âPurple jobs are unskilled jobs.â
Have any of you ever-ever made silk pants??
Today the Voan federal government has unveiled the new Department of Transition, a subdepartment of Domestic Affairs, and announced that they will begin cleaning Voan reds on a model similar to Tapaâs. An initial batch will be selected to be sent to Miolee while domestic facilities are in progress. The Department is soliciting comment about how to avoid exacerbating the purple/other caste ratio skew in the process and comments can be submitted here with your Voan Citizen Number.

The whole âpurples are dumb! all they do is deliver food and sweep floors!â perspective is so ridiculous that the only reason anyone believes it is casteism.
Purples design spacecraft. Purples create prosthetic limbs, x-ray machines, and medical instruments. Purples improve manufacturing processes. Purples planned every road, building, airport, tunnel, dam, and bridge youâve ever encountered in your entire life.
The average purple IQ is lower than the average green IQ, sure. But there are a lot of purples. Many of the smartest people in the world are purple.
I think one of the underrecognized problems with the caste system is that all our knowledge comes from greens. Our stories are written by greens; our art and music are made by greens; our anthropology and economics are conducted by greens; our theology and philosophy are written by greens.Â
Every way we have as Amentans to communicate with each other about Amentan experiences is dominated by greens and green perspectives.Â
Does a purple feel comfortable telling the complete truth to a green anthropologist? Do our movies and books and poetry tend to be about themes that are emotionally resonant to greens, at the expense of other castes? Are there subtle ways the green perspective distorts theology and philosophy, making some ideas more plausible than they would seem to an audience of oranges or yellows?Â
Itâs hard to know.
And all of this is strongly guided, circumscribed, originating from decisions made by, manipulated by, itself distorted by, and so on, by blues.
âall of our knowledge comes from greensâ is shitty phrasing but this is pointing at something important
i think itâd be more accurate to say thatâ the knowledge thatâs /formalized/ is the knowledge that comes from greens and guided/manipulated/distorted (depending on your point of view) by blues
they donât control our knowledge and ideas. weâre gonna have those no matter what greens and blues say. but theyâre the ones making the rules of whose knowledge and ideas are taken seriously. and thatâs important to notice and fight against.
I survived an abusive relationship. At this point I have talked to and worked with hundreds of people in abusive relationships.
Guess what? telling us to leave never works.
ever.
I could write a post about ways to help people leave.
Iâll probably do that one day.
but donât be that person in the mean time.
This is real quick off the cuff but:
AN ABBREVIATED GUIDE TO âholy shit my friend is in an abusive relationshit what do I doâ
1. Donât start shit with the abuser. Your friend? Will pay for it.
I once had a friend slap my abuser.
I am not going to tell you the price I paid b/c Iâve already puked once today and I would like to not do it again.
I once threatened a friendâs abuser.
I almost lost that friend over it.
Donât do the thing.
2. Â Understand that the abuser is going to be isolating them.
They may be telling your friend how terrible you are. Any slight- no matter how small will be played up into a big thing. and even if the friend doesnât hold it against you- it will probably effect how much they reach out to you.
Abusers like to tell their marks things like âOh? A missed your call. Its because they hate you and think you complain too muchâ
The best way I can tell you to combat that- is just⌠donât hold it against them. If they withdraw, donât be that person like âwell if you really cared about me youâd have fought for meâÂ
The people who helped the most were those that I felt like.. I could go weeks without talking to and then theyâd still listen if I got the courage to come back around.Â
If you can- work with them to try and schedule things so that they can have support without their abuser getting suspicious. School projects, open places. shit like that.
3. Donât argue with them that shit is abusive.
Donât be that person. It will make them feel unsafe with you.
The friends who argued were friends I lost. They were the ones it was easiest for him to make go. Cause hereâs the thing⌠people view isolating as an abuser saying âyou canât talk to them!â and a lot of times its not that.. its an abuser sitting down and saying in a real quiet voice âyou two argue a lot, and they arenât respecting you. But Iâll always be here for you okay?â Â
The most you can do is say âhey.. you know you deserve better than that right?â and if they argue go âIâm not going to argue with you. I donât want to upset you.Â
4. If they ask for resources, help them get them.
Donât offer them unless asked or it will turn into a fight and see above.
5. If they say theyâre out of options- help them brain storm ones.
hereâs an easy opening to ask if itâs okay to help them find resources.
donât shove.
6. Be nice to them. consistently.
Too many people were too busy trying to convince me that he was a bad guy- that spending time with them just hurtâŚ
and at least when I was with him it only hurt some of the time.
I got out because I had 4-5 good friends who I had good times with and I finallyâŚ. there was the light of âoh god this is what healthy relationships feel like. â
7. Donât shove. Donât pressure.
You can say âIâll be here for you when youâre ready to leaveâ
You can remind them of this occasionally.
But donât be a coercive dick.
Donât be gross.
Donât hurt people being abused.
That should not be that hard of a lesson.
Donât say victim blaming shit to convince them to leave.,
Donât threaten to leave them if they donât leave.
Donât be gross.
I need to remind myself of this every day because i can get in a state where all i wanna think about is hurting their abuser but if ur like that as well u need to understand that a lot of that rage is just you wanting revenge on your own abuser. But this isnât about you. Stay as calm as you can. Stay away from their abuser as much as you can. Support your friend.
