Kuthiwani Ukube Bezingekho Izizwe

Okuthile wonke umuntu waseMelika akuthatha kalula kwenze izinkinga zethu zamanje ze-geopolitical zaba zimbi kakhulu. Leyo nto ihlezi igxilile ezingqondweni zethu kusukela ngesikhathi sasingakwazi ukuthatha izinyathelo ezimbili ngaphandle kobuso obugcwele ukhaphethi. Kodwa ngaphambi kokuba ngifinyelele kulokho, ake sibeke isimo.

Akumele ngikutshele ukuthi izinto zimbi. Umnotho wethu usekelwe cishe ngokuphelele kuwo wonke umuntu othenga izinto angazidingi ngamanani angenakukwazi ukuwathenga, indawo yethu yemvelo ingu-70% wepulasitiki manje, "ukwenza uthando" okuningi sekuthathelwe indawo ngokuthumela i-emoji yesitshalo seqanda ocingweni lwakho, futhi mhlawumbe esabisa kunazo zonke - wrestling professional kuseyinto.

(Nakuba kukhona futhi okuqinisa idolo ngokuthi nakulezi zikhathi ezinzima, amadoda agonana ajuluke ubomvu asaqhubeka. Ngithanda ukucabanga ukuthi uma sekubusa amaphela, lapho sekukhule ukhula phakathi kwezinsalela zemigwaqo nezinkundla zokudlala nasezinxanxatheleni zezitolo nokushisa. izindawo zokubhucunga amatshe, lapho abantu bokugcina abahlala ezindlini ezingaphansi komhlaba begqoke i-chic ye-gas-mask (ikakhulukazi okumpunga nokumnyama kodwa besadlala umbala ocekeceke emarimu ezingilazi noma kuma-tattoos entanyeni noma emigodleni yembazo yempi eyenziwe ekhaya), nalapho umnotho usekelwe ku-Gross Domestic Protein Pellets - okuwukuphela komthombo wokudla osele - ngisho nangaleso sikhathi, amadoda angama-bulky azoqhubeka enza ukulimala okumangalisayo emoyeni okuhlasimulisayo ngenxa yenjabulo kanye nesasasa lanoma ubani osele. Lokhu kungasho ukuthi akekho owaziyo kusho amakhamera ayedliwe izingxenye ezithile eminyakeni eyi-10 ngaphambili.)

Iphuzu liwukuthi - izinto zimbi njengamanje. Futhi zenziwa zaba zimbi kakhulu isihloko esithize esingavumelekile ukuthi amahange wemidiya asheshe adle othayi bawo bentamo kunokuxoxa.

Izinkinga zethu zonke zabhebhethekiswa ubuzwe obunobuthi, kuhlanganisa nobhubhane esisanda kudlula kulo. Ngoba - futhi ngiyazi ukuthi lokhu kuyamangaza - alikho igciwane elikukhathazayo uma ufaka ucingo noma ukhuluma olunye ulimi noma ungowokufika ovela kwenye indawo noma wasokwa emcimbini neshaman namapayipi kanye ibhakede likamango ovuthiwe.

Igciwane alinandaba.

Kodwa futhi sivumela ukuduka kwethu komuntu kulawule indlela esisabela ngayo emhlabeni wenyama ongazi nhlobo futhi ongavumeli izinganekwane ezinjalo. Ukwenza izinto njengokushisekela ubuzwe lapho ubhekene nesifo esibulalayo kufana nokuzama ukulwa nenqwaba yama-samurai aphethe inkemba ungenalutho ngaphandle kwe-nostalgia njengowukuphela kwesikhali sakho.

Ngenkathi kukhulunywa nge-COVID-19 okokuqala e-US, uhulumeni wethu kanye nabezindaba bayisebenzisa njengethuba lokusabalalisa inkulumo-ze emelene neChina, eyaziwa kabanzi ngokuthi iyiphethiloli yokucwasa ngokwebala. Isiteshi senkulumo-ze esihamba phambili esizweni sakithi, i-New York Times (ngiqonde ukuthi ngakho konke ukungahloniphi), ikubeka ngale ndlela - "Ukuqeda I-Coronavirus, I-Mao-Style Social Control Blankets China."

Oh, ukulawula komphakathi? Basho njengokuthi - “Wonke umuntu uhlala amamitha ayisithupha kude nawo wonke umuntu. Akekho oya endaweni yokudlela noma endaweni yokucima ukoma noma avakashele ugogo nomkhulu wakho noma avalelise umuntu omdala ebhasini. Ungahambi noma kuphi. “Ungadlelani nomakhelwane wakho, ungafisi imbongolo yomakhelwane wakho.” Usho njengalolo hlobo lokulawulwa komphakathi? Usho imikhawulo ebesinayo khona lapha e-United States?

