Ukwenza lula ngokugqithiseleyo kwabantwana kubonakala kusasazeka kuyo yonke intetho yasesidlangalaleni. Mhlawumbi yimida yabalinganiswa kwiitweets. Mhlawumbi yimida yesibini phakathi kweentengiso. Mhlawumbi yipolitiki yamaqela amabini. Mhlawumbi lulwazi olugqithisileyo. Mhlawumbi ngumzekelo kamongameli. Mhlawumbi, enyanisweni, ngamawaka ezinto ezahlukeneyo, kuba inyaniso inzima kakhulu.
Kuyo nayiphi na imeko, le nto ndiyibonayo sele ikhula ixesha elide. Kutshanje ndiye ndafumana unjingalwazi ozimisele ukundixoxisa esidlangalaleni malunga nombuzo wokuba ingaba imfazwe iyafaneleka na. Ngoku ndifumana elona xesha linzima lokufumana iyunivesiti ezimisele ukusingatha ingxoxo-mpikiswano okanye nokuba iqonde ingqikelelo yengxoxo-mpikiswano engenabundlobongela. Kodwa umntu wayeza kuyibona phi into enjalo? Hayi umabonakude. Hayi uninzi lweendaba zobuntatheli. Hayi kwimidiya yoluntu.
"Akukho mahluko phakathi kweDemokhrasi kunye neRiphabhlikhi."
"Iidemokhrasi kunye neRiphabhlikhi azinanto zifanayo."
Zombini ezi ziingxelo ezibubudenge ezihlekisayo, njengoko zinjalo:
“Abasetyhini bahlala bethetha inyaniso ngohlaselo ngokwesondo.”
“Abasetyhini bahlala bexoka ngokuxhatshazwa ngokwesondo.”
Ayiyonto intsha ukuba abantu benze lula kakhulu, babaxe, okanye badale iingxabano zabantu. Akunto intsha ukuzama ukulungisa imbono ephosakeleyo ecingelwayo kwicala elinye ngokubhengeza i-absolutism engenangqondo kwelinye icala. Yintoni entsha, ndicinga ukuba, iqondo apho iingxelo zifinyezwa khona ngenxa yokunyanzeliswa kwexesha kunye nokulinganiselwa kwendawo esetyenzisiweyo, kunye nenqanaba apho ukufunga ngenxa yesiphumo esingenangqiqo kwenziwa ngumgaqo-siseko.
Thatha umzekelo weengxoxo zangoku zase-US zohlaselo ngokwesondo kunye nokuxhatshazwa njengelona tyala ligqithisileyo. Ibali elikhulu kum libonakala ngathi kukho into emangalisayo eyenzekayo. Ukungabikho kobulungisa okuxhaphakileyo kuyavezwa kwaye kubekwe ibala kwaye mhlawumbi kuncitshiswe ukuya phambili.
Loo nto ayitshintshi nanye kwezi zibakala zingenakuphikiswa:
Abanye abantu baya kutyholwa ngobuxoki, kwaye izifundo ezibonisa ipesenti enkulu yezityholo ziyinyani aziyi kubonakala ngathi zithuthuzela kakhulu kubo.
Abanye abantu abaphenduliswa ngokuxhaphaza ngokwesini babonakala benetyala lezinto ezinjengokukhuthaza imfazwe, ukwenza imifanekiso eshukumayo ezukisa ukubulala, ukuvelisa ubuxoki obufanelekileyo, nokudala imigaqo-nkqubo yoluntu eye yonakalisa izigidi; kwihlabathi eligqibeleleyo banokuthi baphendule ngezinye zezinye ingqumbo.
Abanye abantu abanetyala lokuhlukumeza ngokwesondo ngenye indlela ngabantu abalunge kakhulu ngeendlela ezininzi. Abanye ngokwenene akunjalo.
Abanye abantu abanetyala lokuhlukumeza ngokwesondo okanye ukubetha baye baqala kwaye baphelisa loo nto yokuziphatha ngamaxesha abonakalayo ebomini babo.
Abanye abantu bahlekisa okanye bajonge phantsi amatyala atyholwayo ngenxa yezizathu zecala, ngakumbi izityholo zolwaphulo-mthetho ngabantu ababizwa ngokuba nguClinton okanye uTrump.
Abanye abantu abatyhala umva ngokuchasene notshintsho ngabafazi, abanye amadoda. Ukuba kufuneka ukhethe iqela, kufuneka ibe liqela elixhasa inyaniso nentlonipho kunye nobubele.
Amaza yindlela utshintsho lwentlalo oluhlala lusebenza ngayo, hayi iyelenqe lobuxoki.
Uninzi lwabantu abazaziyo ngolwaphulo-mthetho okanye ubugwenxa kwaye bahlala bethe cwaka baye banezizathu zokuba, kubandakanywa nokulindela ukungaviwa, njengoko kubonakaliswe yinto yokuba abaninzi babo abazange bathule. Asizange sibeva. Loo nyaniso ngokubanzi ayibuphelisi ubukho bobugwala kwiimeko ezahlukeneyo.
Uninzi lwabatyhola abantu abangaziwayo abakaviwa luluntu ngokubanzi.
Kodwa uninzi lwabantu abangaziwayo bakhawuleza babanjwe kwaye babekwe ityala lolwaphulo-mthetho ngesiseko sesityholo esinye.
Uninzi lwabantu abadumileyo, abakhe batyholwa, bahlaziswa esidlangalaleni, ngamanye amaxesha bayasuswa kwimisebenzi yabo, ngamanye amaxesha imisebenzi yabo yonakaliswa, kodwa abakhe bamangalelwe ngalo naluphi na ulwaphulo-mthetho.
Iintlawulo zokuthi cwaka lilungelo labantu abazizityebi nabanamandla, ngelixa ikwayindlela yokubuyisela kwimeko yesiqhelo enqatshelwe uninzi lwamaxhoba kunye nabaxhaphazi babo.
Abo bohlwaywa yinkqubo yase-US yokuvalelwa bohlwaywa ngokukhohlakeleyo nangokuchaseneyo, akukho ndlela yakubuyiselwa kwisimo sangaphambili. Ipesenti enkulu yohlaselo ngokwesondo eUnited States lwenzeka ngaphakathi kwizakhiwo “zoluleko”.
Akukho nto malunga nexesha elidlulileyo lomntu elichaphazela ukuthembeka kwamabango abo okanye ixabiso lamabango abo ngaphandle kwerekhodi yabo yokuthetha inyaniso kunye nokuxoka.
Olunye ulwaphulo-mthetho kunye nokuphathwa gadalala kubi kakhulu kunabanye, kodwa ingqumbo encinci iseyiyo. Ulwaphulo-mthetho olukhulu aluthetheleli okanye lukhulule oyena mncinane.
Kananjalo ukwanda kwenani lolwaphulo-mthetho oluxeliweyo aluniki ulwaphulo-mthetho lomntu ngamnye lube lubi kangako.
