A new symbol for antisemitism?
There is no end to what can upset people
Just days after Google pulled a Chrome extension known as the "Coincidence Detector," the symbol used by white nationalists to target Jewish people online has been labeled hate speech. The Anti-Defamation League (ADL) announced today that the triple parentheses, or (((echo))) symbol, would be added to its "Hate on Display" online database.
"The echo symbol is the online equivalent of tagging a building with anti-Semitic graffiti or taunting someone verbally," said Jonathan A. Greenblatt, ADL CEO, in the official statement. "We at ADL take this manifestation of online hate seriously, and that’s why we’re adding this symbol to our database and working with our partners in the tech industry to investigate this phenomenon more deeply."

I had not heard about that.
Whining liberals with their irritating high pitched voices that grate on your nerves
Triple parentheses merely denote a religious person of any faith, including atheism, such as (((Pope Francis))), (((Recep Tayyip Erdogan))), (((Benjamin Netanyahu))), (((Richard Dawkins))) or (((Ali Khamenei))). As such, I think everyone should feel free to use them when talking about such people.
I don't get it.
OH LISTEN TO THE LIBERAL GO WHINE,WHINE,WHINE, THEIR NEVER EVER FEELING FINE
