Ben And Jerry's Goes Full Bud Light With July 4th Message · Radio Baloney - The Richie Baloney Show!

  Now a question that is often asked when a company is very publicly going woke,
• 0:05
  a company like Ben and Jerry's, The question is how much of it
• 0:10
  do they really believe? Is this done entirely cynically? Is it just for
• 0:14
  ESG and access to all of that black rock investment money? Which does matter?
• 0:20
  And as we can see here, Ben and Jerry's has quite a good
• 0:23
  ESG ranking eighty seven, eighty seven out of one hundred. That's high.
• 0:28
  Not that it makes them actually any more of a say, moral company than
• 0:31
  anybody else is. As we know, tobacco company at Philip Morris, who
• 0:36
  makes Marlborough has a higher ESG rating than Tesla, which makes electric cars that
• 0:43
  don't make a lick a sense? Does it make sure? Wonder if the
• 0:45
  whole thing isn't just a big sham to force woke ideology down everybody's throats.
• 0:50
  But with Ben and Jerry's, I think they're one of those companies that actually
• 0:54
  is run by woke lunatics. I think they really mean it, and they
• 0:59
  have a long history of going above and beyond for wokeness. I mean,
• 1:03
  here's there at Change the World. I guess that's supposed to be clever Colin
• 1:10
  Kaperneck ice cream, because why not be associated with literally the dumbest communist on
• 1:15
  the planet, you know, the guy who thinks that playing in the NFL
• 1:19
  is the same as slavery. Okay, Oh, here's another big virtue signal.
• 1:23
  Ben and Jerry's will end sales of our ice cream in the occupied Palestinian
• 1:27
  territory. And of course anything to do with Israel is incredibly complicated, with
• 1:32
  thousands of years of history, and one might wonder if it might be out
• 1:36
  of the wheelhouse of mass producers of frozen sludge. Oh, this one was
• 1:42
  nice. Ben and Jerry's releases. Change is brewing flavor with Representative Corey Bush,
• 1:47
  says woke ice cream maker Ben and Jerry's has unveiled a new flavor whose
• 1:51
  proceeds will partly go to support lefty Representative Corey Bushes ten billion anti police bill,
• 1:57
  anti police bill that seeks to defund cops and replace them with social workers
• 2:04
  in certain incidents. So, in other words, it tastes like dead social
• 2:08
  workers. And of course we have the classic simply resist, and because they're
• 2:15
  woke, we could only assume that they mean resist common sense. And of
• 2:21
  course they're added again, because it never ends. The revolution could never end,
• 2:24
  even if you're a corporation that sells frozen sludge that will inevitably be destroyed
• 2:30
  by said revolution. And it says the United States was founded on stolen indigenous
• 2:36
  land. This fourth of July, let's commit to returning it. Well,
• 2:40
  you know, there's one thing that they could do, one very obvious thing
• 2:46
  that they could do right now, while they're headquartered in South Burlington, Vermont,
• 2:51
  in the United States. They could donate that to an indigenous group and
• 2:55
  then I'm sure lease it back at a very generous price. I'm sure so,
• 3:00
  I would say, Ben and Jerry's do that. I mean, if
• 3:05
  they meant what they said, they would do that, why are they waiting
• 3:09
  for anybody else? Why aren't they setting a good example? And I don't
• 3:14
  think they're not doing it because they're not woke. I think they definitely are
• 3:16
  woke. I think the people running that company are definitely woke. It's just
• 3:21
  that to be woke, you need to still reserve like one percent of reality,
• 3:27
  of just common sense in your brain somewhere somewhere hidden at the back.
• 3:30
  But you still need at least that one percent of reality to keep you functioning
• 3:36
  in the world. But again, it doesn't stop them from saying incredibly stupid
• 3:40
  things. So it says here that Ben and Jerry's, which opposes Israel's sovereignty,
• 3:45
  suggested the US start by giving back Mount Rushmore in South Dakota's Black Hills.
• 3:53
  Notably, they did not start with Vermont, where the Algonquin speaking Abenaki
• 3:59
  lived as part of the Wabanaki Confederacy. So I guess they know who to
• 4:03
  call. Just kind of feels like they're probably not going to Let's see.
• 4:09
  The ice cream company tells us that the Indigenous led land back movement is all
• 4:14
  about restoring the rights and freedoms of Indigenous people. It's about dismantling here we
• 4:18
  go white supremacy and systems of oppression, and ensuring that Indigenous people can again
• 4:26
  govern the land their communities called home for thousands of years. Then give your
• 4:30
  land back, just do it, do it right now. Look, this
• 4:34
  isn't the pre Columbian world anymore. It's not history is written. It is
• 4:39
  what it is. You can't just simply give back all of that. What
• 4:44
  does that even mean exactly? What does decolonization mean? Does that mean that
• 4:47
  we just pick up everything and go back to Europe, all the people of
• 4:51
  European descent. And does that mean all of the hospitals and the gas stations
• 4:57
  and the corner stores, just everything. No, I'm sorry. We have
• 5:00
  a modern, technological civilization and just completely burning down the foundations of it makes
• 5:06
  absolutely no sense. In fact, it's suicidal. And that's suicidal for all
• 5:11
  the people here, right, everybody living in North America needs to have a
• 5:15
  functioning civilization. Everyone does. I mean, all of this is just the
• 5:20
  rantings of an angsty teenager. That's it, an angsty teenager who has no
• 5:26
  life experience and has not thought through any of it. In fact, when
• 5:30
  you put it that way, maybe when Justin Trudeau was kicked out of office
• 5:32
  he could run Ben and Jerry's. He'd be perfect. But of course the
• 5:35
  Internet had something to say about this. Libby Emmons said, absolutely not.
• 5:40
  This is absolutely stupid and pandering nonsense. And I think that is just self
• 5:45
  evidently so. Ashley Saint Clair said, you stole the milk from cows to
• 5:49
  make your ice cream? Checkmate. Yeah, I'm sure they blocked her immediately
• 5:54
  after this comment. Yes, ROBERTA. Panahi just here for the ratio.
• 5:59
  You call me scrouts. How about from five times August sounds like it's time
• 6:04
  for Ben and Jerry's to donate one of their profits to indigenous people. Alex
• 6:11
  says, you're literally ice cream, and that does highlight the absurdity of all
• 6:15
  of this, doesn't it. Yes, this is the modern world. This
• 6:17
  is the absurdity of the modern world. Giant ice cream companies determined to destroy
• 6:24
  not only themselves but the very civilization in which they exist, and all over
• 6:30
  childish sentiments that would be embarrassing in a high school yearbook. Anyway, That's
• 6:34
  all I gotta say about that. Please subscribe blank and share. Sharing really
• 6:38
  helps me out. I thank you for that. I will see you next time.
