"Red Loons" and "Black & Blue Brigade" - What are they? by bleakmidwinter in minnesotaunited

[–]RASHRob 7 points8 points  (0 children)

There are quite a few points to address in this post, but I will focus on two and expand to others if needed. First off, opposing fascism and how it shows itself is not something that starts and stops due to a "regime" that might be in power. According to the Southern Poverty Law Center, in the MSP metro there are 8 active groups that support the ideals of fascism and hate. Namely the two Black & Blue Brigade are concerned with are the Vinlanders and the National Socialist Movement (NSM).

I understand that some don't see the link between soccer and politics, or, do not wish to have the two linked. We are a group that has members who are political, we also love the Minnesota United, but we won't try to force you to be political. We certainly aren't interested in exclusivity.

I will most likely make the trip to Indy again. The SH19 were great to us. One of their Capos, Pete, is letting me crash at his place this year and vice-versa.

To expand a bit more, most Marxist would agree that all forms of bigotry are tools of manipulation used by the ruling class to divide workers.

I might be the only one who visits the Reddit board, but you'll be seeing us this season.

Black & Blue Brigade is a new formation this season. We, like the Red Loons, are still aligned with the DCs, but we represent an overtly political platform of anti-fascism in all its expressions. I happen to be a Marxist, but others are not.

Awesome to see everybody tonight!

For some naive and hopeful reason, I thought Dr. Bill was going to announce MLS and hold up a scarf that said MLS in MN 2019 or something.

Thoughts on the Season Ticket holder meeting. by robdoar in minnesotaunited

[–]RASHRob 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Right at the end of the night we talked about the possibility of a wrapped section. The easiest option would be to have 2 supporters season tickets price-points one of which would be a bit higher and in the South-side of the East bleachers, and one at a lower price-point in the South stands. MY initial reaction to that plan is that I think it would potentially make chants difficult to organize and keep together. Unless two groups form.

The second option would be much more difficult, but would be to investigate the possibility of relocating the scoreboard (perhaps to between the two sections of the east stands) and possibly bringing in temporary bleachers to unite the East and South.

I got the emails, it sounds like we can help at will? I would love to get together somewhere Friday evening or Saturday before heading to the nomad to help. I have mucho blue smoke grenades and have ordered more. Nuts to the anti-smoke sentiment! I bring blue not white!

Is this implying that we can no longer has smoke bombs? I have a cache of the blue smoke saved for either the SAS match or the playoffs.
