@hakan_geijer now I’m imagining a commune growing around an occupied medieval castle. If the cops come we simply barricade ourselves inside. What can they even do at that point? (Except a siege I guess, I suppose we should keep large amounts of canned food and water and stuff inside, and some solar panels and batteries and stuff… we could even build a wind turbine)

@hakan_geijer i love how anachronistic this is. I suppose the threat is, as it was back then, ladders.

@hakan_geijer I think it’s kind of funny how with cops not (usually) using stuff like heavy artillery, tactics of activists in some ways resemble medieval warfare. I mean an eviction attempt is a kind of siege, and so occupations use tactics against a siege, somewhat like in a time of history when sieges were very common.

@hakan_geijer ofc the cops will eventually win the siege if they keep trying, with how a castle also prevents outside support from coming in, while the cops have all the ressources and support they need. It depends on how much effort they are willing to put in.
