Honestly, I think people are (((sick))) of the (((parentheses))).

Also, you're supposed to use them to mark jewish names, but if you can't pick a jewish name out from a smattering of German and Eastern European names, you're probably not up to speed enough to help in the struggle.

So why are you attacking a useful meme that can show things are not as they seem at face value. Tribalist 'synagogue of Satan' influence masked as globalism is pervasive. Why are you trying to hide the wizard.

I'm not attacking anything. OP wondered why there were downvoats without comments.

My suggestion is that this is not a useful meme. In fact, I'd say few memes are useful because they're reductionist and exclusionary. They're funny for your friends, sure. If you look through my posting history, I've even tried to make a joke with the parentheses. However, they're not winning any arguments or rallying a cause. Which would you rather do: change the world or swap jokes with people you'll never meet? My last few years around "forbidden" speech has convinced me that -- right now -- it's the latter.

I'll grant you the "tribalist", but you done goofed on the "Synagogue of Satan". That's Carr's anti-Papist slam. So, you'd like to promote the parentheses, but you've been kept ignorant of your own history? I might go round and round with you about whether the tribalism preceded the globalism, or vice-versa, but then I'd like to think we're on the same page. I mean, I basically had that conversation earlier this morning.

I like "hide the wizard" but I assure you I'm not. You're free not to believe that. I would suggest that any attempt to pull back the veil on the Frankfort School would further your ends much more than defending the parentheses.
