21Cabbage, You have to have run into some exceptionally shitty parts of the Internet to understand that one, and this is the Internet we’re talking about.
SinningStromgald, Just Reddit will do.
21Cabbage, I’ve seen people explain that particular, shall we say, use of punctuation, on Reddit, but I never saw anybody earnestly do it. I think you’ve got to drop at least one level lower on the cultural tactfulness to get there.

I feel like this is one of their weirder comics
bratosch, Hate to be a pooper, but I don’t get it
ULS, That’s because it doesn’t make sense.
TimewornTraveler, would have been better if (((they))) said they’re a self-hating non-binary jew. I didn’t get that they were supposed to be racist against themselves
like the joke is also stupid and bad but on top of that the execution is terrible
FIST_FILLET, yeah, it seems like the author just forgot that the word “antisemite” exists and went with a more confusing route
Ephera, (edited ) The triple parentheses are a racist dogwhistle to point out Jewish folks: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Triple_parentheses
And I guess, because the person on the right is a racist, when they’re talking about themselves (a Jew), they use those triple parentheses…
BarrelAgedBoredom, Additional context: when the triple parentheses first came into use it was used in the conspiracy theory sort of way so it was usually used for they and them
Example: (((they))) are indoctrinating our children
Ephera, Wow, there is far too many layers to this terrible joke…
DragonTypeWyvern, (edited ) Yeah it doesn’t quite land because they don’t specify they’re self hating so even when the reader is clued in they’re still left a bit perplexed.
Absolutely should have been “I’m a non-binary Jewish anti-semite.”
ICastFist, 
I prefer excessive parentheses to be programmers’ jokes about LISP-like languages, thanks
