以“解放”之名,在原初种族的伤口上精准爆破Precision Bombing on the Wounds of the Primal Race in the Name of 'Liberation'
看这篇新闻,别被“胡塞武装”、“沙特油轮”或者“特朗普的誓言”这些政治术语给骗了。在这些宏大叙事的掩盖下,真正的逻辑极其简单:这不过是一场关于“解释权”的暴力博弈。美国通过定义谁是“威胁”,获得了在伊朗和周边地区实施 direct violence 的入场券;而伊朗及其盟友则通过打击能源通道,尝试在结构层(structural layer)重新定价全球原油和地缘影响力。
最恶心的是这种 weaponized 叙事的闭环。美国在 20 年前打阿富汗时,用的是“解放女性”的剧本,结果是让阿富汗女性在 20 年后陷入更深的绝望。而现在,当导弹在 Bushehr 的核电站附近爆炸,当 53 名平民在伊朗死去,这些死亡被简化为战争报告中的一个数字,或者被包装成某种“必要的代价”。这种 meta violence(元暴力)的核心就在于:它将人类的身体降格为可消耗的工具,而将“摧毁一座桥”或“击沉一艘油轮”升华为一种政治意志的表达。
注意那个细节:特朗普在多佛空军基地参加葬礼,对着死掉的士兵说“这是必须做的”。这种典型的 masculine-centric narrative(男性中心叙事)将死亡英雄化,通过构建一种“为了某种宏大意义而牺牲”的共谋机制,让无数男性心甘情愿地成为这台暴力机器的零件。而在这场雄风勃勃的“存在性战争”中,最先被抹除主体性的永远是那些没有话语权的平民,尤其是被困在战火中的女性。
所谓的“文明”战争,不过是换了一套更高级的表达方式来实施原初的殖民暴力。当导弹划过红海,增加的不是安全,而是 Potential 与 Actual 之间那个名为“暴力”的差额。
Don't be fooled by political jargon like "Houthi militia," "Saudi tankers," or "Trump's vows." Beneath these grand narratives, the logic is brutally simple: a game of violence over the "right to interpret." The US secures its ticket to exert direct violence in Iran and its neighbors by defining who the "threat" is, while Iran and its allies attempt to reprice global oil and geopolitical influence at the structural layer.
The most sickening part is the closure of this weaponized narrative. Two decades ago, the US invaded Afghanistan using a script of "liberating women," only to leave them in deeper despair twenty years later. Now, as missiles explode near nuclear plants in Bushehr and 53 civilians die in Iran, these deaths are reduced to mere statistics in war reports or packaged as "necessary costs." This meta violence functions by degrading human bodies into disposable tools while elevating the act of "destroying a bridge" or "sinking a tanker" into an expression of political will.
Note the detail: Trump attending a funeral at Dover Air Force Base, telling dead soldiers that "it has to be done." This classic masculine-centric narrative heroizes death. By constructing a complicity mechanism where sacrifice for a "grand meaning" is praised, it convinces countless men to become cogs in this violent machine. In this "existential war" of testosterone, those whose subjectivity is erased first are always the voiceless civilians, especially the women trapped in the crossfire.
So-called "civilized" warfare is nothing more than a sophisticated expression of primal colonial violence. As missiles streak across the Red Sea, what increases is not security, but the gap between Potential and Actual—the very definition of violence.
