The replies to that tweet show what a nazi shithole twitter has become. Just learned a couple more dogwhistles though. 271k = Holocaust denial. 271,000 being the number of Jews that actually died, not 6M. ---

As long as we’re talking dog whistles, the R277 that this promotion is called matches a set of rules for the Utah State Board of Education. [https://schools.utah.gov/administrativerules/index](https://schools.utah.gov/administrativerules/index) That may be a coincidence but I have trouble believing anything is a coincidence with this lunatic. Part of those rules notoriously prohibits teaching diversity training in Utah public schools, and is meant to fight against CRT. > **[Equity training is now considered discriminatory in Utah’s K-12 schools](https://www.sltrib.com/news/education/2024/02/06/utahs-educational-equity-rule-k-12/)** > > A Utah rule initially designed to ensure “educational equity” for all students now explicitly prohibits some equitable practices in K-12 public schools.

> [@nearwildheaven](#): > > Anyway, I’ve long seen $1.88, $2.88, etc., usually to allow for sales taxes. Yeah, in that context, it doesn’t raise the same eyebrow. But in combo with 14, from a conservative whackjob, it’s a clear dog whistle. ---

> [@nearwildheaven](#): > > Anyway, I’ve long seen $1.88, $2.88, etc., usually to allow for sales taxes. In many chains prices ending in .97 and .88 have historically been used for certain kinds of discounts. For example discontinued items might be priced at $X.97 and items marked down in that store only (say to clear an overstock) might be $X.88. Or vice versa. There used to be a belief (maybe still is) that when Walmart advertised “Always the low price” they would price thousands of items at $X.98, when the reference competitor was at $X.99. Also $X.48 and $X.49. No idea if this is or was true. ---

There was yet another one, more recent. They claimed to not know the significance of 88 and it seemed plausible, and they requested (and received) a username change (and they still post here; I won’t name names to not unnecessarily shame them). So there _are_ times when people use the number not realizing the significance of it. But when you combine it with 14? And those are frequently used together to show support for white supremacy. That’s pushing beyond the realm of plausibility for me. ---

Thanks for the correction - my mind may have made an unfair connection between the banned jtur88 (who was banned for their actions and that’s all I’ll say about that) and missed the actual target. Mea culpa. 🙂 ---

Update: Yesterday, there was a pro-Trump boat parade in Palm Beach County in Florida. At least one of boats was flying Nazi flags; a photo which appears to have been taken at that parade shows the boat, flying both Trump flags and Nazi flags, plus a sign with a picture of Lindell, the MyPillow logo, and the “$14.88” price. The Nazis certainly heard the dog whistle.

Whenever I see that, I still think it’s funny at how deeply it undermines all their anti-masking behavior during covid. You can’t breath with a mask on to keep people safe, but you don’t seem to have a problem doing it to keep yourself safe (by hiding your face). In fact I said as much in some of the covid/mask threads. That is, the anti-mask movement, at it’s core, was ‘I don’t care if YOU get sick’ and IMO, if masks prevented you from getting covid as opposed to preventing you from spreading it, the anti-maskers would have been hoarding them. You’d not have seen someone with a MAGA hat and no mask. ---

I’m in favor of usury laws that place restrictions on interest rates and loan terms when it comes to individual lenders who may not have the financial literacy to understand what they are signing up for. But Lindell presumably entered into this loan agreement with his eyes totally open, and given that shaky nature of his business he’s lucky he could get any loan at all, and so should expect a massive interest rate to account for the banks extreme risk. If he thinks a 360% interest rate was fraudulently unreasonable he shouldn’t have signed up for it. Personally I think that he would be better off arguing that the contract was illegal because he was hopped up on cocaine when he signed it and so didn’t know what he was doing. ---

If Lindell had financial literacy he wouldn’t have gotten into this situation. For years, Republicans have fought against regulation of the payday loan industry. Lindell made his bed. Let him lay in it, lumpy pillows and all.
