    It’s called “echoes,” and basically it’s like extreme emphasis.

    You imagine (((wow))) to be said in a very loud, booming voice.

    Nazis, for a while, were using this exclusively with jewish names because they’re incredibly subtle.

      I think it was because they got banned from everywhere for being racist assholes openly because of the evil global Jew conspiracy so they came up with all kinds of euphemisms and codes like this. But yeah, very subtle.

        I would hope so. I love making the nazi ineffective.

        But also, I distinctly remember learning about echoes and thinking “wow. that’s a useful trick. language sure is cool.” like a pico-second before learning about the racism and I’m still mad about it.
