【视频/观察者网专栏作者 沈逸】 本期《逸语道破》我们来聊聊"斩杀线"。从网络上流传甚广的《西雅图冰雨夜》开始，我看了网友"牢A"关于"斩杀线"的系列视频，"掉san"之后需要恢复一 下。在恢复过程中，我重组了一下记忆。其实，我们不应该对"斩杀线"在美国的存在感到意外。真正值得思考的命题是：为什么在2025年，"斩杀线"破圈成 为了一个热词、一种文化现象，引发了各方的关注？ 我先把结论放在前面。"斩杀线"让中国网民重新认识了"什么叫资本主义"——美国的资本主义真正的特征，就是有"斩杀线"的存在。在"斩杀线"这个问题 上，中外对比最强烈的，不是美国有"斩杀线"，而是美国对于"斩杀线"这个问题的态度。 大家在网站上看到，那些"精美"出来，非常理直气壮、顺理成章地对"斩杀线"进行辩护，告诉你，你这样说是不准确的，"斩杀线"没有这么高或没有这么 低，它实际是在哪个位置。而这些被"斩杀"的人，他也都是有各种各样的因素和理由的…… 换句话说，"斩杀线"其实就是美国的一个组成部分。为什么？因为那就叫做资本主义。 资本主义对应的生产方式种，围绕生产关系的所有制度设计是建立在资本私有制基础之上的。所有的政策制定的出发点，是优先 ...

【文/观察者网专栏作者 周德宇】 通过"牢A"的出圈，想必今年很多人都了解到了美国西雅图这个城市中，底层生活的悲惨一面。想要理 解为什么西雅图这样一个看似经济发达科技先进的城市，底层会有这样的遭遇，我们可以从一个词谈 起，就是"士绅化"（gentrification），毕竟西雅图就是美国"士绅化"问题最严重的城市之一。 在美国前 可能这位读者想的是我国城市发展的时候，被拆迁的人会领到补偿款，所以他觉得士绅化导致流离失所 的人都是活该——怎么说呢，这就是文化差异了，你从中国人的常识角度，是不可能理解美国在发生什 么的。 士绅化的过程，正如资本主义的过程一样，往往是伴随着无形甚至有形的暴力的。看不见的手自然就不 用说了，对于大部分没有积蓄的美国人来说，他们完全无法应对生活成本的上涨。而对于本来就处于租 金最低廉区域的穷人来说，士绅化带来的房租增长往往意味着他们直接没有任何容身之处，连消费降级 的希望都没有。至于补偿款？那是给地主的，跟你们普通人有什么关系？ 100个大城市中，西雅图市的士绅化程度排在第三位 图自《西雅图时报》 士绅化是什么意思呢？是一个街区吸引更多的资本和人才流入的过程，是一个街区减少犯罪增加便利 ...
