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.

This is great, but I feel like it would have been more effective if they actually gave some of the food to empoverished people?

They were empoverished people themselves. Pretty much every single person of employment unions was unemployed, that was the common experience around which they organized their resistance. That was also at the core of some of their illegal actions, a “yeah this is illegal but we’re starving and if you arrest us you’ll have to feed us so either way we win.”

When marketing and consumerism is built on making you feel bad about yourself, which you’re told can only be fixed by buying their products, liking yourself is a radical action #fyourbeautystandards #radicalselflove #streetart #streetartmelbourne #melbournestreetart #iloveme #resist
