Fun fact: in the 80′s the Dutch Unemployed Union held ‘fridge raids’ to protest against poverty.
They’d find out when a politician of big boss who upheld poverty and starvation wages was speaking at some public even, then they’d carefully break into his house with a LOT of people and they would eat EVERY piece of food in his house and leave the empty dished behind without taking anything else.
Direct action at its finest.
We should bring this back.
Unfortunately, I couldn’t find any sources on this besides this Tumblr post, so imma have to call bullshit on it
I mean I have seen weird protest and punishment cases before, this doesnt sound farfetched.
Yeah, but I’d expect some sources, and I couldn’t find any. Couldn’t even find anything on an unemployed union in my country
When a post has 78.500 notes it really helps to scroll through the
comments for a bit, I’ve already provided sources about 19 times by now.

A lot has happened in activist history and very few of those stories can be found through a 5 minute google. Some were never even in the media and are only preserved in activist zines that are not included in major newspaper archives.
It’s okay to not assume that stories without sources are true, but stating that stories are bullshit because you were unable to verify them through an internet search is its own kind of ignorance, one that erases a lot of the history of activism because the media has never given a shit about us.
