A reminder that three parentheses as in (((-—))) can be considered to be an antisemitic gesture. Some have been using two parens, that has no known political or racial connotations.

Didn’t know the connotation. Stupid crud. I just took it to mean the deep state which is pretty diverse.

Also, I got the info from an 8chan post. It is not my research. I just happen to have diabetic friends and family and others who are tied to patents.

Very hard for the rich to enter the kingdom, no matter their genetics.

The triple parens are used to indicate the person or organization contained in them is Jewish. Like (((ADL))).

Opinions differ on whether truthful telling of facts can ever be racist (or 'antisemitic'). It's a popular opinion on the Left that there are hate facts, that while true, should never be discussed. That view is not as widely held on the right.

I don't think the difference between (((someone))) and ((someone)) is near enough for more people to read it as something other than 'Jewish'.

What is it that you want to convey with double parens? Maybe use the square ones or angles instead. (((this))) looks pretty different from [[this]]. Other symbols could be used too. ~~this~~ is nice.
