Southpaw

This is part two and the final part of Sam's conversation with Japanese American concentration camp survivor and unapologetic revolutionary Mo Nishida. This will cover the second act of Mo's life along with his work and views as a revolutionary, his thoughts on the future, and how much he was influenced by not only science or political philosophy but also from the traditional knowledge of indigenous people as well as from revolutionaries in Africa. This is the through line from everything that happened to Mo as a young person to him becoming a revolutionary and what that actually means.

Kel Glaister from Melbourne in Motion joins Sam in an eye-opening discussion about parkour's radical potential, capitalism's influence on physical structures and street sports, oppressive constructs both physical and social, neo-Marxism and post-structuralism, urban design, public spaces, and existing in a male-dominated neoliberal society. Sometimes the best way to learn about capitalist structures is to ask a woman who runs around in it.

Zhang Weili (c) was not only fighting a racist meme shared by former champion Joanna Jędrzejczyk, but by the end of the fight, Zhang had turned Jędrzejczyk into a meme—making the metaphor literal.
