 The Antichrist is everywhere. Evil and chaos are the work of the devil who inevitably tends to deceive people.

 It is a mad book, at times absurd, prophetic and pessimistic, indignant and nihilistic, to be read in 'altered' mode because two drunks have no trouble understanding each other.

 The male biped is a slave to sex: we are genuinely much closer to our millennial relatives than women, and this puts us in a situation of imbalance for a mere matter of demand and supply.

 The book is [...] a text full of childish stereotypes to describe the male counterpart, pregnant with Taliban feminism, radical characterization dividing men and women into macro categories without caring at all about the complexity.

 "The only thing worse than a Michael Bay film is a film trying to be like a Michael Bay film, and failing even at that."