Ngiyaxolisa, babhali be-Times abangesabi, kodwa ukucwasa ngokobuhlanga akuyona into engcono kakhulu ongayenza ngokumelene nesifo esihlaselayo. Ambalwa kakhulu “ama-isms” avimba ama-agent amagciwane angenawo amagciwane e-ultramicroscopic. Mina ngokwami ​​ngizamile ukusebenzisa ibuddhism, i-sadomasochism, i-feudalism, i-autoerotic asphyxiationism, kanye ne-antidisestablishmentarianism. Bonke bangiphoxile. (Nakuba i-feudalism yabonisa isithembiso ngokumelene necala elincane lama-rickets enganginawo ngiseyingane.)

Izikhulu zethu ezibusayo ezicwasa abokufika azikwazi ukulokotha zisho iqiniso - iChina empeleni iphumelele ukwehlisa igciwane, yathengela iMelika isikhathi esengeziwe esibalulekile ngaphambi kokuba lisabalale ogwini lwethu. Ngisho neNew York Times yagcina ivumile ukuthi “iChina Yathenga Isikhathi Sasentshonalanga. INtshonalanga Yakuchitha.”

Lesi ngesinye sezikhathi ze-Times' ezinelungelo lobunikazi lokuza kuJesu lapho ngokuzumayo bedonsa i-180, amathayi ekhala, futhi baqaphela iqiniso abantu abaningi ababeliqonda amasonto, uma kungezona izinyanga, uma kungeyona iminyaka, ngaphambili. Benze lokhu okufanayo nama-WMD e-Iraq, ukulimala kokushintsha kwesimo sezulu, ukungabibikho kokulimala kwensangu, isihluku samaphoyisa, ukuhlukunyezwa ngokocansi emsebenzini, noma ngabe abesifazane kufanele bagibele amahhashi “isihlalo esiseceleni,” nokuthi i-Matrix ikhona yini. kuhle.

Empeleni kufana nokuthi bathi, “Yebo, ngiyaxolisa ngakho konke lokho kungcola okucwasa ngokwebala esikuphrinte enyangeni edlule. Siziguqule ngokuphelele izindlela zethu… kuze kube isonto kusukela manje lapho sizobuyela ekuqhubekiseleni phambili izimpi zokulwela abamhlophe lapho amasosha aseMelika eqhumisa ama-Arab ngesasasa.”

Ngicabanga ukuthi iphuzu engizama ukuliveza elokuthi ukukhuluma ngokuthi izwe elilodwa lingcono noma libi kakhulu noma libuthaka noma yini phakathi nezinkinga zethu zamanje zomhlaba kufana nokuthi umhlambi wobhejane abathukuthele ubunyathela kuwena futhi ulokhu umemeza. ogqoke izicathulo ezinhle kunomfana oseduze kwakho.

Obhejane. Ungakwenzi. Ukunakekela.

Njengamanje - lesi sikhathi - yisikhathi esibi futhi esibalulekile. Akusibonisi nje kuphela amaphutha ahlekisayo onxiwankulu, kodwa futhi kukhombisa ubuntu bethu obuhlanganyelwe. Kufanele sihlanganyele ndawonye, ​​silwele ikusasa elingcono, futhi silahle ubuzwe bethu obunobuthi. Kodwa abaholi bethu bezenhlalo ngeke balokothe ​​bakwenze lokho.

I-MintPress News kanye nezinye izitolo zibike ukuthi phakathi nalolu bhubhane iMelika empeleni yakhuphula ukushisa empini yayo eyingxube neVenezuela. Intatheli uLeonardo Flores wabhala, "Unswinyo lwaseMelika eVenezuela seluphoqe izwe ukuthi lichithe imali ephindwe kathathu ekuhloleni izinsiza njengamazwe angavunyelwe." Phezu kwalokho, uMnyango Wezobulungiswa wafaka imali eyizigidi eziyi-15 zamaRandi ekhanda likaMongameli uNicolás Maduro.

