Secret? I don't think it'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't know if it's fake or not. https://i.imgur.com/A6aJYs7.png What's also funny is how the article insists on ((())) being designed and engineered by evil masterminds to be unsearchable, when it's just incidental.

> I follow lots of white nationalists

Why?

I... don't really see why what you attached is funny? Not because of the offensive topic but just because... there's no humour there?

So, what would happen if say, trolls read this and started using the symbol around every random username in sight? Because that'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.

Wouldn't this make a really easy target for the likes of 4chan?

I wonder if there's a way to counter/reclaim this -- put your own name in ((()))?

Seriously, are they flocking to tweets based off white nationalists they follow or are they searching for anything with "((("? Either way, I'm curious if there's a way to just make it irrelevant.

Seemed to me like it was only spreading through already established circles because of the lack of ability to search for it. Racists in those circles saw someone tweet with that punctuation and just ganged on the person mentioned in the tweet, knowing they were Jewish without it being directly stated.

It occurs to me that the correct "punishment" 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.

EDIT: "I'm so sorry, I've been such a schmuck," the ex-neonazi tearfully confesses as his pretty Jewish girlfriend hugs him and kisses him on the cheek.

I like that he deleted his comment that said "I am a white nationalist".

The Venn diagram of the AltRight and 4chan's /pol/ board (the only board that would care about ((()))) is a circle inside of a circle so I don't think it will make any difference.
