Ben & Jerry’s seems to have taken a different approach on Independence Day, as they smeared America as “stolen land” in a tweet while millions of Americans were out enjoying freedom, family and fireworks.
From Consumer Research:
The woke ice cream giant smeared the United States as “stolen land” in a 4th of July tweet.
On the 4th of July, companies and individuals usually celebrate America for being the awesome country it is. But this year, Ben & Jerry’s used Independence Day to smear the United States as “stolen land,” and called for Americans to “return” our country to Native American tribes.
…
As if that wasn’t enough, Ben & Jerry’s posted the same message to Instagram, along with an accompanying video trashing Mount Rushmore and referring to the United States as “land of the free—or so we thought.”
Woke activism is nothing new for Ben & Jerry’s. In 2021, it released an anti-cop ice cream flavor and also pledged to stop selling its ice cream in parts of Israel.

From OutKick:
Ben & Jerry’s is a clown show, and this nonsense shouldn’t be tolerated.
Let me be crystal clear. America might not be perfect, but this country is the greatest thing to ever happen to the world.
In this country, we celebrate freedom, capitalism, family, independence, the individual and the system allows anyone to chase whatever dream they might have.
Does America have some scars? Yes, but all nations do. The incredible things America has done – such as liberating the world in WWII – far outweigh whatever mistakes might have happened.
Furthermore, what is Ben & Jerry’s doing to put its money where its mouth is? Will the company be closing down all its production facilities and stores and donating the land to Native American families?
That was a question everyone seemed to want to know in the comments.
Continued from OutKick:
Let’s get specific.
Ben & Jerry’s wants to “commit to returning” the land America sits on. What does that mean? What exactly should be returned? To whom should it be returned to?
How should this happen? Is Ben & Jerry’s calling for the military to send in tanks to retake towns? Should there be gun runs on the territory Ben & Jerry thinks is illegally occupied?
Existing on stolen land would be justification for war or an invasion. Is that what Ben & Jerry’s is demanding? The ice cream company shouldn’t be shy. Let’s get into specifics. Whose land should be taken away and who should get it?
Also, does this apply to America or all of North America. Mexican and Spanish forces fought Native Americans on land that is now New Mexico. Does Ben & Jerry’s support cruise missile strikes on Mexico City in retaliation?
Everything I just said is insane and that’s the whole point. None of it makes any sense, but if Ben & Jerry’s is going to claim it’s time to give land back, the public is owed specifics.
