It's been a while since the article “8 Mind-Blowing Realities No One Told You About Informal Settlers” was published on 8-List, probably as a
defense for squatters (Sorry, I do not accept “informal settlers.”
Maybe “illegal settlers” is better). I couldn't immediately put
my foot on what's wrong with the article, though I said that it seemed “leftist.” I was not able to explain how it seemed
“leftist.” With a little more time available now, I'm able to
make a brief point-by-point rebuttal of this article which, though well-written, seems misguided in my view.
