The owners of the ice cream company Ben & Jerry’s have never been shy about their liberal agenda.
This Fourth of July, however, Ben & Jerry’s tweeted an image stating, "This 4th of July, it’s high time we recognize that the U.S. exists on stolen Indigenous land and commit to returning it." Clicking on a link "learn more and take action" leads to an article explaining how Mount Rushmore is evil because it used to be a sacred mountain for an Indigenous tribe.
INSIDE THE PENTAGON OFFICE LEADING UFO INVESTIGATIONSToday, people of Indigenous heritage in the United States have the same opportunities as anyone else to thrive. Over the course of history, different nations and groups have struggled for land. But if the argument is that Americans should return land to Indigenous tribes, then shouldn’t land all over the world be returned to its original owners? This would be nearly impossible.
Ben & Jerry’s website also discusses the company’s involvement in climate change and "racial justice." It is comical that an ice cream company discusses how farming chocolate is bad for the environment because it aids deforestation. Many politicians and woke companies talk about climate change, but their actions rarely seem to live up to their words. They seem only to want to instill fear in people in order to control their actions, like using paper straws or having to pay for single-use plastic grocery bags. For example, while Ben & Jerry’s claims to offset its role in harvesting cocoa through efforts like planting trees, one would think they might eliminate chocolate as an ingredient in their products overall if they had genuine concerns about its contributions to the "climate crisis."
Then comes the company's effort to preserve "reproductive rights." The fact that something actually comes up when you search the term "abortion" on the website of an ice cream company is ludicrous. Still, they provide a blog post titled "Roe, One Year Later: 5 Ways the Movement to Protect Reproductive Rights Continues." It's a call to action for abortion proponents. One of the 5 steps on the list includes fighting to "keep abortion pills legal."
Finally, under their "Activism" tab, the company lists their "Progressive Values" . They write, "Capitalism and the wealth it produces do not create opportunity for everyone equally. We recognize that the gap between the rich and the poor is wider than at any time since the 1920s."
Conservatives—let’s teach Ben & Jerry’s a lesson on capitalism. Conservatives have had some recent success in telling woke businesses that virtue signaling does not sell to everyone. Conservatives shouldn't support ice cream brands that use their money to spread liberal propaganda.
