The story you’re replying to happened in the United States.
There was nothing noble about it. The squatters stole someone’s house and prevented them from occupying it. This wasn’t noble squatters versus evil landlords leaving houses empty. My friend literally bought a house for his family and someone squatted in it before he could move in.
Amazing that such a comment would come along and prove the point I was making: Some people can look an obvious injustice dead on, ignore the details, inject their own imagined narrative with victim and perpetrator reversed, and claim moral superiority for the perpetrator.
I haven't seen any indicator of that at the time. Your comment does not mention anything in it about the US. Everyone is reading as if it happened in Spain. I don't even know whether occupying is possible in the US, bar a few specific states in certain conditions.
Regardless, it could have happened in Spain, and this is a topic related to Spain, my earlier comment still serves to make a statement in relation to the actual topic at hand.
It's important to remember property rights vary by state, somewhat drastically.
We'd just be taking the scenic route to roughly what we have, except I'm short a bunch of ammo.
Yeah, it would be shocking to those who are used to the godly rights of the property owners on their property like in the US.
> It’s more fun to imagine these people as noble warriors against an unjust society
You don't need to imagine it. They are: Their presence coupled with actual ocupas forces the real estate owners to actually use the real estate they own instead of losing it to ocupas. They either put their relatives in them, rent them or sell them.
