In this episode of the Tiger Bloc podcast, we dive into some hot-button issues currently shaking up the world of USPSA: The growing controversy surrounding transgender athletes in the sport. In recent months, the USPSA Board of Directors has been in deep debate over how trans athletes should be categorized—discussions have included proposals like hormone testing and other verification methods.

Soju Operator is joined by returning guest Evo and newcomer All Branch No Tree to unpack the current landscape for transgender competitors, explore how broader political and cultural tensions are impacting the shooting sports community, and brainstorm possible new approaches to athlete categorization.

We are very glad to bring you an interview with our friend Azad from the Antifascist Internationalist Front, currently fighting against Myanmar’s Military Junta in Chin State, Myanmar. 

We at YPT have been supporting the struggle against the junta for a while, so we were really excited to talk to Azad about his unit, made up of internationalists who have traveled to the country to fight the coup government. Listen to the podcast to find out the situation in Chin State, the weapons and tactics of the resistance, and the women’s revolution within the revolution. Our hosts also talk to Azad about his previous service with the YPG and what we can learn from the revolution in both Syria and Myanmar. As a bonus, definitely listen to learn why YPT won’t be traveling to Turkey anytime soon!

This podcast is a recording of a December 13, 2024 live reading and Q&A session conducted by our friend James Stout. James is one of the foremost investigative journalists working today in the foreign policy arena, reporting on things like the civil war in Myanmar against the military junta, and on migration through the Darien Gap. 

In this presentation, James reads a chapter from his forthcoming book Against the State and takes questions about Rojava, revolution, and antifascism. Also during this event, James and Yellow Peril Tactical were able to raise almost $650 for the Kurdish Red Crescent (Heyva Sor a Kurd) and Tekoşîna Anarşîst, anarchist internationalists currently fighting in AANES against Turkish-funded forces.

We look forward to sharing more ways to support the struggle in Rojava on YPT this year!

On this week’s episode of the Tiger Bloc Podcast, the woman, the myth, the legend, Tacticool Girlfriend returns!  TCGF is a firearms content creator who provides informative videos on firearm usage, safety, and ownership. Her channel aims to offer a fresh perspective within the firearms community, focusing on responsible and practical firearm ownership. Basically, think of firearms education without the baggage of shitty right wing politics.

SInce we last spoke, TCGF has grown her channel to over 62K subscribers, continued in gear review and training content, and competed in brutality matches with none other than Karl and Russell from Inrange TV. Recently she has had to unfortunately announce the end of future content product of her channel as she moves on to new endeavors in life.

Together, Soju Operator, Yoshiko, and TCGF reflect upon the past few years on firearms content on Youtube, the dynamics between companies and influencers, and the realities of leftist ownership of firearms.

This week on the Tiger Bloc Podcast, we are very pleased to be able to bring you an interview with some homies from the Upstate New York chapter of the Socialist Rifle Association to talk about organizing in places hostile to firearm ownership. We know that a lot of you live in places like California or New York with laws and culture that make it hard to get firearms and training. UNY SRA tells us how they nevertheless have persevered. Together Soju Operator and John Chinaman talk what the New York legal environment is like, how to get a gun and train, how UNY SRA is working to spread a message of positive and safe firearm ownership in a generally unreceptive environment, and why, in a ban state, you should still get an AR and not a Mini 14.

Check our Instagram and Twitter for pictures of some of the things we talked about on the podcast. And you can find UNY SRA on Instagram or Twitter at @sra_upstateny, and check out their LinkTree at https://linktr.ee/unysra

On this week’s episode of the Tiger Bloc Podcast, we have the return of the one and only Alana McLaughlin, Lady Feral herself! 

For those who missed our previous episode featuring her, Alana is the second ever openly transgender woman mixed martial arts fighter, who had her first professional fight under Combate Global. She is also a leftist activist, firearms owner, and community organizer currently doing outreach work in the Pittsburgh area. 

Since our last conversation, the current climate for her fight career faced nearly insurmountable challenges. With the overwhelming transphobia that permeates the world of Mixed Martial Arts continually perpetuated by the lies of far-right bigots, Alana has unfortunately been unable to find an opponent willing to fight her. Her newly released documentary film, “Unfightable”, details her difficulty navigating life as a trans fighter and finding the inner strength to push forward.

Together, Soju Operator, John Chinaman, and Alana discuss the increased culture of transphobia within the sport of MMA, dispel anti-trans myths within sports, explain why Jake Shields is a total jackass, and elaborate on what being an ally means.

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.

Find Dima on Instagram at @mrachnik, on Twitter at @dmrachnik, or email at [email protected]. For more writings on Nihilist, check out the editor Romeo Kokriatski on Twitter at @VagrantJourno.

We’re finally back at it. This week, (some of) the boys are back in town for another absurd episode. Katon and Evo once again return this time alongside YPT contributors Soju Operator and Kalashnikoffing. For those who missed the last episode, Katon is a newly minted  USPSA Grand Master Class level shooter under the Carry Optics division and Evo is a security and EMT professional currently working towards medical school. 

As one can imagine, only the SPICEST of takes are discussed here. Together, they cover various topics in regard to the firearms space including what it takes to reach Grand Master level, firearms training myths perpetuated by the left, process vs results-oriented training, why the idea of “gatekeeping” in the competitive shooting space is mostly bullshit, shit talking Tu Lam, and why MIRA Safety is a total joke of company.
