Then I suggested that CBD could be a more organized and formal application of many of the tactics used in the examples, so I asked the group to identify the tactics they remembered, especially any the two cases had in common. Most of the following were among those identified and recorded on newsprint. Defenders refuse to collaborate. Defenders carry on with pre-invasion life. Peaceful demonstrations are held and exhibit disciplined nonviolence.
Defenders struggle to retain control of the social instruments that can be used for domination.
Defenders undermine occupiers' morale. Defenders make occupiers feel unwelcome. Defenders confront occupiers with the discrepancy between their self-image and their actions. Defenders provide a face-saving way out for the occupier. Then I asked the group to help me list the positive and negative aspects of applying a CBD model to the United States.
