Fascist and Nazi totalitarianism do not occur because a Hitler or Mussolini decides to seize power. When a nation is psychologically and spiritually empty, totalitarianism comes in to the fill the vacuum; and the people sell their freedom as a necessity for getting rid of the anxiety which is too great to bear any longer.

 On Sunday, Christian hate-preacher Dillon Awes said that the government should execute every gay person. "They should be lined up against the wall and shot in the back of the head! That's what God teaches. That's what the Bible says."

"Whenever we read the obscene stories, the voluptuous debaucheries, the cruel and torturous executions, the unrelenting vindictiveness, with which more than half the Bible is filled, it would be more consistent that we called it the word of a demon, than the Word of God. It is a history of wickedness, that has served to corrupt and brutalize mankind." Thomas Paine, The Age of Reason

 The cryptocurrency market isn't pretty right now. Billions of dollars in crypto wealth has been vaporized, sending shockwaves throughout the whole market. 

 Luna coin's price fell from $116 in April to just a penny on Thursday. Its marketcap now stands at $641 million, down from a peak of over $40 billion. 

The value of luna tokens has almost completely disappeared: After reaching a high of just under $120 in April, luna's current price is 19 cents. At the moment, a number of stablecoins -- specifically terraUSD and tether -- are making headlines for their respective failures to deliver stability. Terra has now lost nearly 100% of its value and tether, the largest and most popular stablecoin, is showing signs of fragility. 

"In terms of cryptocurrencies, generally, I can say almost with certainty that they will come to a bad ending.” – Warren Buffett, legendary investor
