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]

It's a fun tid bit to say that purple was a rare dye so it got used by and associated with royalty. Because it was rare it's also the least common colour on flags.

I don't think people associate it with royalty anymore now that we can mass produce all kinds of colours though.
