The three brackets around Twitter handles came originally from alt-right antisemites who used it to identify Jews. Once this was exposed, Jews and other anti-racists started using it to defy the neo-Nazis and make fun of them. That's what Julian Assange is referring to here (assuming he's in control of the Wikileaks Twitter account).
Pfeffer's reply to Assange's tweet, with two tweets from Assange's Neo-Nazi fanboys.
Jews are often accused of being "clannish" and I take "tribalist" to be a synonym for Jews.
This pissed Assange off and he replied:
I guess this means that anyone who criticizes Assange and Wikileaks, especially with the charge that they now appear to be in the pockets of the Russian government, can't really be anti-racists, especially if they are Jews with black-rim glasses (LOL!).
What makes you think Assange runs the Wikileaks Twitter account? I've never heard anyone assert that. His Twitter account is https://twitter.com/julianassange_

According to a January 2010 interview, the WikiLeaks team then consisted of five people working full-time and about 800 people who worked occasionally, none of whom were compensated.[43] WikiLeaks does not have any official headquarters. In November 2010 the WikiLeaks-endorsed[44] news and activism site WikiLeaks Central was initiated and was administrated by editor Heather Marsh who oversaw 70+ writers and volunteers.[45] She resigned as editor in chief, administrator and domain holder of WikiLeaks Central on 8 March 2012.[46]"
What on earth gives you the idea that Julian Assange holds the WikiLeaks Twitter account? There seems to be absolutely no reason whatsoever to believe that. Where does this notion come from?
