    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Triple_parentheses

    The editors of The Right Stuff explained that the use of an echo, represented in text using triple parentheses, was an internal meme meant to symbolize an opinion that the actions of Jews in the past cause their names to “echo throughout history”.

      Confusing… that sounds positive. We should remember the atrocities committed against them. Funny how it was flipped to mean something bad.

      IMO, it should be reclaimed. Just like “slut”, “queer” and other words are being reclaimed in a positive sense.

        I’ve seen a few people with parenthesis around their names, on sites like Twitter. Outside of extremist websites, I don’t think people take the triple parentheses that seriously anymore
