Online Nazis Thrill To MyPillow’s $14.88 Sale Price

AlterNet reports:

Far-right election denier Mike Lindell’s MyPillow is now being advertised at a significant discount. One historian is pointing out that the pillow’s new price is a reference to a prominent neo-Nazi rallying cry.

The official @MyPillowUSA X account tweeted an advertisement for its product with a posted price of $14.88.

As the SPLC explained, the number “1488” is a reference to the “14 words” slogan frequently used by neo-Nazis: “We must secure the existence of our people and a future for white children.” The “88” is a reference to the eighth letter of the alphabet twice, interpreted by neo-Nazis to mean “Heil Hitler.”

Read the full article.

That historian quoted in the linked piece says that he doubts that Lindell would even know the reference. But it appears that somebody working for him does.

And the new price point, as you can see below, is being received with joy by the literal Nazis that infest X. A sample of those replies is below.
