How this became a secret neo-Nazi symbol of anti-Semitism

Neo-Nazis, anti-Semites and white nationalists have begun using three sets of parentheses encasing a Jewish surname — for instance, (((Fleishman))) — to identify and target Jews for harassment on blogs and major social media sites like Twitter. 

The origins of the symbol ((())) can be traced to a hardcore, right-wing podcast called The Daily Shoah in 2014. It’s known as an “echo” in the anti-Semitic corners of the alt-right. Some use the symbol to mock Jews; others seek to expose supposed Jewish collusion in controlling media or politics. All use it to put a target on their heads. 

And how it evades search results makes it even more dangerous.

i don’t like how this article mystifies the latest in a long line of nazi codewords/symbols but it’s good to stay up on the latest fascist memes.
