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.

Language, especially the English language, has been changing since its inception. Every generation of youth is another generation that uses new words, abandons old words, changes the meaning and/or pronunciation of recognized words, and so on. It’s the nature of a living language - its usage adapts through time.
It’s crucial to remember that just because something is “different” from what you’re used to, that doesn’t make it “worse.”
Just learn and speak Latin or Klingon or something. Those are much less likely to change.
True, languages change through use.
why aren’t you speaking Old English?
Because I’m speaking the English I learned as a child, and I wasn’t alive then.
but how can you stomach this disgusting, bastardized version that barely resembles the original language? surely as someone who cares about the language so much, you would make an effort to speak proper English, not this enshittified version.
Thanks for your concern, I’ll file it with the other times strangers have tried to insult me but have been terrible at it.

Because everything I was born with, country, language, system of measurements, was obviously the best, as evidenced by the fact that I was born with it.
