On July 4th, Ben & Jerry’s sent out a snarky tweet about the USA being built on “stolen land”
Since then, things have not been going in their favor.

And from our host:
Companies seem to be lining up for the chance to offend at least a third of their customers. It’s sort of like a game to see who gets hit next.
The funny (in the strange sense) thing is that Ben and Jerry’s is a small fraction of Unilever’s businesses. When Unilever bought B&Js they insisted on a clause that the sellers retained the right to their social activism position decisions. That caused another problem about a year or two ago when B&Js refused to allow their ice cream to be sold on the West Bank in Israel.
Unilever should spin them off as a separate company.
In the meantime…Blue Bell.

Ben & Jerry’s is not that good of a product in my opinion. It’s an overpriced “designer” status item that belongs in Nancy Pelosi’s freezer with the rest of her ■■■■■
If one takes the time you can find products made at local creameries with fresh ingredients that tastes better but doesn’t have all the additives volume based manufacturers put in their products.
And supporting local dairies is always best anyway.

The general population doesn’t want anything to do with this woke agenda and has finally had enough.
The lesson companies need to learn is they are in business to make money, not to advance ideals that the majority of the population finds distasteful.

Call it whatever you want, during a time when groceries are up 20%, it’s actually really easy to quit buying a product for whatever reason.
Pay attention people who depend on consumers.

That’l learn 'em. 
What B&J ought to have realized is that pretty nearly every one on earth lives on land that someone else used to think of as theirs.

Radical lefties never know when to stop or to shut up. 
The reason there is no response from B&J is probably they can’t get their foot out of their forked tongue mouths.

So, Ben and Jerry’s profited from stolen land?
How about a rico suit to seize the company, and give it to the Native Americans in question? Would Alan Dershowitz be interested in lending his expertise to this?
They probably got told by Unilever to shut the ■■■■ up.
That usually happens when someone’s verbal diarrhea causes a stock to tank as hard as that did.
Ouch. 
Precisely!

Hilarious considering Unilever is a British company.

Perfect liberals. Can’t even see how stupid they sound. And won’t leave and return to what ever land they think is not stolen.
Whoopi Goldberg and Joy Behar immediately come to mind.

Agreed…I didn’t notice the typo I meant to say woke not women…
But yes joyless behar and the girls on the view are idiots…can I toss Joyless Reid the race lady from MessNbc into that mix?
(I normally go back through my posts to see what typos I made and what my phone chose to autocorrect…apologies I’m embarrassed i missed that on that post).

I don’t know if the Coosuk Abenaki Nation has a legitimate claim to B&J’s land, but the Lakota do for the return of the Black Hills due to the illegal abrogation of the Treaty of 1868. Realistically I don’t see them getting it back, but I have to give them props for turning down the billion dollars in escrow.
Why? The Lakota took the Black Hill lands from the Cheyenne who took it from someone else. As I said, we all live on land that someone else once claimed was theirs … even a lot of American Indians.

There is a difference in conquering the territory “fair and square” vs reneging on a treaty.
When I give my word it means something to me.
