I have read the Heartiste comments for a while, and I had no idea why people kept putting (((parentheses))) around various words. Turns out it was a little inside joke.
Of course the media blames Trump.

Google has removed the controversial browser extension called “Coincidence Detector” that flagged Jewish names, civil liberties groups, and others considered to have anti-White nationalist views. The Chrome plugin, which has lurked in Google’s app store for about five months, relied on a user-generated list of names that would then be highlighted on any given webpage.
White nationalist sentiments have increased since the start of the 2016 presidential campaign last year. Google searches of terms such as “alt-right, “”white genocide,” “pro-white,” and “black on white crime” have upticked significantly since 2013 with large spikes in 2015, according to a ThinkProgress analysis.
That surge of interest in white nationalism has been partially attributed to presumed-Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump’s campaign. Trump supporters have been reported to sling anti-Semitic remarks at Jewish journalists online. Trump hasn’t made blatantly anti-Semitic comments but has used Jewish stereotypes and coded language that typically implies a racial, ethnic, or sexist bias without overtly invoking a particular stance.

If only you knew how bad things really are.
