The Tiger Bloc Podcast – Details, episodes & analysis

It’s great to be back with everyone on the Tiger Bloc Podcast! On this episode, John Chinaman interviews Ukrainian antifascist and anti-authoritarian Dmytro Mrachnik. Dmytro has been fighting in Ukraine since the full-scale Russian invasion in 2022. Please bear with us on the sound quality. With power and internet failures in Ukraine, this podcast had to be a recorded phone call.

Dmytro takes us back to 2014 and the Maidan Revolution, when he was hanging in the Kyiv punk rock scene. Dmytro gives us his perspective as a dual Russian and Ukrainian speaker and dispels myths about supposed discrimination against Russian speakers.

Dmytro describes how the left reacted to the Maidan and Russian invasion in 2014, and what changed in 2022 with an increased left wing response and militancy. As is depressingly common, Dmytro also relates the lack of an international left-wing response to assist the Ukrainian left, even two years after the full-scale invasion. 

Dmytro also talks a bit about what army life is like. Dmytro fought in both the Kharkiv and Bakhmut fronts. Since joining the military, he’s actually risen in the ranks to first lieutenant. Listen to the podcast to learn about the experience of an antifascist in the military.

Dmytro is a prolific writer about politics and Ukrainian culture. You can find his writings on nihilist.li and Anarchist Library.

In this week’s episode of the Tiger Bloc Podcast, the YPT folks talk more in-depth about competitive shooting. And who better to speak about it than Master Class USPSA Shooter, Katon?

Soju Operator, Chinaman, and finally returning Kalashnikoffing sit down with Katon to discuss the world of USPSA competitive shooting, the benefits of shooting in competition, the misconceptions “tactical” shooters have regarding competition shooting, how to shoot better, how to teach new shooters, and why Warrior Poet Society sucks.

You might have heard of them in recent headlines but for those not in the know, Tenacious Unicorn Ranch is an LGBTQIA+ sanctuary located in Westcliffe, Colorado. Founded by Penny Logue, TUR was built to act as a safe place for trans and queer individuals to escape the cis/het, capitalist hellscape world through communal land ownership, farming, firearms training, skill-building, and of course, taking care of adorable fluffy alpacas.

Together Soju, John, Penny, and J discuss how the ranch was founded, their experiences fighting off white supremacists, community building, firearms, escaping capitalism, and why alpacas are the greatest thing ever.

On this episode of the Tiger Bloc Podcast, Snow and Soju Operator are excited to have a special friend on board as our guest of the week: Artorias Tactical. Hailing from the Portland area, Artorias is a firearms enthusiast, anarchist activist, martial artist, community defender, and expert level shit poster. Many will have known of him by now from his Instagram firearms training videos, equipment posts and of course his leftist memes.

Together, the three of them discuss firearms training, the importance of building a gun space for non-cist het white people, teaching others, community building, shitty martial arts, and coining new phrases.

Welcome to a very special episode of The Tiger Bloc Podcast! This time around, we’re featuring our most interesting guests yet: ourselves (again)!

Together the YPT gang takes the time to reflect upon the absurdity that was the year 2021 by reminiscing on their achievements, the lessons they’ve learned, what they wish to do in 2022, and how Star Wars probably doesn’t have the best Asian representation (RIP Gureni Telsij, true hero of the Battle of Endor).
