Is it Ben or Jerry?
Larry David
Ben
Cool but won’t buy your ice cream. Sold to a conglomerate.
Unilever is spinning it off again.
Fuck NBC for labeling their protest as “pro Gaza” instead of the much more accurate “anti-genocide”. I realize that our media is almost entirely owned by like 12 billionaires, but it still chafes.
anti-genocide is less specific as there are multiple ongoing genocides
I fucking hate it.
Unless you express breathless support for Netanyahu you’re an anti-semitic pro-hamas scum bag.
They stopped saying pro-hamas so we might get there, one day…
are you absolutely sure they were all specifically just had cake, and none of them were hungry?
Ben & Jerry’s parent company is Unilever. Their stock is currently 60.60 usd. Let’s see if it climbs after this.
Unilever is a shitty company.
Yes it is
Wait, has Ben & Jerry’s always been this based?
Ben & Jerry’s gives out free ice cream at various progressive protests here in Australia. It is delicious and amazing for morale.
Pretty much, yeah. Although they did sell their company to Unilever, so the company itself is not so based.
Pretty sure they endorsed Bernie back in the day. They’re definitely hippies.
Shame that whole “peace and love” thing didn’t catch on
The hippie movement was coopted by the elites early on, which is why they stopped talking about economic justice and focused more on concepts like “free love”, “equality”, drug use, and other cultural focuses.
Those hippies (namely Steve Jobs) later went on to define our current Big Tech industry.
Meanwhile, when a strong leader arises who starts to sound a little too much like a socialist (MLK Jr.), the state murders them.
I think we forget that the peace/love hippie generation is the same one that’s been leading America for the last 30 years.
I think we forget that generations aren’t monoliths but rather the product of a pluralistic world.
I still hear “don’t worry the old people will die out” as if young people can’t be morons and don’t vote, say, far-right
Yeah, it’s funny (🥲) too since younger Zoomers are even more right wing than Boomers…

It’s a bit of a divide between women and men though. Young men are turning to the right because of manosphere sort of influencers while women are turning more to the left. It’s quite depressing to see young men being pipelined into the alt right
Yes.
I think there was something I read about current leadership being not as good or something, so look into that, but this guy at least is fucking cool so far.
The former owners are not the brand. Only the name is the same.
I don’t remember the exact debate but Unilever (who purchased the brand at some point) is trying to make changes but the company is supposed to have its own say per their agreement.
I hope they can hold out against those changes: Unilever bought Talenti and it went from being pretty good to garbage that I won’t ever buy again
Yep.
I think so
Yep
If you watch the video the cops assault the protestors which is so crazy. I get you can remove the people and am not surprised cops acted this way it’s just so disgusting to see.
ACAB wasn’t made up for fun
Pro-Israeli genociders to anyone who might take offense to genocide: “just lie back and let it happen”
Guess ill eat some more b&j
They don’t own it anymore
Oh that’s sad then
I wouldn’t bother, it’s owned by big corp

Officers physically removed Cohen and six other pro-Gaza protesters, and charged them with crowding, obstructing and incommoding — a misdemeanor offense. It is against the law to protest inside congressional buildings. All but Cohen also faced charges of resisting arrest and assault on a police office, Capitol Police said.
Deal offer incoming.
assault on a police office
Understandable: those damn demonstrators hitting the officers’ fists with their faces was really nasty.
Sounds like he can obtain a million dollar settlement, because that’s how it works over here right?
For some inexplicable reason I am really craving ice cream right now.
Good trouble.
