“Uma kuzoba nokuthula emhlabeni,
Kumele kube nokuthula ezizweni.
Uma kuba khona ukuthula ezizweni,
Kumele kube nokuthula emadolobheni.
Uma kuzoba nokuthula emadolobheni,
Kumele kube nokuthula phakathi komakhelwane.
Uma kuzoba nokuthula phakathi komakhelwane,
Kumele kube nokuthula ekhaya.
Uma kuzoba nokuthula ekhaya,
Kufanele kube nokuthula enhliziyweni.”
― Lao-tse
Amaholide ayeza! NgoZibandlela, inyanga yasebusika, iqhwa, neqhwa enyakatho, imicabango yethu iphenduka ukuthula emhlabeni, isivumelwano samaholide, iziqalo ezintsha, nokuthakazelelwa kuso sonke isintu. Yinkathi futhi lapho sinikeza khona izingane, abangani, namalungu omndeni izipho.
Kodwa bangaki bethu abenza ukuxhumana phakathi kwalenkathi yokuthula, nezipho esizikhethayo? Abazali bathengela izingane zabo ezincane ezitolo zamathoyizi noma ezindaweni zokuthenga, amashalofu okuskena agcwele imidlalo yevidiyo enodlame, amasosha amathoyizi nezibhamu. Izishoshovu zokuthula eziphequlula izincwadi namavidiyo wabangane nomndeni zizobona izihloko eziqanjiwe nezingezona izinganekwane ezikhazimulisa impi nokulwa. Ziphi izincwadi namavidiyo akhuluma ngokuthula? Futhi incwadi noma imuvi enjalo ingabukeka kanjani?
World BEYOND WarIthimba le-Culture Jamming ubelokhu ezibuza le mibuzo. Siyazi ukuthi ukulwela ukuthula akukhona nje ukumasha emigwaqweni, ukuhlala, ukubhala izincwadi nokunye ukuxhumana kwezepolitiki. Ukuze sifinyelele ukuthula emhlabeni, njengoba uLao-Tse asikisela, kudingeka siqale ezindlini zethu nasezinhliziyweni zethu.
Izipho zokuthula Emhlabeni
Ithimba le-WBW elihlanganisa amasiko selidalile iphosta ewusizo kakhulu yemibono yesipho ongazisebenzisa ukuthenga ku-inthanethi.
Kubalulekile ukuqaphela, nokho, ukuthi lolu hlu luyikhetho nje elimele ukukugqugquzela - ziningi ezinye izipho ezinhle zokuthula ongazinika!

Ukuthengela izingane
Sikumema ukuthi ubukele lezi izikhangiso ze-spoof ezintathu eyenziwe yiVeterans for Peace UK ukuze idonsele ukunaka kunqubomgomo yaseBrithani yokuqasha izingane ezineminyaka engu-16 nengu-17 ebuthweni elihlomile futhi iqondise izingane ngenkulumo-ze yokuqasha. Nakuba le vidiyo isuka e-UK, umlayezo wayo uyasebenza nakwezinye izizwe (njenge-US) ezikhuthaza impi ngokukhangisa nabezindaba.
Ubani ongafuna ukuthenga i-GI Joe noma omunye umuntu owenza okuthile ngemva kokubona le vidiyo?
Sesikushilo lokho, uma kuziwa ekuthengeleni izingane, ungase uzizwe ulahlekile uma ufuna amathoyizi akhuluma ngokusobala ngokuthula. Isiko lokuthula licashile kunalokho!
Bheka amathoyizi, izincwadi nemidlalo eyisibonelo sezindlela zokuxhumana ngokuthula nabanye. Bangase futhi bagcizelele ukulingana ngokobulili, ukulwa nokucwasa, ukuqonda amanye amasiko, ukwazisa nokuhlonipha imvelo, nokunye. Ngokwesibonelo, The 5 Amandla Revolution amafilimu opopayi kanye nezincwadi zamahlaya ezinezilimi eziningi zixoxa ngezindaba zabantu bayo yonke imibala namasiko abasebenza ndawonye ukuze bamise iMpi YaseVietnam, bavikele imvelo, futhi benze izinguquko ezinhle emphakathini. Imidlalo yebhodi efana Ukuthula Esikhathini Sethu inselele abadlali ukuthi basebenze ngokubambisana ukuze kuxazululwe izingxabano zamazwe ngamazwe. Ushintsho olwamukelekile oluvela kumageyimu afana ne-Risk kanye ne-Monopoly, kanye nemibono yabo yomhlaba engafaneleki kanye nemilayezo ye-hegemony.
Sithemba ukuthi le bhulogi emfushane kanye nephosta ehambisana nayo kuzokukhuthaza! Amaholide amahle futhi kwangathi izenzo zethu zingadala isisekelo sokuthula nothando onyakeni ozayo.
