Full title: Woke confectioners Ben & Jerry's on a losing streak after anti-American July 4 post: Parent company loses $2B, Indian chief demands land under its HQ

The woke ice cream company Ben & Jerry's scorned the United States on July 4, telling Americans their country "exists on stolen Indigenous land" and to return it.

Patriots and prospective customers did not take too kindly to the confectioners' latest anti-American outburst, with some committing to giving the company the "Bud Light" treatment.

Another woke company bites the dust.

Wish I could contribute to their decline. But I never buy their overpriced crap anyway, so they already get nothing from me.

Ben & Jerry sold out to Unilever.(2000) They don’t even own the company they’re ruining. Wonder if the parent company could sue them for ruining them?

We will see. Ben & Jerry's has been vocally left-wing and obnoxious about it for many years, and they're still around. Previous boycotts never accomplished much against them, so it'll be interesting to see if this one actually manages to inflict some real damage - and a dip in Unilever's stock price will have to last a while to count as real damage.

“In January 2021, Ben & Jerry’s released a Tweet calling for the resignation, impeachment, and invoking of the 25th Amendment against President Donald Trump following the January 6 United States Capitol attack, saying, “Yesterday was not a protest—it was a riot to uphold white supremacy.””

These two old batty Marxists (who have sold the company to Unilever) oppose virtually everything good and decent and favor virtually every leftist/authoritarian/nanny state position imaginable.

They conveniently neglected the fleeing Christians that were instrumental in the country’s beginnings. My ancestors were farmers (and ministers), not here to wage war against anyone until provoked by the crown.

They still work for Ben & Jerry’s, even after they sold.

Conservatives can't effectively boycott a product they don't buy. Ben & Jerry's has been leftist for decades, and their market is middle to upper class urban and suburban liberals. It may be good, but it is a superpremium brand with pricing to match. They have a market far less vulnerable to conservative boycotts than inexpensive beer.

Apparently the only borders lefties respect are the paleolithic ones.

As garden variety democrats, these two aren’t unusual; they hate Israel, are JINO’s, and demand others do what they refuse to do, probably love bigger government supported by ever increasing taxes, but likely pay fleets of accountant to help them avoid paying their “fair share.”

So they’re no big deal, certainly nowhere near as important as they consider themselves. You know, like hollywoodenheads.

GOOD. I hope they keep sliding. I’ve never bought their crap. They’ve been spewing leftist garbage for years.
