    The sign shown says “My pillow, $14:88” 14:88 as pretty much everyone knows by now is a white supremacist meme. In the video they say “sieg heil, heil Trump” which sounds a bit over the top to me. Like you’d think they’d be aware that nazis are unpopular and aren’t doing Trump any favors…

    Of course I considered that these might be pranksters pretending to be nazis, but they just seem a little too into the bit. One of the guys on the boat has a German nazi t-shirt (probably rather hard to buy/get printed nowadays) and another has a “moms for liberty” shirt, an organization very closely tied to the GOP. I mean they really committed to it if they are pranksters. I think more likely these people are actual nazis, and particularly dumb ones at that.

    One of the men on board appeared to be holding an image of Mike Lindell, CEO of the My Pillow company. Lindell, who is a well-known Trump supporter, recently hit back against claims that his product pricing was inadvertently linked to neo-Nazi propaganda.

    INADVERNTLY?! Fuck off. It was $14.88, he knew goddamn well EXACTLY what he was doing.

      Similar to this quote-

      There’s a saying in Germany. If there’s a Nazi at the table and ten other people sitting there talking to him, you got a table with eleven Nazis.

    Antifa is a term for far-left groups that resist facists [sp] and neo-Nazis.

    Imagine thinking being against fascism is far left. Good to know that Newsweek has bought into MAGA’s bullshit.
