It seems Ben and Jerry's may be next in the firing line after they made waves with a provocative 4th of July tweet claiming the US is on stolen Indigenous land. Could we witness a downturn similar to Bud Light?

Or is their irresistibly good ice cream strong enough to keep their ship afloat?

Edit: Side note - in the absence of B&J, what ice cream are you turning to? I’m in AUS. So B&J was a game changer. Not anything else like it that I’m aware of.

I imagine you didn't intend this because it's reprehensible but you are defending genocide right now. Take a minute and rethink your life.

How am I defending it. It’s terrible when anyone does it.

Often people use rhetoric like yours to imply the genocide Americans did was just a normal thing that everyone did. Which is a form of genocide apologism. If that isn't what you intended you might consider rephrasing. Sorry for misunderstanding.
