Ben Cohen moved to Vermont in 1977 and co-founded the world’s most liberal ice cream company. You may think you disagree with him on everything. But take a second and hear him out on the Ukraine war.
Ben Cohen moved to Vermont in 1977 and co-founded an ice cream company that bears his name, Ben and Jerry's. They made great ice cream, they still do. Ben Cohen became famous for his liberal political activism. The ice cream was great, his political opinions were deeply offensive to most conservatives. Fast forward to 2022, and Ben Cohen was one of the only liberals in the United States to come out against the war in Ukraine. It seems like good moment to pause and reconsider whether some of Ben Cohen's views on war are maybe not insane. Maybe they're worth hearing.
