Sam talks to strength coach, powerlifter, former fencer, and researcher Marilia Coutinho, Ph.D. about living under a Brazilian fascist dictatorship, her time and trauma with clandestine Brazilian organizations, her theory of body alienation, finding healing through powerlifting, the marriage of class and race prejudice, having a utopian moral compass, why there's no magic pill to justice and reason, discrimination against different body types, anti-theism and white settler Christianity, liberation theology and anti-oppression, why fighting can be natural, the nonsense of gendering physical activities, and much, much more.
