IDolobha laseCharlottesville lizobe licubungula umbuzo wokuhlukaniswa kwezikhali namafutha ezinto ezimbiwa phansi emhlanganweni walo wangomhla ziyisi-6 kuNhlaba.
Ukuze uthole imininingwane ngomkhankaso wokuhlukaniswa, ukuthi ungaya kanjani emhlanganweni, nokuthi yini enye ongayenza ukuze usize e-Charlottesville noma kunoma yiliphi elinye idolobha, bheka http://divestcville.org
Izinkampani zezikhali zase-US zihlomisa izingxenye ezintathu kwezine zombuso wobushiqela womhlaba kanye nezinhlangothi zombili zezimpi eziningi. Ngaphandle kokwesekwa kukahulumeni wase-US kwabalwela ukulwa e-Afghanistan, Syria, nakwezinye izindawo, bekungeke kube khona i-Al Qaeda noma i-ISIS noma amanye amaqembu. Amakhasimende ezikhali zangaphambilini aphenduke izitha ahlanganisa uHussein, u-Assad, uGadaffi, kanye nenqwaba yabanye. I-United States idala izitha zayo.
Kodwa manje, esikhathini esingaphansi kwesikhathi sokuphila kwami, i-United States ihole umhlaba ekudaleni isitha esibi kakhulu esake sabonwa, okungukuthi indawo ezohlasela ukuphila emhlabeni ngemililo emikhulu nesomiso nezikhukhula emakhulwini amaningi eminyaka ezayo ngisho noma singayeka konke. ukubhujiswa kweplanethi kulo mzuzu.
Imbangela eyinhloko yendawo enezikhali izimpi, ezilwela uwoyela ngokuyinhloko ukuze kucekelwe phansi indawo yethu ezungezile. U-Dick Cheney wahlangana ne-ExxonMobil ukuze bahlele impi yase-Iraq, futhi idolobha lethu litshala imali yethu esiyisebenze kanzima ku-ExxonMobil ukuze lenze idolobha lethu libe yindawo encane yokuhlala ezizukulwaneni zethu. Ungakhulisa i-eco-gardens yakho futhi unikeze amandla i-Teslas yakho ngamaphaneli akho elanga, kodwa amadola akho entela aku-ExxonMobil ngoba ikusasa lempilo emhlabeni aliyona nje into ehamba phambili.
Enye yezinto ezimbi kakhulu ukuthi ukuwohloka kwemvelo kusetshenziswa kanjani njengezaba zezimpi eziningi. Kodwa ingabe uyazi ukuthi noma ubani osinda kulokho okuzoba yizikhukhula eziningana ezibangelwa yisimo sezulu ozothola kunzima ukukuqonda ngathi, abantu abazakhela isihogo sabo? Kuwukunganaki kwethu, ukunganeliseki kwethu ngokuzola, isifiso sethu sokucabanga ngokucophelela ukuthi sizokwenza noma cha ukwehlisa ukucekelwa phansi.
Ngisho neCongress yaseMelika isikulungele ukumisa isibhicongo ebisenzela abantu baseYemen, kodwa iCharlottesville iyakuthokozela ukuqhubeka nokuxhasa iBoeing. Izizwe zomhlaba zivimba izikhali zenuzi, ngethemba lokuthi azikusheshi ukushona kwethu sonke, kodwa uCharlottesville ujabule ngokulahla imali yethu ku-Honeywell.
Ingabe iDolobha laseCharlottesville likubuze? Abangibuzanga. Babezophendula kanjani uma babebuza? Sakhamuzi esithandekayo esikhokha intela, ungathanda ukubhekana nezindleko ezinkulu zokunciphisa umonakalo wesomiso neziphepho nokucekela phansi okuzayo, futhi ungathanda yini ukuthi sisebenzise imali yakho ukukhulisa lezo zindleko egameni lokuthola imali esheshayo engcolile. amabhizinisi obugebengu angasenzi ngisho sibe ngaphezu kwalokho obekungenza amanye ama-investimenti angenasimilo? Ubani owayengavuma kulokho uma ebuzwa?
Leso sihogo esibi kakhulu okuthiwa sigcinelwe labo okuthi ngezikhathi zobunzima bathule sizosifaka sonke ngamavoti amaningi, njengoba iningi likhethe ukuthula. Sesidlulile isikhathi sokunqamula ukuthula. I-Charlottesville kumele iyeke ukusebenzisa imali yethu ngokumelene nathi.
