Is ((( ))) really an evil a ti jew thing, or is it made up? I hope is made up, cuz that's weird.

It's called "echoes," and basically it's like extreme emphasis.

You imagine (((wow))) to be said in a very loud, booming voice.

Nazis, for a while, were using this exclusively with jewish names because they're incredibly subtle.

I think it was because they got banned from everywhere ~~for being racist assholes openly~~ because of the evil global Jew conspiracy so they came up with all kinds of euphemisms and codes like this. But yeah, very subtle.

I've heard about it for a while but didn't look it up until now. The parentheses represent echoes, and putting a Jewish person's surname in-between the parentheses symbolizes how the historic actions of Jews caused their surnames to "echo throughout history" (feel free to fact-check the source, I'm not going to)

also apparently i somehow lost the ability to link to a specific part of a website