I-Iran nayo ihlupheke kakhulu ngenxa yenswinyo yethu kubo. Ngesikhathi sokuqubuka kwalolu bhubhane, i-Google yadonsa uhlelo lokusebenza olusemthethweni lwase-Iran obeluhloselwe ukusiza abantu babo ukuthi babhekane ne-COVID-19. Ngokuyisisekelo, izikhulu zikahulumeni wethu kanye nenkampani yezobuchwepheshe (elala enamathele futhi ethambekele embhedeni nazo) bafuna ukwenza isiqiniseko sokuthi abantu abaningi babulawa yi-COVID-19 ngangokunokwenzeka - e-Iran naseVenezuela naseNyakatho Korea kanye nanoma imaphi amanye amazwe esingawafuni. like ngoba lawo mazwe enqaba ukukhwehlela ngokukhululekile amafutha abo noma i-lithium noma izinsimbi zomhlaba ezingavamile noma ukuzimela.

Kodwa angikwazi ukukugcizelela ngokwanele lokhu: Amagciwane, kanye nenkinga yesimo sezulu, nokuwohloka kwemvelo kanye ne-acidification yolwandle - akekho kubo onendaba ukuthi ungowakuphi!

Nansi into ongeke uyizwe ezitolo zakho ezivamile nakuzo zonke izinhlaka zakho zebhizinisi. Nansi into enqatshelwe: Mhlawumbe, mhlawumbe, ubhubhane kanye nesomiso kanye nemililo yamahlathi kanye nezikhukhula kusikhombisa ukuthi sekuyisikhathi sokuvela sidlule umqondo wezizwe.

(Ngizokunika isikhashana ngenkathi ingqondo yakho ibambezeleka ngecala lokucabanga elenziwe yilo mbhali. …Khona-ke, uma unesibindi ngokwanele, sicela uqhubeke ufunda.)

Senza njengezizwe ezinikiwe - njengokungathi ayikho enye indlela yokuhlela izinhlobo zethu zezilwane, ayikho enye indlela yokuziphatha ngaphandle kokuthi imibala yefulegi lakho idwetshwe ezingonweni zakho futhi iculo lakho lesizwe lishiswe libe yindaba yobuchopho bakho obuthambile. Kodwa eqinisweni, izizwe azizange zibe yindlela thina bantu esizihlukanise ngayo. Umqondo wezizwe awumdala neze.

Lapho sicabanga ngemibono noma imikhuba yokuziphatha eye yamelana novivinyo lwesikhathi kangangokuthi ibonakala inengqondo, sicabanga ngezenzo nezinkolelo esezinezinkulungwane zeminyaka ubudala. Lolo hlu luhlanganisa ukuhamba ngemilenze emibili, ukuthwala usana lwakho, ukuya ocansini, ukuzivikela, ukwakha indawo yokukhosela, ukupheka ukudla, nokukhipha izinwele ezinde emzimbeni wakho (ikakhulukazi emakhaleni) ukuze uthole amaphuzu ocansini okukhulunywe ngawo ngaphambili. Zonke lezi zinto zenziwe yizinhlobo zethu isikhathi eside.

Kodwa ukuzehlukanisa ngokwezizwe ngokweqiniso akuzange kwenzeke. Izifundazwe zazingekho ngokuqinile kwaze kwaba sekupheleni kwekhulu le-18. UJohn Breuilly weLondon School of Economics uthi, “Kusekude isikhathi eside, izwe lezwe liyinto yamuva nje… Ngaphambi kokuphela kwekhulu le-18, zazingekho izifunda zezwe zangempela… kungekho mapasi noma imingcele njengoba sazi ukuthi zazikhona.”

Futhi ngisho nalapho amazwe eqala ukukhula, ayengabalulekile kangako kubantu abaningi. Uyaqhubeka, “Izifiki eziningi zasempumalanga yeYurophu ezifika e-US ngekhulu le-19 zingasho ukuthi zivela kuliphi idolobhana, kodwa hhayi ukuthi yiliphi izwe: kwakungasho lutho kubo. …Imibuso yasendulo inemibala emabalazweni anamuhla njengokungathi inemingcele eqinile, kodwa yayingenayo.”

Izizwe zase-Afrika zasungulwa ngo-1885 yinqwaba yezicebi ezimhlophe engqungqutheleni yaseBerlin. Imingcele yezwe yahlukanisa phakathi kwamasiko nezifunda ezingaphezu kuka-1,000, ihlukanisa abantu abanobungane futhi ihlanganisa ndawonye abanye ababengezwani.

Ngakho eminyakeni engaphezudlwana kuka-200 edlule ukuhlukaniswa kwabantu ngezigaba kwashintsha futhi izizwe zaba into entsha eshisayo. “Ngo-1800 cishe akekho eFrance owayezicabangela njengamaFulentshi. Ngo-1900 bonke baphumelela.”

