AmaCanada afile

“Abantu abaningi bacabanga ukuthi ukulwela iMelika sekuvele kulahlekile. Babengeke babe okungalungile ngokwengeziwe. Lokhu kumane nje kuyisiqalo sokulwela iMelika neYurophu. Ngihloniphekile ukuthi ngiqale phansi impi yokubuyisa izwe lami ekubhujisweni. ”

Le yindlela umbulali ka-El Paso aqeda ngayo ukugqama okukhulu okumhlophe, ubhale ngaphambi nje kokuthi “angene” futhi abulale “abahlaseli” bakwa22 abebethenga esitolo sakwaWalmart ngempelasonto edlule. Futhi, njengoba wonke umuntu azi, isigamu sosuku kamuva enye indoda eyayihlomile egqoke izembatho zempi yomzimba kanye nokudlala umdlalo wezemishado yaqhubeka nokuqhuma kwengozi ngaphandle komgqomo e-Dayton, e-Ohio, yabulala ayisishiyagalolunye yalimaza i-26. Futhi ezinsukwini ezimbalwa ngaphambili, indoda enesibhamu yabulala abantu abathathu, kuhlanganise nezingane ezimbili, emkhosini eGilroy, eCalif.

Manje yini enye entsha? Ngabe kufanele sicule iculo lesizwe?

Kukhona okungahambi kahle kuleli cishe izibhamu eziyizigidi ezingama-400 - okungalungile ngaphezu kwesixazululo ngokulawulwa kwezibhamu noma izindlela ezengeziwe zokuphepha. . . ezinxanxatheleni zezitolo, ezikoleni, emikhosini yamagalikhi, emasontweni, emathempelini, emasinagogeni nakwezinye izindawo. Abantu baseMelika babulalana ngesilinganiso inqwaba eyodwa idubula ngosuku. Kungenzeka kanjani lokhu? Yini ubuthi obugcwele ingqalasizinda yomphakathi?

Cishe iminyaka eyisikhombisa edlule, ngemuva kokudutshulwa okuthusayo eSandy Hook Elementary School, isazi sezenhlalo Peter Turchin sibize ukubulawa kwabantu abaningi ezweni lonke, obekulokhu kukhuphuka ngezinga elikhulu eminyakeni eyikhulu edlule, "yimigodi yemayini yamalahle."

Wabhala: “Isizathu sokuthi kufanele sikhathazeke ngokugwedla. . . yingoba ziyizinkomba ezibonakalayo zezinto ezimbi ezikhathaza kakhulu ezisebenza ngamazinga ajulile omphakathi wethu. ”

Ngamanye amagama, ezihlasimulisayo nezesabekayo njengoba izehlakalo ezinje futhi zingezazo, futhi ziyizimpawu ezihlanganisiwe zesiphambeko esithile esigxile kwingqalasizinda yezenhlalo okumele sitholwe futhi sibhekwe naso. Ukucwasana kuyingxenye yawo. Izibhamu ziyingxenye yazo.

Bheka ukuvumelana kwabezindaba ngemuva kokudutshulwa kuka-El Paso ukuthi "ubugebengu futhi bunenzondo." Ingabe lokhu bekufanele kukwenyuse izinga lokungathi sína? Abantu abangenacala bafile noma ngabe bakubiza kanjani. Ukuzindla ukuthi kufanele kuthathwe njengecala lobugebengu inzondo kubukeka njenge-nitpicky kimi njengoba bekuveza ukuthi umsubathi akagcinanga ngokubulala abantu base22 kodwa wamisa imoto yakhe ngokungemthetho ngaphambi kokungena eWalmart.

Nakhu okwakukhona: a dehumanization ubugebengu. Kuzo zonke izigameko zokudubula okukhulu okwake kwenzeka, umbulali wayengaxhumeki yena uqobo kwizisulu zakhe. Babengebona abantu, kwakuyizimpawu zobubi bezenhlalo ayenhlanhlatha noma, empeleni, ukulimala kombuso.

ITurchin yabiza lokhu ngokuthi “ukufaka esikhundleni senhlalo” - ukufaka iqembu elithile esikhundleni sokwenza okungafanele, imemezele izitha ngenxa yobuzwe bazo, inkolo, ukuba khona kwazo ekilasini noma yisiphi esinye isizathu.

