A man is running through the streets of Moscow yelling "Brezhnev is an idiot, Brezhnev is an idiot." The man is promptly arrested. He is put on trial and sentenced to 25 years in prison. He got 10 years for insulting the General Secretary and 15 years for revealing a state secret.
Je ne sais pas comment les gens supportent Instagram. J'ai l'impression qu'on vous y propose encore plus de trucs républicains ou fachos que sur X. C'est la 5e fois que je demande à ne plus recevoir du JD Vance ou du Melania.

L'article sur Percival Everett appelle son style post-moderne une "Satire Ménippée", ce qui est vrai par la subversion des genres mais le ton sarcastique si sombre est plus "satire juvénalienne". Le Puritanisme américain donne + de désespoir que le flegme anglais.

There are three major types of satire, each shaping tone and intent in a different way: Horatian, Juvenalian, and Minippean.
Knowing which one you’re using helps keep your story focused.
Type 2: Juvenalian
Sharper, darker, confronts bigger issues head-on.
Think: Parasite and Don't Look Up
Type 3: Menippean
Targets ideas and worldviews; often surreal or ensemble-driven.
Examples include Barbie & Dr. Strangelove
Type 1: Horatian
Warm, playful, gently pokes fun.
Think: Parks & Rec
