This is activism, every thread about activism no matter whether it's something like this or climate change protests (where this sub complained the protesters 'broke the law by breaching private property')

Which they did, if we are talking about the same incident, they trespassed on private land even after being told they would not be allowed access.

we're trained to be first obedient students then obedient workers then obedient citizens, and complain about anyone taking any form of action that isn't apathetically accepting the way things are.

Take off the tin foil hat mate we aren't trained, it's just most of us see this sort of stuff as massively counter productive and largely ineffective. This will not garner any sympathy for the protesters, it's petulant and massively childish.

The suffragettes smashed windows during protests and the response in the press was similar to any form of protest or activism today.

Thank God we've moved on from those times and civilization has become smarter, if you want real change chucking a few thousand cock roaches isnt going to do anything to help your cause.

Yes it was a bit gross, yes some people eating who clearly don't care about the actions of the place

Or people eating there who have no idea what's gone on, people with their families or partners just trying to have a nice meal.

got their meal ruined, good, hopefully companies won't employ illegal immigrants for years then shatter their lives by setting them up to be handed over to immigration.

And how do we actually know this place set them up? To me it seems much more likely they were shoehorned in to a position by immigration officers saying either hand them over or go to court.

Can I ask what good you think these act has done for the cause?
