You might have seen a bunch of (((this))) going around on Twitter. What’s it about?
It’s basically a target. Neo-Nazis and other white supremacists are using it to target Jewish people (specifically) for online harassment, including violent threats and abuse. It’s useful because by default it’s extremely difficult to search for using standard tools – they had to put together a Google Chrome extension, which Google has now pulled – but who knows how many copies were already downloaded and are in use?
So one response is to flood their data streams with bad data, by having everybody put (((and))) around their usernames. I’ve done it, because Nazi punks fuck off is why.
Join me and change your username to add parentheses to defeat the neo-nazi hate mongers https://t.co/IEsDAgQ5qu

.@CliffStanford @brianteeman If everybody does it it wrecks the Nazi symbol's utility. If all Jews do it, it shows they're outnumbered.

Like (((Charlie))) says. Moreover, it allows (((people))) to at once claim a particular definition of their jewishness in context. Perhaps like that (((Boris Borcic: on naît tous les mètres du même monde))). Call it (((the badge of the internet diaspora))).
— be cautious with fighting evil, lording over evil are side-dependent scales of measuring evil that optimize for mutual dissonance. And mutual dissonance is of course an assumption in any case of fight.
