free-urban-agenda-It's-okay-to-hit-a-naziIs it okay to hit a Nazi?
Jaime Rubio Hancock · K.O books. · 2019
Jaime Rubio combines the brainy with the absurd (a lo Monty Python) in his reflections on veganism, nationalisms, the limits of humor or the change of nomenclature in streets dedicated to Francoism. Not taking himself seriously at all, is capable of dealing with topics as high as Kantian morality in the form of dialogue jokes on Twitter and, the point is that, what it says, not a hair of nonsense. S.M.
