"Cancel culture" lmao. Dude used his position as a pillow salesman to spread conspiracy theories and now has to bear the consequences.

    I love how not ordering product from him is an "attack"

    I learned a fun new word for it. It’s also called “capitalism”.

    Really funny how they always talk about cancle culture but they are always the ones calling for boycotting.

    That's not entirely true. I boycott places I don't agree with all of the time. Be it religious views that affect policy, political views, or a range of others things, there's almost always an alternative that I'd rather give my money to.

    Is it a boycott if it's just me participating?

    No, it isn't just you. "Cancel Culture" is another of those pejoritive terms the right is so fond of. Making decisions about where to spend your money based on the behavior of the companies is a one of the few ways we have to influence corporations (and politicians).

    The extreme right seems to have given up o boycotts and moved on to direct physical attacks as their preferred methods of influence.

    Lindell was ordered to pay $5 million to a man who won a “Prove Mike Wrong” contest at his 2021 “cyber-symposium” where he challenged experts to examine his data, which he claimed proved Donald Trump really won the 2020 election.

    It didn’t, and one expert who looked at the data demanded the prize.

    Lindell refused to pay, so the case went to court, where he lost.

    🤣

    What's even better is that the guy in question - Robert Zeidman - is, in fact a Trump supporter. But as a data analytics engineer, he wasn't able to fool himself with bullshit data.

    Yeah I seem to remember an NPR interview he did where they gave him "the packets" they captured of a malicious actor communicating with voting equipment and the files were Word documents that somebody typed a bunch of gibberish into and renamed the file extension.

    Bro, you used your pillow sales to try and incite insurrection on the thinnest of bullshit data. The fact that the vast majority of folks with sense thought maybe you shouldn't have pillow sales to fund terrible ideas anymore is kinda on you.

    As someone who has received one of his pillows as a gift, it does not surprise me in the least that the company is going under. Aside from his crazier than a shithouse rat politics, the lumpy sacks of industrial waste he passes off as pillows are the most uncomfortable thing I've ever laid my head on.

    Hilarious. And the lawsuit hasn't even happened yet, has it?

    Well, one has. He had his cybersecurity symposium, where he showed the “evidence” that the election was stolen, and offered a $5 million prize to anyone who could prove him wrong. A cybersecurity expert took one look and showed him that his “evidence” didn’t say anything close to what he claimed and wanted his 5 mil. MyPillowFool refused to pay, security guy took him to court and won. Fool had to pay.

    He still has the Big Daddy 1.3 billion (With a B) Dominion lawsuit pending though.

    More like poor brand management. One of Mike's fans(seriously they wanted to tell me all about him) told me he was a reformed crack addict.

    Pretty sure the story I heard is that one time while doing a lot of blow, he apparently scrawled "My Pillow!" on every surface in his kitchen (or bedroom? I forget). When he woke in the morning, he took it as a sign to start a pillow company and "find Jesus".

    But I can't find a source for that story at this point, aside from saying he was a cocaine addict - that is pretty well documented.

    Okay, I gotta ask this...

    Does anyone else wonder why this guy sounds so incredibly constipated when he talks? It sounds like he's pushing soooo incredibly hard while trying to get the words out!

    If it were cancel culture he would have gone out of business during COVID.

    People who cry the loudest about cancel culture hate it because it works. Sorry. Maybe don't act like a clown and people won't shun you.
