Izishoshovu zixoxa ngemizamo yokulwa nempi, imizamo esekela imvelo

Ukuphikiswa okunamandla, okungenabudlova kwempi - komunye nomunye nakwezemvelo - yilokho okuvuselela nokugqugquzela uBill Moyer. Isishoshovu sombuso waseWashington muva nje besiseWashington, DC, ngenxa ye- Ayikho iMpi 2017: Impi Nendawo Ingqungquthela ehlanganise lezi zinhlangano ezivame ukwehlukana ngezimpelasonto zezethulo, izinkundla zokucobelelana ngolwazi kanye nenhlanganyelo.
Le ngqungquthela, ebanjwe ngoSepthemba 22-24 e-American University futhi ihanjelwe abantu ababalelwa ku-150, ixhaswe ngabakwa- Worldbeyondwar.org, elizibiza ngokuthi “inhlangano yomhlaba wonke yokuqeda zonke izimpi.”
Ngo-2003, uMoyer wasungula i-Backbone Campaign, esekelwe eVashon Island, eWashington. Lapho, uhola ukuqeqeshwa emikhakheni emihlanu ethi “Theory of Change” yeqembu: ubushoshovu obunobuciko, ukuhlela umphakathi, umsebenzi wamasiko wokulwa nengcindezelo, ukuxoxa izindaba kanye nokwenza abezindaba, kanye namasu okuxazulula inguquko efanele. Isiqubulo seqembu sithi “Melana — Vikela — Dala!”
“Ingxenye yengqinamba iwukuba kwakhiwe kanjani inhlangano engeyona nje imibono kodwa esebenzela izithakazelo ezihlukene zabantu abavamile,” kusho uMoyer, owafundela isayensi yezombangazwe nefilosofi yaseMelika eSeattle University, isikhungo samaJesuit. Ubaba kaMoyer wayefundele ukuba umJesuit, kanti umama wakhe wayeyindela, ngakho-ke lapho ebhekisela “ngenketho yokukhetha abampofu” ngesikhathi exoxa ngobushoshovu bakhe - “lokho kuyisisekelo sakho kimi,” esho - kungathi uginqa olimini lwakhe.
“Isifundo esikhulu kule nhlangano ukuthi abantu bavikela lokho abakuthandayo noma lokho okwenza umehluko wezinto ezibonakalayo ekuphileni kwabo,” esho, yingakho abantu bevame ukungazibandakanyi kuze kube yilapho usongo selusemnyango wabo, ngokoqobo noma ngokomfanekiso.
Engqungqutheleni ye-No War, u-Moyer wahlala ephaneli mayelana nokugqugquzela ubuciko bomhlaba nokuthula nezinye izishoshovu ezimbili: uNadine Bloch, umqondisi wokuqeqesha weqembu elithi Beautiful Trouble, elikhuthaza amathuluzi okuguquguquka okungenalo ubudlova; noBrian Trautman, weqembu iVeterans for Peace.
Esethulweni sakhe, uMoyer ukhulume ngokushintshanisa eka-Sun Tzu The Art of War - incwadi yezempi yaseShayina yekhulu lesihlanu - eya enhlanganweni yezenhlalo engenalo udlame ngezenzo ezinjengokulenga isibhengezo esikhungweni sokuboshwa esifundeka ngokuthi "UJesu wayezodingisa bani" noma ukuvimba umshini wokumba i-Arctic nge-flotilla yama-kayak.
Lesi senzo, asibiza ngokuthi “i-kayaktivism,” siyindlela ethandwayo, kusho uMoyer. Uyisebenzise kamuva nje ngoSepthemba emfuleni iPotomac, eduze nePentagon.
I-Kayaktivism kanye nengqungquthela ye-No War kuhloswe ngayo ukunakwa ngomonakalo omkhulu owenziwa ngamasosha emvelweni. Isizindalwazi se-No War sikubeka ngendlela ecacile: amasosha ase-US asebenzisa imiphongolo kawoyela eyi-340,000 usuku ngalunye, obekungayibeka endaweni yama-38 emhlabeni ukube bekuyizwe; Amaphesenti angu-69 ezindawo zokuhlanza i-Superfund ahlobene nezempi; amashumi ezigidi zamabhomu agqitshwayo namabhomu agqitshwayo aye ashiywa izingxabano ezihlukahlukene embulungeni yonke; kanye nokugawulwa kwamahlathi, ukungenwa ubuthi komoya namanzi ngemisebe nezinye izinto ezinobuthi, nokucekelwa phansi kwezitshalo kuyimiphumela evame kakhulu yempi nemisebenzi yezempi.
“Kudingeka sisayine isivumelwano sokuthula nomhlaba,” kusho uGar Smith, umsunguli we-Environmentalists Against War futhi owayengumhleli we-Earth Island Journal. USmith ukhulume emhlanganweni wokuvula ingqungquthela, lapho yena nabanye baphawule khona okuxakayo ukuthi impi (ngokuthembela emafutheni ezinto ezimbiwa phansi) inomthelela ekuguquguqukeni kwesimo sezulu, kanti impi yokulawulwa kwezinto ezimbiwa phansi (kanye nokucekelwa phansi kwemvelo okudalayo) kuyimbangela ehamba phambili. lempi.
Isiqubulo esithi “Awekho amafutha ezimpi! Azikho izimpi zikawoyela!” ukhonjiswe ngokugqamile emsamo kuyo yonke ingqungquthela.
“Abantu abaningi bacabanga ngempi ngamagama amangalisayo aseHollywood,” kusho uSmith, osanda kulungisa le ncwadi I-War and Environment Reader, amakhophi awo alinganiselwe ayetholakala ngaphandle kwehholo lomhlangano, kanye namatafula agcwele izincwadi, izikibha, izitikha ezinkulu, izinkinobho nezinye izinto. "Kodwa empini yangempela, asikho isiphetho sokugcina."
Ukubhujiswa - ezimpilweni nasemvelweni, kuphawula uSmith - kuvame ukuhlala unomphela.
Ngosuku lokugcina lwengqungquthela, uMoyer uthe umisa isikhungo sokuqeqesha esihlala njalo sama-ejenti okushintsha eVashon Island. Uzophinde asebenze kwenye iphrojekthi, iSolury Rail, umkhankaso wokufaka ugesi kwimizila yezitimela ezweni lonke, ukuze kuphehliswe amandla avuselelekayo emizila yesitimela.
Ubize umbutho omelene nempi, oweseka imvelo ngokuthi “umzabalazo ongokomoya okumele ulwelwe endaweni yothando,” futhi wakhala ngokuthi okudingeka ngempela wuguquko lwemibono, usuke lapho kudayiswa khona yonke into — umoya, amanzi. , “noma yini engcwele” — kuleyo lapho izimiso zokuziphatha eziyisisekelo kuwukuqaphela ukuthi “sonke sikulokhu ndawonye.”
