>So, you are saying that I stead of saying he was a rat that was of particular concern because he was both Jewish and involved in anti-anti-Semitism action, No

>So, you are saying that I stead of saying he was a rat that was of particular concern because he was both Jewish and involved in anti-anti-Semitism action, No, I am saying that since he uses 7 parentheses, the authors intended message probably has nothing to do with the anti-semitic triple parentheses. "Not intended as anti-semitism" is not the same as "intended as anti-anti-semitism." Intention and negation do not commute... He simply always incorrectly interpreted the anti-semitic banter of others (the triple parentheses) as simply referring to Judaism, without any anti-semitic connotation... Not sure what is so hard to grasp here?

> No, I am saying that since he uses 7 parentheses, the authors intended message probably has nothing to do with the anti-semitic triple parentheses. My point is thst even if you accept that implausible interpretation of the cluster of parentheses—that the “((()))) issue” phrase refers to some Menorah-related issue and not the controversy over a particular brand of online anti-Semitism—the pair of tweets is still clearly anti-Semitic (but also considerably more bizarre.) Heck, it's still anti-Semitic if you remove the reference to an issue involving whatever it is that the parens signify so that the pair of tweets becomes just “He’s always ben a rat. But he’s jewish.” It's not the parens that are the issue, though they do confirm the message of the rest of the text.

  I fully agree with the rat part being highly reminescent of the depiction of Jews in interbellum & WWII Nazi propaganda!

That 7 parenthesis mean nothing but adding an extra one by mistake or even some stupid anti-xss script doing that for you is a much more likely explanation. Honestly a fresh account with low karma trying to push some conspiracy theory on this is also suspect as hell.

  please look at my other comments on other threads, you probably won't agree with my unpopular viewpoints (i.e. I am for mass surveillance, but only a decentralized one) I can assure you I am not some anti-semitic sockpuppet ok?

    The problem is that you are jumping to conclusions that make absolutely no sense, define common sense, and require taking the gold in mental gymnastics and you are repeating the same argument in multiple posts on this thread. No one is using ((()))) to describe an ASCI Menorah, and even if they did it makes no sense, there are no Menorah issues. On the other hand ((())) Is a symbol used by the alt-right and white-supremacist to define any subject as "Jewish" this can be a place, a person, an event a cause or w/e. Adding an extra ) is easy by simply fat fingering it So yes you do look like an anti-semitic sockpuppet to me, or at least someone that has a clear agenda in gaslighting this issue simply because of the tenacity that you push this "theory" with and the fact that you clearly ignore Ockham's razor.

      I never said I interpreted ((()))) as "Menorah issue", you keep repeating this twisting of my words, you might as well claim I keep insisting it means "ASCII-art Menorah issue"... I sincerely interpreted it as ASCII art conveying simply "Jewish" and hence "Jewish issue". I do NOT claim my interpretation is representative of how the majority interprets it. I simply faithfully report my sample size 1 experience of honestly interpreting it as a Menorah signifying "Jewish"... I just had an instant flashback to highschool class -more than 15 years ago- on different world religions, where symbols of different religionns were discussed... as I said I even incorrectly thought the Jewish name was candelabra...