Umbono owabamba eminyakeni engu-200 edlule usubusa zonke izingqondo zethu, njenge-parasite. Asikwazi ukucabanga ukuthi sihlukaniswa, sichazwa, noma sihlukaniswa ngezinye izindlela njengoba sivuma ukuthi ngaphakathi siphukile kakhulu. AmaRiphabhulikhi ayawadelela amaDemocrat. Abathandi be-White Sox bayabazonda abalandeli be-Yankees. Labo abathola inkukhu ethosiwe kwa-KFC bacabanga ukuthi labo abathanda i-Chick-fil-A bangase bahlikihle ulimi lwabo nge-bull scat eyisonto elilodwa ubudala.

Kwezinye izimo ukusihlukanisa ngokwehlukile kunesizwe kungenza umqondo omkhulu. Abantu abacebile banamathuba amaningi okuthi basinde egciwaneni kunabantu abampofu. Abantu abacebile emhlabeni wonke banamathuba amaningi okuthola ukuhlolwa, ukwelashwa, odokotela abalungile, imishini yokuphefumula, njll. Abantu abampofu emhlabeni wonke kungenzeka ukuthi bazame “ukuzikhandla” ekhaya ngoba bengenaye udokotela. noma awukwazi ukuyikhokhela. Kuthiwani uma sinquma ukuthi azikho izizwe kodwa kunalokho abantu abasebenzayo emhlabeni babeyiqembu elilodwa futhi abanikazi bezinkampani zomhlaba bengelinye iqembu. Ukube abantu bebehlukaniswa ngaleyo ndlela esikhundleni salokho, abantu abasebenzayo baseChina bebezokwazi ukusiza abantu abasebenzayo base-Italy noma baseMelika futhi ngokuphambene nalokho ngaphandle kwenkulumo-ze yobuzwe. (Impela lokhu kuphakamisa ezinye izinkinga njengokuthi abanikazi bezinkampani bazoyiqongelela yonke imithi kanye nama-ventilators njengoba ngokuvamile kungama-sociopaths.)

Kodwa abezindaba bethu abajwayelekile basitshela ukuthi singalokothi sicheme nabantu besinye isizwe. Bathi ukukhathalela kuqala futhi okuyinhloko ngeMelika. Nokho empeleni, uma sikhulula izingqondo zethu ngale kwejele lengqondo lobuzwe obunobuthi, ingabe ukhona phakathi kwethu onokuthile ngokumelene nomdayisi wezicathulo eShayina noma indoda kadoti eCuba? Ngiyakungabaza kakhulu. Awulwi nalowo mdayisi wezicathulo. Awunaso isizathu sokumzonda noma ngisho nokumfisela okubi. Ngakho-ke eqinisweni abacebe ngokwedlulele emhlabeni balwa bodwa kuyilapho u-99% wabantu abahlukahlukene besendleleni yokugibela - abanye bazi futhi abanye bengazi lutho.

Khumbula - umhlaba wethu uyathuthuka. Futhi lokho kungaba yinto enhle. Ababhali bencwadi ethi “The Universe Next Door” be-NewScientist bathi, “Izinhlelo eziningi zezikhundla zivame ukuba nzima kakhulu, zibize kakhulu futhi azikwazi ukuphendula oguqukweni.” I-United States yethu yamanje ilingana nazo zonke lezi zici bese kuba ezinye. Umbuso waseMelika uphezulu kakhulu esindayo, uyabiza, futhi awukwazi ukuphendula oguqukweni. Njengomkhumbi wempi omkhulu noma uChris Christie, umbuso waseMelika uthatha isikhathi eside kakhulu ukushintsha indlela noma kancane. Inertia yamanje inkulu kakhulu.

Uma ugcina unesikhundla esiphezulu, esibizayo esingakwazi ukuzivumelanisa nezimo, kudala ukungezwani okukhulu. Buyela ku-NewScientist - “Ukungezwani okuwumphumela kungase kukhishwe ngokuwa ingxenye. … Ukuwa, kusho abanye, ukucekela phansi okuvumela izakhiwo ezintsha ukuthi ziqhamuke.”

Hhayi-ke, ngikuphathele izindaba. Nakanjani siphakathi kokuwohloka okuncane. Umsebenzi wokuqala wokuzilibazisa waseMelika wakho ovamile ukubeka ingadi yabo yokuphila. Phakathi nalokhu kuwa kancane, izakhiwo ezintsha zingavela uma siphuma emajele ethu akudala. Njengamanje akukhulunywa ngezizwe noma uthango noma amaqembu ezepolitiki. Kumayelana nawe, nami, nomakhelwane bethu, abangani, nokuhlanganyela ubuntu.
