Are we sure the civil war isn’t being caused by sychophants like PG himself cozying up to the alt-right while maintaining considerable power over online discourse?

Maybe these are the """hard questions"""[0] that need to be asked, as opposed to calling for a return to the Jim Crow era.

You could easily "turn off" Twitter.

And in your second link, PG is talked about briefly in the comments halfway down... I'm still not making the connection here
