Breve disquisición sobre todos estos malditos Nazis

Son pocos, pero hacen ruido. No están muy organizados – todavía – pero joden. Nuestra República, penoso es admitirlo, está infestada de Nazis.

Los Nazis no son dominicanos. Los Nazis son Nazis. Pertenecen a un país sin territorio, limítrofe de la estupidez. Sus fronteras son la ignorancia y la necedad. Su idioma es el racismo y la exclusión. Su pasaporte es la violencia. Su moneda es la crueldad.

Quotes by Pedro Cabiya (?)

“And so we issue a warning to the diligent reader, the one who will read in rigorous compliance with the page numbers: Your meticulousness and zeal will get you nowhere, for even following that path you will wind up in chaos. And chaos is a dark well where I cannot guarantee you'll find any comforting notions.”
