Just trying to survive, and god forbid thrive, out here

I didn’t say I wanted to do it for work. I just would rather be doing it. Even in the case it made me money it wouldn’t be enough.

Why would I willingly engage a troll? Are you insane?

My definition of authoritianism is the definition of authoritarianism.

Explain why you can’t read that? You’re trolling.

Not the definition but an historical definition.

A philosophical movement of the 1700s that emphasized the use of reason to scrutinize previously accepted doctrines and traditions and that brought about many humanitarian reforms.
