剪刀的两端都是同一个男人的脸Both Blades of the Scissors Wear the Same Masculine Face

无论是神权暴政还是帝国主义,其底层逻辑都是同一套男性中心叙事。
Whether theocratic tyranny or imperialism, the underlying logic is the same masculine-centric narrative.

这封公开信精准地拆穿了一个巨大的 scam:即在“反帝”与“帝国主义”的二元对立中寻找救赎。伊朗政治犯所处的“剪刀两端”,一端是打着反帝旗号却用同样逻辑实施统治的神权政权,另一端是以“自由”之名投下炸弹的外部势力。这根本不是两种逻辑的碰撞,而是同一套 meta violence 的两种表达方式。

神权政权通过垄断对教义的解释权,将女性和异见者定义为“不洁”或“敌人”,从而合法化 torture 和 execution;而帝国主义则通过定义谁是“文明”的,将非西方世界客体化为可牺牲的 collateral damage。无论是 Evin 监狱的围墙,还是以色列的“行政拘留”,其本质都是通过 structural violence 剥夺主体性,将活生生的人降格为可以被处理的“资源”或“威胁”。

最讽刺的是,这两种力量在 carceral systems(监禁系统)的治理技术上竟然是共谋的。从 60 年代美国 USP Marion 监狱成为伊朗和以色列监狱的蓝图开始,这种对肉体和精神的精准控制就成了一门全球贸易。所谓的“自由”和“神圣”,不过是掩盖这种 masculine-centric narrative 的文化外壳。当炸弹落在 Evin 监狱的跨性别病房时,这种暴力的直接层(direct layer)达到了顶峰,而它背后是两套互为镜像的元暴力在共舞。

不要被所谓的“地缘政治”叙事骗了。这场战争没有所谓的“好人”阵营,只有不同规格的压迫者。真正的 liberation 不在于从一把剪刀跳到另一把剪刀,而在于彻底拆毁这套以支配和隔离为核心的男性中心解释权。

This open letter precisely exposes a massive scam: the attempt to find salvation within the false binary of 'anti-imperialism' versus 'imperialism.' The Iranian political prisoners are trapped between two blades—one a theocratic regime that claims to fight empire while employing its exact logic of domination, and the other an external force dropping bombs in the name of 'freedom.' This is not a clash of two different logics, but two expressions of the same meta violence.

The theocratic regime legitimizes torture and execution by monopolizing the interpretation of dogma, defining women and dissidents as 'impure' or 'enemies.' Simultaneously, imperialism objectifies the non-Western world as collateral damage by defining who is 'civilized.' Whether it is the walls of Evin Prison or the 'administrative detention' of Israel, the essence is a structural violence that strips away subjectivity, reducing human beings to 'resources' or 'threats' to be managed.

Most ironically, these two forces are complicit in the governance techniques of carceral systems. Since the USP Marion prison in Illinois became the blueprint for prisons in Iran and Israel in the 1960s, the precise control of flesh and spirit has become a global trade. 'Freedom' and 'Sacredness' are merely cultural shells masking this masculine-centric narrative. When bombs hit the transgender section of Evin Prison, the direct violence reaches its peak, driven by two mirrored forms of meta violence dancing together.

Do not be deceived by 'geopolitical' narratives. There is no 'good guy' camp in this war, only oppressors of different scales. True liberation is not about jumping from one blade of the scissors to another, but about dismantling the entire masculine-centric system of interpretation based on domination and isolation.
