It's shocking to see this being normalized on HN. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Triple_parentheses

I'm hoping the ggp did not intend for it to mean that, in good faith. It's probably a mistaken interpretation.

Thanks for writing this, I didn't. I knew ((())) had right wing origins, but I didn't know the history of it regarding Jewish names.

In my comment, I described that some business owners who fund right wing politicians feel that there is a globalist conspiracy to cut into their biz profit margins, by penalizing carbon waste.

Hence, they feel (((regulation))) is a conspiracy against their personal business empires.

This is all my analysis. It is not to say that I believe people who believe in regulations are Jewish, and that they should be penalized for this.

So I am upset that people downvoted me, if they thought I am an anti-semite

I don't think "regulate" is a Jewish name.

The type of person that uses those parantheses usually thinks that there is a global cabal of Jews running the world, so when he says (((regulate))) he's insinuating some plot by the 'globalists' to further their own aims.

I am insinuating that some of the largest producers of carbon waste feel that there is a Jewish Globalist conspiracy to affect their profit margins.

To confirm this, you could just look at the politicians they fund. Hint, they aren't pro-Globalism.

So I don't appreciate that people are downvoting me for using ((())) when I was using it to describe someone's views, not my own

HN is not the place to ever use incendiary language or innuendo, regardless of who's views are being described. It's hard enough having civil, constructive discourse in an online forum. To purposefully inject such language makes it impossible.

Personally I disagree with you, not because I am Jewish or anti-semitic, but because there is no need to censor myself when something is such a seriously important issue.

When dealing with politics, people signal who they are based on what actions they actually do. When you research people who are anti-regulation, you may notice some trends.

Since you believe in censoring my discussion of these types of people, the reader will need to google this elsewhere, since apparently to satisfy you, I must not inject one word of potentially controversial information that might offend even just one person

I think you misunderstand me. I am not arguing that you should censor what you say; I'm arguing that you should take extra care in how you present your argument. (Or, more simply, it's not what you say, it's how you say it.) The HN community strongly values civility and substantive discourse. To discuss difficult, contentious topics requires extra effort to ensure that forward progress is made.

If that level of restraint doesn't interest you, HN might not be the place you want to discuss these types of topics. Regardless of your position, HN members will downvote and flag uncivil and flamewar inciting language.

Thank you, I can respect this! I will stress once more, that specific words or phrases that are uncivil or flamewar inciting are difficult to assess beforehand, in my opinion.

one day it will be ((())), the next day, someone may be offended that someone is criticizing their company for a product failure, such as at Samsung. This stifled debate of any kind, in my opinion, because there will always be someone who stands to lose something and therefore be offended by a debate that affects their vested interests negatively

If this is something you're concerned about, I suggest taking some time away from commenting on contentious issues (even those you may only suspect are contentious) until you get a better understanding of HN community standards and behavior. For example, if you're going be offended if people downvote your comments and continue to comment on being downvoted, you're going against community guidelines and likely going to attract even more downvotes.
