| Ben & Jerry's Co-Founder Blames NATO 'Military-Industrial-Congressional Complex' for Ukraine War |
| 2023-07-22 |
| [PJ] Ben & Jerry’s cofounders Ben Cohen and Jerry Greenfield would have done a lot better sticking to making their delicious frozen treats while keeping their mouths shut. The painfully liberal and awkwardly socially conscious duo were last in the news over the Fourth of July when their company stupidly tweeted out the historically inaccurate charge that "The United States exists on stolen Indigenous land." |

| #11 I try as hard as I can to avoid putting any money in the pockets of companies that fund leftism. It's impossible to be utterly pure, but the effort is worth it. |

| #10 Ben & Jerry's, pfui! I worked at a dairy plant in the ice cream freezer and tasted most of their products --- they were pints that got "squashed" in shipping and were unsellable so why not? (Many were also put in the employee breakroom's fridge for the other employees to sample...) Anyway... Most cities have some local ice cream producer that sells products just as tasty in the premium and ultra-premium grades. So why buy B&J's overpriced, overhyped crap? |

| #9 I blame Joe Biden because he said if Russia took a little bit of Ukraine it wouldn't be a big deal. |

| #8 The “No publicity is bad publicity” school of marketing. Also very on-brand — the company has a foundation for backing Progressive causes, the continued backing of which was included in the contract when the company was sold to Unilever in 2000. Unilever has had increasing cause to regret what seemed at the time to be a harmless brand differentiator. |

| #7 I don’t like Ben and Jerry. I don’t buy their products, but in this case I agree with them. I run into similar situations with the ultimate blind pig AOC. Every once in a while she says something true. My favorites are when her random truth shart undercuts all her other baloney. |

| #5 Never set foot into one of their shop and never will. I can't even call it a boycott. |

| #4 They know their customer base of status and virtue signalling affluent housewives and spinsters. The Venn diagrams overlap with the View audience is very very tight. |
