Master. MICHEL VALENTINO








“FINALLY WE ARE LIVING NOW IN A SOCIETY THAT IS A COMBINATION OF WHAT HUXLEY FORESAW IN HIS “BRAVE NEW WORLD“ AND ORWELL IN HIS “1984“.
WE ARE CAUGHT IN A STREAM OF CONSTANT PROPAGANDA AND WE ARE UNDER TOTAL SURVEILLANCE.
THIS IS THE AGE OF MATERIALISM, CONSUMERISM AND DECADENCE.
OUR HEROES ARE IDIOTS LIKE TRASH-PRINCESS PARIS HILTON, IN THEIR SAD 15 MINUTES OF FAME. CHILDREN ARE SHOOTING OTHER CHILDREN IN SCHOOLS BEFORE THEY KILL THEMSELVES AND IN OTHER PARTS OF THE WORLD THEY BLOW THEMSELVES UP IN THE MIDDLE OF CROWDS.
DOSEN´T THAT LOOK LIKE THE END OF A CIVILIZATION, THE SECOND FALL OF ROME?“
