I didn't know that.

I don't see any any alt-right or anti-semitic message in the meme, even hidden.

I really can't tell what the M means.

Maybe it is the meme creator's signature? Like a coded wink? Maybe it means nothing. It is strange though as it serves what point in being there?

I have found it too and was going to post it.

I'll pay attention from now.

For what concerns the meme, I have absolutely no idea.

On one hand, I like the meme for what it stands. On the other, that M in triple parentheses, bothers me for what it means.

I'd like to get an advice from DUers :

Should I delete the thread ?

They put ((())) around everything as a "cultural appropriation" of the anti-semitism, which turns it on it's head.

So who knows.

I am for leaving it up because the meat of it is so on point.
