37 - Solidarity Collectives and Solidrone - Drone Warfare Feb 11, 2026

Show notes

As Russia’s invasion of Ukraine continues, the war has increasingly become defined by one piece of technology—drones. We’ve brought our friends from Solidrones and Solidarity Collectives to explain it all to you.

Solidrones is a mutual aid effort from the Czech Republic building drones to send to Ukraine. Solidarity Collectives you’ve probably heard before on our podcast and from our work with them over the years. Solidrones and Solidarity Collectives are doing important work supplying anarchist and anti-authoritarian fighters.

Together, they explain the types of drones used, and how they’re made. Since the technology is rapidly evolving, John Chinaman and the crew talk about everything from droppers/bombers, to FPVs, and wire-guided models. The team also discusses the strengths and weaknesses of anti-drone measures like jamming and kinetic drone destruction. Listen to learn tactics used in the field like shooting drones down with shotguns, and even how to build them.

35 - Belarusians Fighting Russia in Ukraine ft. Charlie Jul 11, 2025

Show notes

We are back on the Tiger Bloc Podcast! This episode, we’ve got returning guest “Charlie,” with us to talk about Belarusian foreign fighters in Ukraine fighting against Russia. You may remember Charlie from our podcast with Ukrainian mutual aid group Solidarity Collectives.

An underreported aspect of the war in Ukraine is the participation of Belarusian political dissidents fighting on the Ukrainian side. Charlie is Belarusian, and with John Chinaman, she discusses the recent history of the authoritarian Lukashenko regime and the people who fled.

After Russia invaded Ukraine (again) in 2022, Charlie explains why people like her fight, how they’re organized, and her experiences as a combat medic. It was a privilege to be able to talk to her about her work and the people who have their lives fighting against fascism.

John and Charlie also talk about Marsy, a comrade to Charlie and so many other antifascists in Ukraine. A veteran of the revolution in Rojava, Marsy was killed fighting near Avdiivka on November 11, 2023.

To support Charlie, donate for our friends with Solidarity Collectives, @solidaritycollectives on Instagram

31 - Against the State by James Stout Mar 01, 2025

Show notes

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!

29 - Upstate NY SRA Nov 18, 2024

Show notes

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

28 - Unfightable (Ft. Alana McLaughlin) Oct 16, 2024

Show notes

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.
