Without being an industry-forerider and having to camp someone's base 24 hours straight?
Yes or no would absolutely suffice as answer.
You may also elaborate on your answer.

If you're using catapults, you only need to defend the machine 1 hr before it's ready to use. Each hour you can damage a claim shield by 5k hp, it takes roughly 16 hours to regenerate that damage. This means if you camp a base for 4 hours each day, it will take you 7.6 days to break through and gain access to destroying structures/walls (1 hour "wasted" on waiting for the catapult to dry). Alternatively, sieging straight it should take you about 13 hours to knock down a claim shield. Once the shield is down, vandalism is possible and siege machines can damage walls/structures.
TLDR it's possible, quality isn't really that important, but it's a no life only option. There's also some mechanics that can be abused to make things essentially impossible by large factions apparently, but I won't claim to understand it.

How about palibashing? Is that still an option?

Thankfully not. The current system makes non-faction players have very cheap defense options that are good enough.
