nabaxhamli abaye batyhala loo mfazwe imbi kakhulu ye-proxy kubonakala ngathi izama ukuqalisa intlekele entsha yoluntu eTaiwan ukuze bafumane inzuzo yezoqoqosho ngaphezulu kweTshayina. . Iinjengele zisahleli, zihambisa imigca emephini ukusuka kwelinye icala ukuya kwelinye.
