"((( )))"? I thought that was a crowd saying something e.g "((( that's what she said )))". Or being a really fat dude. I remember :-))) being a smiley with a triple chin.

((( What does this mean to some people now? )))

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.

Wat?

((( Google )))

Jews Google? Jews say Google? Google for Jews? Google by Jews? Google owns Jews? Google is owned by Jews? Google likes Jews?

How is that supposed to be interpreted?

It's a symptom of a Lisp programmer on meth.

Imagine being an alien and receiving a message from earth with LISP code. The last 3MB would just be brackets.

((())) indicates that someone is allegedly Jewish. Sometimes they use )))((( for their own names to imply that they're surrounded by Jews.