Ukuzibandakanya ngale ndlela kunenye igama. Ibizwa ngokuthi iya empini.

“Ensimini,” kubhala uTurchin, “kufanele uzame ukubulala umuntu ongakaze uhlangane naye ngaphambili. Awuzami ukubulala lo muntu, udubula ngoba egqoke umfaniswano wesitha. . . . Amasosha ezitha ayaphikisana nomphakathi. ”

Ziyi-gook. Bangabesilisa. Bangama-Hadjis.

Ngibhala ngemuva kokubulawa kwabantu abaningi emuva ngoMeyi (eVirginia Beach), Ngiphawulile"Impi iyinhlanganisela yokwenza abantu abe munye bese ibulala isitha kanye nanoma yiziphi izakhamizi ngendlela (aka, ukulimala ngokuhlangana), nokukhombisa inqubo: okusho ukuthi, ukubulawa kwabantu kanye nokuhlangana komphakathi."

Uma sigubha impi, siyibingelela futhi siyihlonipha, asigubhi izidumbu zamathuna amaningi noma amadolobha achitheke ngamabhomu nasemizaneni nasemaphathini emishado. Asigubhi ukuqothuka komsakazo, amaphutha okuzalwa okubangelwa i-uranium eqeda amandla noma isizinda sekhabhoni yomhlaba wonke esingenakuzenzakalela esivimbela ukuwa kwezemvelo kwePlanethi Yomhlaba. Asigubhi i-PTSD kanye nezinga eliphakeme lokuzibulala phakathi kwama-vets.

Sigubha ifulegi elinyakazayo nengoma yesizwe, inkazimulo nobuqili nobuqhawe. Konke lokhu kugxilisa inhliziyo - ikakhulukazi inhliziyo yensizwa - njengabanye abancane. Konke lokhu kungibuyisela esikhunjeni sokubulawa kuka-El Paso. Ubehamba, ehlome ngokuphelele, enxanxathela yezitolo eyokubulala omama nobaba beyothenga izingane zabo izingane zesikole ukuze 'babuyise izwe lami ekuchitheni.'

Wayedlala impi. Ukuqagela kwami ​​ukuthi bonke badlala impi, ngandlela thile. Ukuthi umbulali omkhulu u-vet yini noma cha - futhi amaphesenti amaningi awo - anika izimpilo zabo injongo ngokuguqula intukuthelo yabo kanye nokuphelelwa yithemba kube umsebenzi wezempi. Lapho sihlanganisa ubuhlanga kanye nokutholakala kalula kwezikhali ezibulalayo, siphenduka ubuphekula, okusho ukuthi, ukubambisana okukhona - ifa elidlula esikalini salo nezindleko zabantu kuphela ngokwaziwa kwempi uqobo.

Ngakho-ke umbuzo wami yilokhu: Kungani singeke sikhulume ngalokhu ezingeni likazwelonke? Imizuzu emingaki yezingxoxo-mpikiswano ezimbili zokugcina zeDemocratic Alliance ezinikelwe kwisabelomali sokuvikela noma izikhali zenuzi noma into eyenzeka ngekhulu le-21st yempi engapheli? UTulsi Gabbard, ongumqaphi, wasebenzisa umzuzu wesikhathi sakhe ukulungisa lolu daba, ethatha uhlangothi olwa ngokuqinile nezimpi zethu zokuguqula umbuso. Ngaphandle kwalokho. . . nada.

Ngabe kukhona umuntu ocabanga ukuthi ukuwa kwe-lockdown kuzikole zomphakathi noma amasheke wokuphepha ezitolo ezinkulu zezitolo (okwakamuva nje Ikhathuni yaseNew Yorker kuveze owesimame osemgqeni wokudla okuphuma kuye ezitolo ekhipha izicathulo zakhe futhi azifaka ebhande lokuhambisa) kuzosivikela? Ngabe ukhona okholelwa ukuthi uhlelo lwethu lwamanje lwezepolitiki luyakwazi ukubhekana nokwanda kwezimpi namadola ayizigidi eziyizigidi ezingama-trillion futhi sikhipha unyaka nonyaka ngenxa “yezokuvikela izwe” kanye namajele kanye “nokuvikeleka komngcele”?

Ngabe ukhona ongabazayo ukuthi ukubulawa kwabantu abaningi kuzoqhubeka?
