It seems incongruous to quote Sartre in connection with a pillow shiller whose brain is fried from crack use, but here we are.
“Never believe that anti-Semites are completely unaware of the absurdity of their replies. They know that their remarks are frivolous, open to challenge. But they are amusing themselves, for it is their adversary who is obliged to use words responsibly, since he believes in words. The anti-Semites have the right to play. They even like to play with discourse for, by giving ridiculous reasons, they discredit the seriousness of their interlocutors. They delight in acting in bad faith, since they seek not to persuade by sound argument but to intimidate and disconcert. If you press them too closely, they will abruptly fall silent, loftily indicating by some phrase that the time for argument is past.”

If you are going to sell bedding supplies that promise a future for white children this seems like the most banal and depressing option to choose.

As I said in a previous thread when this came up, if it were somehow a coincidence (hint: it’s not), any company that had a problem with looking like they were sending out high fives to Nazis would immediately change the price to $14.89. The 1488 thing, though it should be an obscure gross secret, is now common knowledge thanks to the USA’s normalizing of fascism. I might believe there are still some businesses out there who remain innocently oblivious to the connotations, but MyPillow is definitely not one of them. Guy’s a Nazi and proud of it.

Right; just as it’s entirely possible to have a product coincidentally priced at $6.66 but you probably wouldn’t see many companies keep a promotional price set that way, at least not in the Bible Belt.

Just wait until say December or January. Assuming (
) Trump loses the election, how long is it likely to be before MyPillow goes out of business thanks to Lindell’s fabulous business skills 
and we can buy them for cheap at their bankruptcy liquidation sale if we want them?

That’d be good for my cousin. Apparently MyPilllow are good for his unusual constellation of skeletomuscular ailments, and he’s expressed annoyance at having to fund a fascist lackey in buying them.

The pillows are crappy - I bought two off a daily deal site before this guy went public with his batshittery so at least I have that to ameliorate the shame - they’re not even worth buying at a discount. Even the cats didn’t like them.

Anyone know is there’s any significance in “promo code R277?”

I was having lunch at a Korean deli run by two very religious ladies, and the price of my lunch rang up as $6.66. She gave out a little yelp and quickly added a penny to the price.

I would have demanded they subtract a penny.

If she really cared she would take it off.

When I bought a car out of state and went to register it at my county DMV, there were three 6s in a row in the total amount due. The clerk paused, then asked me in all seriousness if I wanted to stop registering the car now and return it to where I bought it. Ummm, no. She then stepped away from the desk and asked another clerk to finish the transaction. Life in the Bible Belt, y’all!

Trump supporters: “Stop calling us Nazis! It’s just ignorant liberal name-calling!”
Mike Lindell (interrupting): “My pillows are your Final Sleep Solution with everything you need for a good White’s sleep! (wink wink)”
They’ve moved beyond ‘saying the quiet part loud’, and straight on to ‘printing the loud part on a price sticker’.
