Ben & Jerry’s,
the infamous peddler of semi-frozen dairy products and Marxist propaganda, recently
put out the following statement: "The U.S.
was founded on stolen Indigenous land. This year, let's commit to returning it."
It also asserted that the "land back" movement was
about "ensuring that Indigenous people can again govern the land their
communities called home for thousands of years," but, oddly, focused much
of its statement on the taking of land from the Lakota in South Dakota.
In response, Don
Stevens, chief of the Nulhegan Band of The Coosuk Abenaki Nation, said his
tribe would be willing to take back the land currently owned by Ben &
Jerry’s. However, it doesn’t appear that Ben & Jerry’s, which sits on a
large tract of land once occupied by the Abenaki, is terribly eager to take
Chief Stevens up on his generous offer. What a surprise! The ice cream company
is more than willing to cede lands owned by others, in remote (and conservative)
places like South Dakota, but not so willing to take a permanent hike itself.
Who could’ve guessed? (There is a connection here, when you think about it, in
terms of progressive “rationale,” to a classic P.J. O’Rourke chapter on
overpopulation titled, “Just Enough of Me, Way Too Much of You.”)
Ben & Jerry’s
incessant yet hollow virtue signaling is akin to the elites’ mindset that allows
them to feel superior telling the rest of us we must make significant sacrifices
in our lives to address the ‘climate change crisis,’ while they own three
mansions, a couple of Bentleys--and fly around the world in private planes.
The confectioner is known for the outré names it gives its
ice creams, such as “Oat of This Swirled” and “Cherry Garcia.” Perhaps the
ultra-progressive sugar-slinger should add new flavors-- such as “Banana
Republic,” “Straw-purchaseberry,” “Man-go-away,”
“Pissedoffio,” “Marxist Magic Cookie Dough,” “White Privilege Vanilla,” and
“Systemic Racism Oreo” to its lineup.
Oh, and “Chocolate Fraud,” “Gaslight Grape”……
and perhaps even “Indian-Giver Caramel Custard.”
I’m sure you can think of others.
