The Tiger Bloc Podcast

9 - Jake Hanrahan | Popular Front


Listen Later

This week on the Tiger Bloc Podcast, we’re excited to share with you our conversation with Jake Hanrahan, the journalist best know for his conflict journalist project, Popular Front.  Popular Front reports on underreported conflicts from around the world. Jake has been all over, to places like Artsakh, Ukraine, and Rojava. We talked about what makes Popular Front unique — it’s entirely listener funded.   When examining global conflicts, one of the things that Jake shared with us was the democratization of anti-government techniques and strategies. From the use of commercial drones, to Internet forums to share strategies, and even 3D printing firearms from free plans online.   


Of course, many of our followers may know Jake from his documentary Plastic Defense, where he spoke to JStark, one of the designers behind the Fuck Gun Control 9 (FGC-9). The FGC-9 is a special gun, one that can be assembled with a 3D printer and a pipe using no actual firearm parts.   In America, there’s a tendency for legacy media and American residents to view foreign conflicts through an American lens.

We talked about how legacy media not only ignores nuance, but so do Western leftists, disregarding nuance to fit preconceived ideological schema.   We also wanted to talk to Jake about his new podcast, Megacorp. On the show, Jake explores and exposes the behavior or the world’s most unethical corporations. And where better to start than Amazon.   We talked with Jake about how Amazon has managed to amass the powers one would normally associate with a state — vast wealth and a lack of accountability to any laws excepts its own. All while Amazon abuses workers, some of whom have died in its warehouses.   But how to stop it? Unionization would be the natural answer. But even though interest in unions is growing in the United States, the unionization rate overall remains low. And in the UK, the younger generation seems to have have lost interest. 

This all may seem like unrepentant doomerism, but as Jake said, “If Rome fell this shit can.” What do young people have to lose?
