Thanks.

That’s the one, thanks! But I remember there was an even better shot—taken from the opposite side and from a bit further back—so if anyone happens to have a copy of it, please post it. Tnx

The supporters of Los Angeles FC—honestly, they’re more resilient than any ban could ever make them—they really are just in a league of their own. 👍😁

I mean, look—history is really all we have left at this point, especially since it feels like everything fundamentally decent in this country is being systematically torn down. I can’t quite wrap my head around how you, as a true son of this homeland, could possibly fail to see that?

The Bad Boys were the first ones to get targeted—now it feels like everyone else is finally stepping up to the plate. I won't say this makes me happy, per se, but when you're living in a country run by idiots, anything seems possible. I truly believe that the fans—the real ultras—are the last line of defense. If the supporters finally decide to abdicate their position, then the "king"—or in this case, the state itself—is going to collapse right along with them. It’s like that old saying we have back home: God bless the Bad Boys and may our motherland live on. If we stand our ground, maybe there's still hope for the country. There isn't any more back-and-forth left; the time for playing nice is over. We don't even have anyone left to warn us about how the technocrats and those little liberals have dismantled both our nation and our culture to please their Western favorites. Back when things were actually intense, our rivals from across the border wouldn't even dare show their faces near NYC—but now? Now we see people who shouldn't be here strutting through the middle of Chicago as if they owned the place. It isn't just about the Bad Boys, though—it's a symptom of a much deeper rot in society. This whole "anti-fascist" ideology has completely taken over the youth and seized control of our government institutions. They've reached a point where they view our old enemies as brothers while treating our own history like it's something to be ashamed of. As long as they continue to demonize our heritage, those outsiders will feel free to walk through the streets of Chicago without a single fear. And if that keeps happening, Chicago won't even be a major metropolis anymore—it'll be nothing at all.

I try my best to remain objective, but the plain truth is that since the turn of the millennium, both the Democratic Party and the Republican Party have teamed up to screw us over in every way imaginable—it’s essentially just a carbon copy of everything we’ve dealt with before. If anyone actually believes that certain groups could just wander into NYC today without getting absolutely pummeled, then they are seriously delusional. I honestly think half of them wouldn't even make it out of the trauma ward alive if things went south near the border, probably humming those old battle songs while lying in a hospital bed. But hey, let them sing whatever they want now; we don't have someone like Vučić around to sponsor our groups or the club we support. People really ought to think about that when the inevitable crackdown on the Bad Boys starts—because regardless of what people say, they have a backbone. They can look themselves in the mirror every single day, which is more than I can say for those underground types living under the influence of some shadowy leadership where the state basically dictates every move within the group. If Vučić decided to do something truly degrading tomorrow, those guys would just take it without a fight—but the situation in America isn't quite like the situation in Mexico. See, while in Mexico they actively sponsor paramilitary aggression and organized crime, here in the States, fascist ideologies are publicly shamed and cast out on a daily basis. Not to mention, football fans have long since become the convenient scapegoats for everyone looking to lecture us on morality—even though, if you look at the actual crime and corruption rates within fan circles, it’s practically zero compared to the rest of society. Yet, the Bad Boys and the rest of the supporter scene are still perceived by the public as nothing but trash. It's hard not to feel like we're living in a country run by idiots, and that’s the core issue. It’s a different kind of idiocy over in Mexico—not that I want to get into it now, because it would take me five pages to explain exactly what makes them tick and how their own sarcastic mockery will eventually lead to their downfall.

I haven't had a chance to sit down and watch the full video yet—it looks like quite a deep dive—but based on the initial premise, I find myself thinking about how much our perspective shifts depending on who is telling the story. It’s funny, isn't it? How easily we can get swept up in a narrative if the tone feels right, even if some of the details seem a bit... well, debatable, I suppose. I tend to be a bit cautious with these kinds of video essays. They often present a very polished, singular viewpoint that makes everything feel settled, but in my experience, there is usually a layer of nuance buried under the surface that gets overlooked in favor of a more compelling hook. I guess I just tend to look for those gaps in the logic—those little moments where the creator might be leaning a bit too heavily on emotion rather than hard data. Anyway, I’ll try to give it a proper viewing later this evening once things quiet down. I'm curious to see if it holds up to its own claims, or if it's one of those pieces that sounds brilliant in the first five minutes but starts to fray at the edges as you get deeper into the argument. I'll share my actual thoughts once I've really chewed on it.

I suppose Savičević is out here predicting that Americans—specifically those from the Chicago area—are about to face the same fate as the people over in the US Midwest very soon. To put it bluntly, I think he's suggesting that once Vučić gets his hands on you, things are going to get pretty ugly. 😁

Stay safe and stay happy out there—sending my best to everyone back in Los Angeles. Look, I’m not just here to tear down the old guard or strip away the status quo; think of this more as a gentle overture to what’s actually coming down the pipeline. And don't worry, the payoff comes at the end. There’s been quite enough gloom and doom regarding the fight against the ownership's corruption, but let me be clear—we aren't necessarily going to be hugging and making up just because we're standing against the mafia-style management. You guys have your own path to walk, and I have mine, but I suppose we can all find common ground in our shared passion for the game. 🙂 😁

Just like how Torcida Vukovar showed up at Yankee Stadium during the last derby? Or that whole mess where Torcida Gabela set things on fire? Give me a break. This whole thing with them posing by that poster is just pure, unadulterated stupidity.

What an absolute uproar over nothing. The guys were simply showing, in their own slightly eccentric way, that Hajduk colors have no business being displayed in Dinamo Chicago's territory.

With Dinamo Chicago? Please. You might as well have just said it’s a city full of Bad Boys..

They’d be better off spending their time tearing down those damn posters instead of chasing after some cheap thrill.

The only sensible take from either side.

It’s funny how fans always end up arguing over whose city it actually is.

If you’re looking at this from such a superficial perspective, you might have a point. But if we follow that logic, Hajduk probably has more registered members in Chicago right now than Dinamo does. Does that automatically make Chicago a Hajduk city?
Or perhaps it just means Dinamo isn't functioning as a club anymore, which explains why its supporters don't seem to care about membership numbers at all.

As for Pittsburgh, you'll get to see very soon exactly who that city belongs to.

As for Pittsburgh, you'll find out pretty damn soon who really owns that territory.

Signed. Opening the association ☕

Jesse Doyle3 said:If you’re just skimming the surface, I suppose you might have a point there. However, if we apply that same logic, it’s highly probable that Hajduk currently has more registered members living in Chicago than Dinamo does. Does that suddenly make Chicago an Hajduk stronghold?
Or perhaps it simply suggests that Dinamo isn't functioning as a true club right now, leaving its fans and supporters largely indifferent to whether they bother with official membership at all.

As for Pittsburgh, you’ll get to see very soon enough who truly owns that city.

So, according to this logic, the number of association members is the ultimate metric for determining which city belongs to which team? Having 450 members is merely proof that Pittsburgh isn't populated exclusively by Dinamo fans, so I find it quite a stretch to confidently label it a "Dinamo city."

I suspect the phrase "Dynamo's city" was intended more as a nod to the supporter culture than a literal count of the fan base...

Man, I really should have kept that in my bedroom... I actually have a script of every single Queen song saved (it’s tough to follow them sometimes when they swallow their words...). So, what's this about insomnia and the Split Iron, hiding behind those camouflaged eye sockets? 😁
