In Uganda, impunity has become a dangerous enemy of social cohesion
and public stability, certainly a potential riposte to why we seem
overburdened by our conditioned arrested development.
We are teetering on the brink of moral anarchy somewhat.
The country is in some form of a moral coma where nothing seems to
work, all because impunity and deterrence seem to have lost any sense
of conjugal arrangement in the larger scheme of social and political
relations.
First it was the politics of schadenfreude then it became a democracy
of useful idiots and serials killers and village idiots, now a
schizophrenic clone we may call a gun-toting democracy.
The egregious contamination of the popular mind through politicians'
schadenfreude demagoguery, widespread illiteracy and poverty, and lack
of critical, creative, and analytical thinking has rendered public
psychology morally and spiritually numb to the extent that bystander
apathy now defines the matrix of social relations.
The country is gradually becoming a laughable asylum of zombies, a
country where critical, creative and analytical thinking is the butt
of every conceivable joke, where mediocrity and open display of
buffoonery are rewarded with emotional sacrosanctness.
A country where lies, falsehoods…are no longer contested in the public
space, the corridors of power, churches and mosques because they
happen to be the new Orwellian doublespeak truths of the human
condition.
A country where wisdom and intelligence have become old-fashioned trinkets.
A country where respect for authority and official dereliction of duty
are a thing of the past.
A country where political theology is a means to wealth acquisition in
the material world and secular politics rather than the pursuits of
spirituality, humanism, and liberation theology. All peace-loving
Ugandans should promote healthy secularism, religious and political
tolerance, patriotism, political morality, and inter-ethnic amity.
