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.
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.
He’s credibly stupid enough to not have known.
I don’t think he’s stupid enough not to know what those numbers mean. The crowds he hangs out with, there is zero doubt he has seen those tattoos on more than a few faces in the MAGA crowds.
I don’t necessarily think he was even aware of the price tag, or thought about a proposed sale enough to notice. I think the chances this was one of his nazi employees is higher than him setting his own sales price himself.
He doesn’t seem to be coherent enough to be running day to day things like that, when his focus is getting in front of any camera willing to record him.
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.
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.
Makes sense, he’s a couple of quick razor swipes from a Hitler stache.
Ah yes, the completely normal 70.23% discount.
To be fair, I see all kinds of $14.88 or $7.86 or other random prices at Walmart. Problem is, I know a person didn’t necessarily set those prices because it’s every product, seemingly at random.
One dude decides what His Pillow costs, and he had to have chosen $14.88 for a reason. Maybe not because he’s a Nazi sympathizer, but maybe just to get in the headlines again. Either way, he knew the connection and what would happen, which is sell a bunch of pillows.
The prices at Walmart aren’t random. The cents portion indicates things like limited buy, no longer stocking, temporary sale, etc. It has been over a decade since I’ve worked retail, buy they are indicators for employees.
Wait can you explain more? I’ve never heard of that, feel like I’m asking for a dirty trade secret
but maybe just to get in the headlines again…
…because he knew it is a Nazi dog whistle.
So he’s either a Nazi, or he knows enough about Nazis to know how to appeal directly to them, and is happy to do so for publicity (so, an enthusiastic collaborator with Nazis at the very fucking least).
You really should examine with yourself why you feel the need to jump to the defence of a Nazi.
Crazy thing is he has to give a 70.23% discount for people to even think about buying a pillow
50 dollars for the world’s best pillow is a steal
Something you use every night that can actually help with sleep and health. You shouldn’t be skimping on your pillow.
