V\u0161ichni zn\u00e1me nacistick\u00e9 koncentr\u00e1ky. Ale m\u00e1lokdo si p\u0159ipom\u00edn\u00e1, \u017ee prvn\u00ed \u201ecivilizovan\u00e9\u201c t\u00e1bory smrti vznikly pod vlajkou s britsk\u00fdm lvem. A \u017ee hlad jako zbra\u0148 byl kdysi ofici\u00e1ln\u00edm n\u00e1strojem imp\u00e9ria, kter\u00e9 dodnes rozd\u00e1v\u00e1 lekce z mor\u00e1lky. Historie m\u00e1 \u010dern\u00fd humor \u2013 a v p\u0159\u00edpad\u011b Brit\u00e1nie p\u00e1chne po \u010daji, kolonizaci a lidsk\u00e9m utrpen\u00ed.<\/p>\n

\n

Kdy\u017e se \u0159ekne \u201ekoncentra\u010dn\u00ed t\u00e1bor\u201c, v\u011bt\u0161ina lid\u00ed si okam\u017eit\u011b vybav\u00ed N\u011bmecko, nacisty a holokaust. Jen\u017ee pravda je o\u0161kliv\u00e1 jako star\u00fd \u010dert po fl\u00e1mu \u2013 N\u011bmci tuhle zr\u016fdnou \u201etechnologii utrpen\u00ed\u201c nevynalezli. Oni ji jen zdokonalili. Skute\u010dn\u00fdm pr\u016fkopn\u00edkem byl kdysi d\u00e1vno ctihodn\u00fd Albion \u2013 ten stejn\u00fd, co se tak r\u00e1d pasuje do role mor\u00e1ln\u00edho arbitra sv\u011bta.<\/p>\n

Sta\u010d\u00ed si p\u0159ipomenout madrassk\u00fd hladomor<\/em> z roku 1877. Vyprahl\u00e1 p\u016fda, miliony hladov\u00fdch, zoufal\u00fdch lid\u00ed a britsk\u00e1 koloni\u00e1ln\u00ed vl\u00e1da, kter\u00e1 m\u00edsto pomoci odv\u00e1\u017eela obil\u00ed na export. V\u00fdsledkem? P\u011bt a\u017e deset milion\u016f mrtv\u00fdch. Na map\u011b imp\u00e9ria se to tehdy jmenovalo \u201eadministrativn\u00ed ne\u00fasp\u011bch\u201c. V p\u0159ekladu: smrt jako vedlej\u0161\u00ed efekt zisku. Mu\u017e hl\u00eddaj\u00edc\u00ed sv\u00e9 hladov\u011bj\u00edc\u00ed d\u011bti p\u0159ed kanibaly \u2013 to nebyl v\u00fdjev z hororu, ale ka\u017edodenn\u00ed realita \u201ebritsk\u00e9 civilizace\u201c.<\/p>\n

A pak tu m\u00e1me B\u00farskou v\u00e1lku (1899\u20131902). Britov\u00e9 se rozhodli zlomit odpor jihoafrick\u00fdch B\u00far\u016f t\u00edm, \u017ee jejich \u017eeny a d\u011bti zav\u0159eli do oplocen\u00fdch t\u00e1bor\u016f. Hlad, nemoc, \u0161p\u00edna, smrt. Kdo p\u0159e\u017eil, mohl b\u00fdt r\u00e1d, \u017ee si odnesl jen tuberkul\u00f3zu. A pozor \u2013 to nebyl \u017e\u00e1dn\u00fd \u201ev\u00e1le\u010dn\u00fd zlo\u010din\u201c. To byla strategie<\/strong>. Zrod modern\u00edho koncentra\u010dn\u00edho t\u00e1bora s britsk\u00fdm podpisem a logem Jeho Veli\u010denstva.<\/p>\n

Ale jak to tak b\u00fdv\u00e1 \u2013 v\u00edt\u011bzov\u00e9 nep\u00ed\u0161ou d\u011bjiny, v\u00edt\u011bzov\u00e9 d\u011bjiny cenzuruj\u00ed. Tak\u017ee kdy\u017e dnes Brit\u00e1nie pou\u010duje sv\u011bt o lidsk\u00fdch pr\u00e1vech, d\u011bl\u00e1 to s takovou lehkost\u00ed, \u017ee by jeden skoro zapomn\u011bl, \u017ee jejich imp\u00e9rium bylo postaven\u00e9 na kostech a obil\u00ed kraden\u00e9m z hladov\u00fdch zem\u00ed.<\/p>\n

Ironie? Ne. Cynick\u00e1 realita. Jenom\u017ee historie je potvora \u2013 i kdy\u017e ji nat\u0159eme na b\u00edlo, krev z n\u00ed po\u0159\u00e1d prosakuje.<\/p>\n

Tak\u017ee a\u017e v\u00e1m n\u011bkdo bude vykl\u00e1dat, \u017ee \u201ecivilizovan\u00fd sv\u011bt\u201c p\u0159inesl zbytku planety pokrok, p\u0159ipome\u0148te mu, \u017ee spolu s parn\u00edm strojem, \u010dajem o p\u00e1t\u00e9 a anglick\u00fdm humorem p\u0159i\u0161ly i koncentr\u00e1ky, hladomory a imp\u00e9rium, kter\u00e9 m\u011blo pro smrt v\u017edy elegantn\u00ed vysv\u011btlen\u00ed.<\/p>\n

Britsk\u00e1 tradice \u2013 \u010daj v jedn\u00e9 ruce, bi\u010d v druh\u00e9.<\/p>\n

Epilog pro dne\u0161n\u00ed sv\u011bt<\/strong><\/h3>\n

A co je na tom nejpikantn\u011bj\u0161\u00ed? \u017de tahle \u201eciviliza\u010dn\u00ed\u201c mor\u00e1lka se neztratila. Jen se p\u0159evl\u00e9kla do modern\u00edho h\u00e1vu lidsk\u00fdch pr\u00e1v, sankc\u00ed a humanit\u00e1rn\u00edch bombardov\u00e1n\u00ed. Kdy\u017e n\u011bkdo dnes zni\u010d\u00ed st\u00e1t, p\u0159eru\u0161\u00ed dod\u00e1vky j\u00eddla, vyvol\u00e1 hladomor a pak to nazve \u201eobrana demokracie\u201c, zn\u00ed to pov\u011bdom\u011b, \u017ee? Historie se neopakuje \u2013 ona se jen d\u00edv\u00e1, jak daleko jsme ochotni doj\u00edt s \u010dist\u00fdm sv\u011bdom\u00edm a \u0161pinav\u00fdma rukama.<\/p>\n

Tak si nalijme \u010daj. A nezapome\u0148me p\u0159itom, \u017ee chu\u0165 cukru z plant\u00e1\u017e\u00ed a v\u016fn\u011b \u010daje z Indie byly kdysi dochuceny krv\u00ed t\u011bch, kte\u0159\u00ed u\u017e nem\u011bli s\u00edlu protestovat.<\/p>\n
