Why did monarchists have to steal my color? (lemmygrad.ml)

I love purple. I put it on everything. I love purple flowers, i love Ube yams, I love purple colors in art, I love purple clothes, etc. Etc.

So why do I have to have my favorite color associated with these stupid monarchists? [Note: I know why, purple was an extremely expensive color so it became the color of royalty]. Yes, I know, its not like everything purple is associated with the monarchy, but i see it enough to the point that it just bugs me. I hate monarchs, and monarchists are some of the most idiotic and insufferable people I've ever met, and they all stole my color.

[I know I'm being melodramatic. I'm not actually super upset because...well what would I do about it? But I'm also jealous of comrades who have red as their favorite color, for obvious reasons]

As a fellow purple enjoyer i feel you. Kinda. In my country one of the reformists called it his colour and it's most of the time associated with him now. Fortunately the monarchists aren't intelligent enough to find out about the colour's connection to themselves. Let's hope we can reclaim it.
