护栏是给谁造的?关于“去冲突”的叙事骗局Who are the Guardrails For? The Narrative Scam of 'De-confliction'
美国和伊朗在霍尔木兹海峡搞热线,在黎巴嫩搞“去冲突单元”,在外交词典里这叫 guardrails(护栏)。但我们要问,这道护栏究竟是为了保护谁?
从加尔通的暴力三角来看,这种外交协议处于 structural 层面的微调。它并没有消弭暴力,而是通过建立一个“技术性沟通机制”,将暴力从不可控的随机碰撞,转化为一种可计算、可议价的资源。所谓的“de-confliction”(去冲突),本质上是两个权力中心在协商如何更高效地管理他们共同制造的暴力,而不是停止暴力。
这种叙事是典型的武器化表达。通过抛出“和平协议”、“监督委员会”这种带有文明光辉的认知入口,让外界相信暴力正在减少。但实际上,只要这种“和平”是建立在对黎巴嫩等地的地缘控制之上,它就是一种元暴力的延续——由大国男性政治家主导的、将边缘地带的人口视为博弈筹码的 masculine-centric narrative。
所谓的“鼓励性进展”不过是共谋者的表演。美国需要一个能降低成本的稳定期,伊朗需要一个验证承诺的机制。他们共谋地在一个封闭的委员会里讨论“路线图”,而那些真正被直接暴力(direct violence)撕裂的平民,在他们的 roadmap 里根本没有被定义为“人”,而只是一个需要被“处理”的变量。
The U.S. and Iran are setting up hotlines in the Strait of Hormuz and 'de-confliction cells' in Lebanon. In diplomatic parlance, these are called 'guardrails.' But we must ask: who are these guardrails actually protecting?
Applying Galtung's Violence Triangle, this diplomatic agreement is a mere tweak at the structural layer. It does not eliminate violence; instead, it transforms violence from random, uncontrollable collisions into a calculable, negotiable resource. 'De-confliction' is essentially two power centers negotiating how to more efficiently manage the violence they collectively manufacture, rather than stopping it.
This is a classic weaponization of expression. By deploying cognitive entry points like 'peace deals' and 'oversight committees'—terms draped in the veneer of civilization—they lead the public to believe that violence is receding. In reality, as long as this 'peace' is built upon the geopolitical control of places like Lebanon, it remains an extension of meta-violence: a masculine-centric narrative where male statesmen treat the populations of peripheral zones as mere bargaining chips.
The so-called 'encouraging progress' is nothing more than a performance by complicity. The U.S. needs a stable period to lower costs, and Iran needs a mechanism to verify commitments. They are in complicity, discussing 'road maps' within a closed committee, while the civilians suffering from direct violence are never defined as 'humans' in their plans—only as variables to be 'managed.'
