Can you call it a boycott when you're not buying the product already?
Ben and Jerry's calls for someone else to give up their land to assuage their signaled virtues.
Technically, I am boycotting Ben and Jerry's.
I have not purchased their wares for, literally, decades because of some political stance they took way back when. It's been long enough I don't even remember the triggering event.
But they keep reminding me that I don't want to give them any money in other ways.
For a very long time they've been a liberal virtue signal PR company that happens to make ice cream.

ReplyDeleteBen and Jerrys is owned by Unilever, and they own hundreds of companies and supporting elements.

Would be very hard to actually boycott Unilever but if it makes you feel virtuous feel free.
Not all the Unilever brands are so overzealous about promoting their management's libtard agendas. Apparently the hippy-dippy leftist traditions at Ben & Jerry's persist even though they may not be completely shared by their larger corporate overlords. Sometimes brands have a certain level of autonomy. This article about Unilever's woes due to woke-itis here:

Blue Bell or even Wells Blue Bunny make as good or better ice cream than Ben & Jerry and usually at a better price point. Frankly I often just buy the store brand the few times I ever buy ice cream anyway. And that's rare. I just don't eat much of it. I really probably shouldn't eat any at all.
ReplyDeleteIt's indeed like Bud Light... can't boycott what you wouldn't buy anyway... However getting the word out to others why they shouldn't patronize companies that put politics ahead of serving their customers. Because you should be able to drink beer or eat ice cream without worrying that the company is going to screw us over on our basic human rights like gun ownership.

B&J went full leftard over Mumia, a convicted cop killer who in court admitted he ambushed a cop and killed said cop. That was probably the first time that lousy company (never liked their ice cream, as Publix was and is better and less expensive) went off the rails.
ReplyDeleteThere's very little doubt that Mumia is guilty as hell. The 3rd guy who got away story just isn't believable.All of the other supposed discrepencies in evidence seem extremely flimsy. There's no doubt he was there and had motive and that his firearm was the murder weapon. Even though so many libtards want to make him out as a choir boy, he's certainly not. Secretly a lot on the left even admit he's probably guilty including people like Micheal Moore.

DeleteConsidering that the jury composed of a lot of 'his' own people convicted him, yeah, the preponderance of primary evidence was overwhelming. Secondary and circumstantial evidence wasn't really needed at all.
DeleteHe's just playing the leftist fools and tools.
Ben and Jerry's is overpriced IMO, and I also don't care for their political posturing. Just make and sell the damn ice cream and keep your damn politics out of it!
