Mike Lindell, the controversial founder of MyPillow and vocal ally to Donald Trump, is claiming ignorance over the neo-Nazi symbolism in his pillow prices.
Lindell’s pillow company, which he founded in 2009, is currently offering customers the “Standard Classic MyPillow” for $14.88 reduced from $49.98.
But the discount has got critics pointing out a popular neo-Nazi symbol lurking behind the price.
The numbers 14 and 88 are two popular white supremacist numeric symbols, according to the Anti-Defamation League.
The first is a nod to the “14 words” slogan, “We must secure the existence of our people and a future for white children,” coined by David Lane – a member of the white supremacist terrorist group known as The Order.
Meanwhile, 88 is a common code meaning “Heil Hitler”, because H is the eighth letter in the alphabet.
ignorant of many things he is yes. but familiarity with fascist nazism isnt one of them
He knows what he’s doing. It got him free advertising.
Why is he still in the news?
People cant stop looking at an on going train wreck
the Jimmy Kimmel Mike is pretty funny
Sure, and the promo was 14.98 first and was then changed to 14.88 after 12 days by accident? All just happenstance?
I won’t detail everything again here, please let me refer you to my comment from when the story broke:
“Now check out our new novelty shaped bed, the Swasleeper!”
Not gonna lie, at least when it comes to the back and foot board a swatstika would make a pretty solid shape for a quad person bed. Put a bed in the void area between the arms.
I do not know why my brain thought of this but the swastibed crawled up from the same part of my consciousness that tells me to mix Mayonnaise and Yogurt. So yeah take that as you will.
Bull-fuckin’-shit.
He might as well be walking around with a Hitler mustache claiming ignorance. I could totally see him doing that.
MeinPillow
had to do it. it’s all I could see from the photo in the article.
There are a lot of valid reasons to detest the guy. Going out on a limb with weird conspiratorial accusations isn’t really necessary. Already enough of that weird nonsense out there. Just sayin.
You think that was just a random coincidence on that specific price? Have you ever seen any sale end in 88 cents? 🤔
just looked at Amazon, found a bunch of sales that ended in weird numbers .21 .84 .58 .74 .89 .44
oh and I found this one too
Surely the fact that he’s sticking up for an Epstein friend is more than enough to hate him already.
Okay but if something for sale for $420.69 we would all agree that was intentional, right?
I doubt he personally is setting those prices.
Which means he’s got at least one neo-nazi on staff.
Mike Lindell did a Nazi dog whistle, not surprised.
Mike Lindell claimed he had no idea about how super Nazi it was: not surprised.
To be fair i had no idea what 14 or 88 meant before reading this post. Not to vifify mike lindell as i dont watch the news but am aware of him indorsing politcal figures. But i feel its reaching to say hes a white supremacist baised on the price of a product. Now if there any factual instances of him being racist, then there may be a correlation.
It’s a thing. Now that you know, watch for it in the wild. Usernames, tattoos, bumperstickers, t-shirts. These people like to advertise.
Just because YOU didn’t know doesn’t mean much. It just means you’re probably not a White Nationalist/Nazi (or maybe it means you are and are just ill informed about the culture and iconography surrounding it ).
It definitely means something to white nationalists.
I mean im not saying it cant be politcal dog whistle. But there would need to be more evidence to make a conclusion. Such as mike lindel saying somthing racist or somthing that reinforces him being a white nationalist Nazi. Saying hes a racist purely off of a product price is the equivalent of the pet eating ohio comments. Both lack evidence and credibility to my knowlage.

Jfc, you Nazi apologists are fucking wild, comparing a white supremacist openly broadcasting a Nazi dog whistle, to a bunch of immigrants who literally did nothing to no one but were still made a target for violence by those same white supremacists for the sin of existing while being Black is vile beyond belief.
You should be ashamed of yourself.
Buddy i was comparing them for as they both lack real basis. And im not a nazi or a racist im simply being unbiased. And for added contex i honestly think people that judge people by the color of there skin are FUCKING stupid. Like seriously, ITS A FUCKING COLOR congrats lobotmites you judged a book by its cover and over generalized based on somthing by chance.
And i do not appreciate lumping be in with lobotomites, im fine if you disagree with my oppions and i appreciate different oppions. I think the worst world to live in is the one where its just circle jerking. And mental imbreeding of ideas.
I’ll judge a book by its cover, you don’t watch the news by your own admission and you can’t spell. That’s enough to dismiss your opinions out of hand. In ‘contex.’ What you appreciate or don’t about ‘lobotmites’ is really kind of irrelevant and quite frankly the most outdated comment I’ve read in quite a while.
Yeah i dont watch the news because the news hasn’t been about telling factual storys, every station is biased. And im tired of the political news stations and the shock factor storys. Instead of actual reporting they would rather talk about dumb little things or heavly misleading and perspective bending storys. Thats why i switched to lemmy, its everbody oppions fedirated. So ideally its more of a mutal consisis and constructive rather than censorship on outlet spewing slop. And i never was good in english class for grammer, which is mostly my fault. And i apologize if i came off rude, i dont like when people go online and assume just because people have different opinions means there “Woke” or racist or somthing. And i appreciate not interacting on a platform where is internet slop and circle jerking. If you wanna have a diffrent oppion and judge a book, then thats on you. I wish you the best.
I appreciate your candor. I don’t agree with you but I don’t think I’m going to change your opinion. I wish you would spend some time not ‘being woke’ and using buzzwords straight from Fox News that you have apparently never seen, but instead looking at your angry behavior. No one said you weren’t woke enough, but I’m really curious why you wouldn’t want to be woke? What does it mean to you to respect other people and be awake to their struggles? You may not like them, they may clash with your views, but how does it hurt you this bad?
Makes sense, he’s a couple of quick razor swipes from a Hitler stache.
I’m half tempted to buy the domain name “myLUMPYpillow.com” and simply redirect the traffic to mypillow.com just because of how much Lindell would hate that.
Slow the redirect down, and show people ads for fake couch porn sites, too
They’re going to hand over good money for a lumpy pillow from a two bit con artist and part time insurrectionist. Isn’t that punishment enough for the shopper? Nothing we could do to the redirect would punish them worse than having to use a a Lindell lumpy pillow.
It at least half will complain about the couch porn to Mike… or at least to the chat bit…
So it’s meant to annoy Mike even more.
And as far as I’m concerned… he can’t be punished enough.

I was referring to punishment for his shoppers. You can bet Mike doesn’t sleep on one of his own lumpy pillows, even if he should be in prison for his actions trying to overturn democracy.
