406 / Martial Arts as Liberation / Sam, LMA

Sam from Liberation Martial Arts articulates and demonstrates his pedagogic approach to martial arts training, rooted in anti-authoritarian and decolonial theory and praxis. LMA is intended to be liberatory. What does that mean? Is martial arts, as it’s broadly defined and commonly practiced and instructed, not liberatory? If so, why? // Episode notes: https://www.lastborninthewilderness.com/episodes/sam-lma // Sustain + support: https://www.patreon.com/lastborninthewilderness // Donate: https://www.paypal.me/lastbornpodcast // Subscribe: https://pod.link/1169842000 [ EP 406 / REC 07.14.2026 / REL 07.25.2026 ]

405 / Why Iran is Winning / Indrajit Samarajiva

I am joined by returning guest Indrajit Samarajiva, also known as Indi or Indica. We pick up from our last interview, when we discussed White Empire, its decline, the Axis of Resistance, and the shifting terrain of warfare. Namely, I asked Indi how he understands the United States (the head of the White Empire) and Israel’s war of aggression on Iran and why and how Iran has successfully fought back, effectively won, and asserted its sovereignty, and what this portends for the future of the US and Israel and their expansionist aims. // Episode notes: https://www.lastborninthewilderness.com/episodes/indrajit-samarajiva-2 // Sustain + support: https://www.patreon.com/lastborninthewilderness // Donate: https://www.paypal.me/lastbornpodcast // Subscribe: https://pod.link/1169842000 [ EP 405 / REC 05.27.2026 / REL 06.08.2026 ]

404 / How We Speak of Animals / Kollibri terre Sonnenblume

I’m joined in this episode by returning guest Kollibri terre Sonnenblume—writer, photographer, tree-hugger, animal lover, occasional farmer, and cultural dissident. We begin by discussing the theme of Kollibri’s essay, Stop Insulting Animals: We must own our own culture and selves, a piece that addresses how we speak about animals—the bad metaphors, clumsy euphemisms, and casual degradations of more-than-human life in common parlance—revealing something deeply rooted in the dominant culture. It may seem trivial, but examining language unveils how deeply unexamined human supremacism is.  Our discussion then moves into the subject of Sonnenblume’s upcoming piece examining one of the main drivers of habitat loss globally: industrial agriculture. We excavate the roots of this ever-expanding paradigm of food production and land use, going back to the Neolithic Revolution millennia ago and the Industrial Revolution centuries ago, and how we are reaching hard material limits presently, with extinction-level outcomes. // Episode notes: https://www.lastborninthewilderness.com/episodes/kollibri-terre-sonnenblume-2 // Sustain + support: https://www.patreon.com/lastborninthewilderness // Donate: https://www.paypal.me/lastbornpodcast // Subscribe: https://pod.link/1169842000 [ EP 404 / REC 05.09.2026 / REL 06.01.2026 ]
