    Avoiding the notice of other groups is part of the hunter-gatherer lifestyle, is it not?

      It was a bit easier when the guys showing up to kick you out of your shelter were armed with sticks and rocks. Now they’ll show up vastly outnumbering you, out armoring you, and outgunning you.

        Well if you want to resist violently:

        They have sticks and rocks, you have sticks and rocks

        They have guns and bulletproof vests, you have guns and a bulletproof vest. Nobody is gonna RPG a squatters shack.

        The ability to take people with you hasn’t stopped with technology! (I am not advocating that)

          In my country it is very difficult to get bullet proof armor and guns are significantly regulated. Law enforcement or military would easily outarm and out number a squater.
