The country's most well-known maker of liberal pints of overthought ice cream said this week that America should give up U.S. land because it was "stolen" from other people like three centuries ago:

Hilarious. Hey - maybe they should go first:

On Friday, Don Stevens — chief of the Nulhegan Band of The Coosuk Abenaki Nation, one of four tribes descended from the Abenaki that are recognized in Vermont — told The Post ... that if the ice cream maker is "sincere," it should reach out to him as the company's corporate headquarters — located at 30 Community Dr. in South Burlington, Vt. — is situated on Western Abanaki land.

I mean, it doesn't get much simpler than that, right? Their own HQ is sitting on land those evil white people stole! Ben and Jerry aren't as evil as the rest of us colonizers, are they?? The only proper thing to do would be to hand the deed over to the local Abanaki tribe.

In all honesty, this is a pretty reasonable litmus test to see how committed the company is to actually living out its own silly aspirations. It wouldn't be hard to figure out some sort of functional transfer here — give the tribe the title to the property and pay them some kind of agreed-upon rent in perpetuity. If the crime of stolen land is so terrible, that's the least they could do. Why not do it?

Just don't offer to pay them in ice cream. Chief Stevens has tried Ben & Jerry's, and his endorsement is, well, not exactly ringing...

"It's a product like any other product."
