A Symbol Neo-Nazis Use to Target Jews Online

Please excuse my naïveté, and I do not share the opinions of the neo-nazis, but isn&#x27;t it part of free speech to able to use these symbols and to be prejudiced?<p>Edit: My follow-up question: Why then is it Twitter&#x27;s responsibility to censor such speech?

A guy I went to high school with used to take a pause and say &quot;Jewish&quot; loudly after any Jewish name he&#x27;d read&#x2F;say.<p>Seriously. Fucking Catholic school.

Didn&#x27;t ((())) use to mean &quot;hugs&quot; in 90s IM slang? How sweet of them.

I wonder if there&#x27;s a way to counter&#x2F;reclaim this -- put your own name in ((()))?

When I first saw the ((( ))) meme, it was being used something along the lines of (((triggered))), and I thought it was shorthand for a trigger warning.<p>Unfortunate to learn how it&#x27;s used; I thought it was really clever at the time.

Holy shit, I am constantly amazed that people like this know how to use computers. Can we bring the internet back to being a technocratic meritocracy with only people who share my biases and opinions, please?

It occurs to me that the correct &quot;punishment&quot; for a hate crime is to force the person to live in a loving, caring community of the hated group until one day they break down and cry and want to hug and apologize to everyone in the community.<p>EDIT: &quot;I&#x27;m so sorry, I&#x27;ve been such a schmuck,&quot; the ex-neonazi tearfully confesses as his pretty Jewish girlfriend hugs him and kisses him on the cheek.

So, what would happen if say, trolls read this and started using the symbol around every random username in sight? Because that&#x27;s exactly what some people are gonna do after reading articles like this, and it makes me wonder what the crossfire would inevitably look like.<p>Wouldn&#x27;t this make a really easy target for the likes of 4chan?

The only problem after this is somebody who gets criticized then pulls the race&#x2F;ethnic&#x2F;religion card and suddenly we&#x27;re all supposed to then set our sights on ruining the life a person being critical, for whatever reason, subjectively insulting or not. Then again who would EVER hide behind their so called protected class, play victim to hurt others. Oh wait, It only happens every day.<p>We even see it on here. Mods have a hard job, BUT they also are subjective when it comes to who they claim is ranting off topic vs those making profound points.<p>The founding fathers knew all of this quite well, which is why we have &quot;Congress shall make <i>no</i> law ... abridging the freedom of speech&quot;<p>Private companies can do all they want to make a safe space, but then we usher in the era of the whirlpool of &#x27;hurt feelings&#x27; == physical violence. Which really just weakens people, it robs them of their own capability. And as a result of this safe spaces are really just illusions. By trying to cleanse they actually become impure.<p>Oh well. I&#x27;ll be for whatever platform supplants the draconian ones. It will be the selling points.

&lt;Neo-Nazis, anti-Semites and white nationalists have begun using <i>three</i> sets of parentheses... &quot;Hello <i>((Weisman))</i>&quot; it began after Weisman tweeted a Washington Post article...&gt;<p>Apparently, neither the alleged practitioners nor the media can differentiate three from two.

I&#x27;ve actually not heard about this. It&#x27;s a shame &quot;alt-right&quot; became synonymous with bigot, white nationalist, etc.<p>The underlying political philosophy is sound, but for some reason the crowd it attracts are essentially losers (in a very specific economic sense).

Does this mean that I can use this to call upon a band of strangers to bully (or whatever it is they do) someone of my choosing?

This article focuses a lot on how to search twitter for the echo which probably won&#x27;t help reduce harassment.

BTW, does this mean that (((Jesus))) must be wrapped accordingly, too?

Lisp is anti-semitic.<p>Who knew?

Secret? I don&#x27;t think it&#x27;s secret anymore. I follow lots of white nationalists and I have seen it for months already. This one was particularly funny, although I don&#x27;t know if it&#x27;s fake or not. <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;i.imgur.com&#x2F;A6aJYs7.png" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;i.imgur.com&#x2F;A6aJYs7.png</a><p>What&#x27;s also funny is how the article insists on ((())) being designed and engineered by evil masterminds to be unsearchable, when it&#x27;s just incidental.

The only commentable thing in this blatant clickbait is that yianopoulos had his verified sign taken back (!) for non-hate speech, an act for which he has protested vehemently.
