I Didn’t Know She’s Been Deported...

When he was a little boy, Sam Vimes had thought that the very rich ate off gold plates and lived in marble houses.    He’d learned something new: the very very rich could afford to be poor. Sybil Ramkin lived in the kind of poverty that was only available to the very rich, a poverty approached from the other side. Women who were merely well-off saved up and bought dresses made of silk edged with lace and pearls, but Lady Ramkin was so rich she could afford to stomp around the place in rubber boots and a tweed skirt that had belonged to her mother. She was so rich she could afford to live on biscuits and cheese sandwiches. She was so rich she lived in three rooms in a thirty-four-roomed mansion; the rest of them were full of very expensive and very old furniture, covered in dust sheets.    The reason that the rich were so rich, Vimes reasoned, was because they managed to spend less money.      Take boots, for example. He earned thirty-eight dollars a month plus allowances. A really good pair of leather boots cost fifty dollars. But an affordable pair of boots, which were sort of OK for a season or two and then leaked like hell when the cardboard gave out, cost about ten dollars. Those were the kind of boots Vimes always bought, and wore until the soles were so thin that he could tell where he was in Ankh-Morpork on a foggy night by the feel of the cobbles.     But the thing was that good boots lasted for years and years. A man who could afford fifty dollars had a pair of boots that’d still be keeping his feet dry in ten years’ time, while a poor man who could only afford cheap boots would have spent a hundred dollars on boots in the same time and would still have wet feet.     This was the Captain Samuel Vimes “Boots” theory of socioeconomic unfairness.

Idée de JdR (pitch)

2015: les USA n'ont pas pris part à la seconde guerre mondiale, le débarquement n'a pas eu lieu. Épuisée, l'Angleterre a rendue les armes, à la suite de quoi l'étreinte Nazi a étouffé toutes les poches de résistance en Europe. Contraints de fuir, des centaines de français trouvent refuge dans les colonies.

Pendant plus de 60 ans, le IIIème Reich s'est assoupi sur ses victoires passées. Mais l'appétit dévorant de ce géant autoritaire et militariste n'est jamais rassasié. Alors que ses yeux gourmands se tournent vers les restes de ses ennemis d'antan, les descendants des réfugiés de la guerre, craignent de revivre l'Horreur une fois de plus... Lorsque rafles, censures et raids anti-libertaires s'abattent à nouveau sur le Monde, le feu d'une révolte sans précédent s'allume... Le laisserez vous s'éteindre, ou brûlez vous de ce feu intense qui abat les dictatures?

Il y a sans doute pas mal d'objections historiques à apporter à ce pitch de base, mais l'idée m'a bien plus. Apparemment, je suis pas le seul, vu que j'ai déjà un joueur et deux joueuses qui se sont manifestés!

Hi there, have you ever heard the Gospel? If you haven’t, here it is: We have all sinned and deserve God's judgment. God, the Father, sent His only begotten Son to satisfy that judgment for those who believe in Him. Jesus, who lived a sinless life, loves us so much that He died for our sins, taking the punishment that we deserve, was buried, and rose from the dead, thus defeating death for us. Check out "A Call for An Uprising" on YouTube, it'll help you in your awakening process. God bless you

Ben Affleck speaks about Islamophobia X

Tu viens d’entendre un nouveau mot ou une nouvelle expression créée par un groupe de personnes marginalisées, et tu as très envie de t’en moquer ou de pointer du doigt l’atroce danger que ces quelques syllabes font courir au monde-tel-que-nous-le-connaissons.

Tu cherches donc une façon simple et efficace de transmettre ton mépris et/ou ton angoisse.

Alors évidemment, tu utilises le mot “novlangue”.

Parce que même les gens qui n’ont pas lu 1984 savent que la “novlangue”, ça fout les jetons.

Peut-être que toi-même, tu as lu 1984, y a longtemps, et la novlangue, ça t’avait bien foutu les boules mais tu sais trop plus pourquoi. Apparemment tout ce dont tu te souviens, c’est que c’était une nouvelle forme de langue et ça permettait au gouvernement très vilain de faire du mal au cerveau des gens, donc le parallèle te semble évident - même si, dans la vraie vie, c’est pas forcément le gouvernement très vilain qui utilise ce ou ces mots qui te révulsent, mais bon c’est tout pareil parce que les féministes islamogauchistes du LGBT contrôlent déjà quasiment le monde alors on n’est pas à ça près.

Ce que tu as un peu oublié, c’est que, dans 1984, la novlangue n’était pas l’enrichissement du langage.

C’était un appauvrissement.

C’était ça qui foutait les jetons en fait. C’était une façon contrôlée de faire disparaître les nuances du langage. L’idée était qu’en privant les gens de mots décrivant la différence, on les empêchait de concevoir la différence, et par conséquence, de la vivre.

Donc en fait, quand tu te moques de personnes qui, pour lutter contre des structures oppressives, reprennent, détournent, créent et adaptent des mots, repensent la syntaxe et s’approprient leur propre langage, c’est toi qui défends une langue plus pauvre, une langue qui se conforme à ce que toi, tu trouves acceptable.