That person absolutely deserved to die. The only reason Evalee didn't go down like Orvara is because they did. Fucking cleenz.
âcleenzâ just say âpurplesâ
why are you following my blog if you hate purples this much. js
if the price of red rights is killing clean people, that doesnât mean killing clean people is correct
it means red rights is wrong
internalized clap anti clap purple clap casteism clap is clap still clap anti clap purple clap casteism
i mean
yes?
and like, itâs fine if you personally never show sympathy or friendship towards purples w anti purple casteism, but i'm not gonna stop reaching out in solidarity with other purples even if theyâre problematic
i mean iâm still gonna call them out when they express anti purple views but i still think that they can be fundamentally decent people who deserve friendship and support?
uhhhh if you think someone can be pro-red and pro-purple you're deluding yourself. to be pro-red is INHERENTLY anti-purple. every pro-red policy is purple oppression in more or less disguise.
oh yeah donât get me wrong almost all pro-red policies are anti-purple as all fuck
but a lot of pro-red purples are misguided potential allies and itâs better to win people over by emphasizing our shared interests and experiences than to just look at a person suffering under anti-purple casteism and go âoh but you arenât educated and radical enough to reject your own oppression that society has successfully convinced you that you deserve so i guess iâm just going to condemn you without any nuance instead of having an ounce of empathy & kindness"
Because so-called red rights people are cruel monsters who want nothing except to shatter all we hold dear. Obviously.
eh, not all of them
there are red rights people who i consider potential allies and friends
theyâre just not the ones who come into peopleâs inboxes to say âinnocent people deserve to die! also cleenz suckâ
(coincidentally, all the red rights people i know who are decent are also⌠purple. wow. what a shocking revelation. i am so surprised right now. itâs almost as if some purple red rights activists are fellow victims of purple oppression who are extending their solidarity too far due to being misinformed by people preying on their empathy and/or seeing themselves as âbasically just clean redsâ due to persistent anti-purple cultural messages, while nonpurple red rights activists are almost all just using their âstrong political viewsâ as a smokescreen to hide the fact that they hate purples and like harassing us and talking about how uneducated we are and how we should die and how purples having opinions and boundaries is the same as structural oppression! but no, we all know that canât be it. obviously. /s)
That person absolutely deserved to die. The only reason Evalee didn't go down like Orvara is because they did. Fucking cleenz.
âcleenzâ just say âpurplesâ
why are you following my blog if you hate purples this much. js
oh also even if the massacre WAS the only reason evaleeâs doing better than orvara, which is a heck of an assumption that still wouldnât mean a random innocent person deserved to die. what the fuck is wrong with you, anon
also ⌠how is being like orvara bad?? they managed a transition to a clean country without anyone dying, something no other country has accomplished! theyâre doing really well! orvara is /really successful/ right now!
honestly? point
there are just so many things that are issues with this ask that i didnât even know where to start
cmon red rightsers biyan is right there why did you go for the place that in fact did better than evalee depending on how you measure it (for example, significantly fewer massacres and kidnappings!)
seriously though how do you say âinnocent people totally deserved to dieâ and still.... remain convinced that youâre the good guy. anonâs mindset is so wild to me on so many levels

sheâd have been eleven this spring
i canât say i knew her very well. she was my sisterâs friend, not mine, and i never paid super close attention to her friends.
she was nice to me, though, even though i was little. sheâd ask questions about what i was learning in school. one time my sister was late getting home from computer club and she showed me how to unlock the secret island in waterleapers. i didnât know anyone her age even played waterleapers. she taught me how to braid beads into my hair.
she made my sister smile. one time my sister was sad and didnât tell anyone but she figured it out and brought her cookies shaped like tiny kittens. the two of them built a computer in my sisterâs bedroom because they wanted to see if they could. and they were happy.
i think my sister blames herself. she didnât know the details but she knew something was up. i think she thinks if sheâd pressed harder she could have found out. could have stopped her.
the last time i saw her she asked me to show her the catapult iâd built for school.
i was two when she died. they sent us home from school because of the shooting and i knew thereâd been a shooting but i didnât know what had happened and i didnât know sheâd died and neither did my sister and she texted her to ask if sheâd heard or if she know what happened andÂ
well
she didnât get a reply.
anyways. i donât really know why iâm telling you this.
but i saw someone saying it was good that she died.
fuck that. she was a person and she mattered.
#evaleen massacre
I'm sorry you're having a hard time and everyone is yelling at you! That sounds really stressful. Here's something I hope will help! [link to a free dictionary app]
its amazing how offended people get if youre purple and donât give a shit about seeming smart to them
like it clearly ruins their entire life, they just canât handle it
and itâs my pleasure, really
right? sorry about all the people being jerks to you right now, it truly is incredible how everyone bends over backwards to be personally insulted and send this type of crap whenever a purple types words on the internet, sure do wonder why that would be, iâm sure itâs because we all just love and appreciate being condescended to by strangers :///
anyway, anon, if youâre reading this: hi! youâre a dickwad!
It was your fault.
thereâs only one thing i can think of that you could be talking about and if itâs that? no it fucking wasnât
but youâre probably not talking about that so, like, if you want to actually explain what i did that was my fault, send me a message and we can talk. or i can block you. weâll see
hey baby ;) i'm a lentat blue looking to show separatists what they're missing ;) wanna fuck? i guarantee once you try it you'll never go back
ooc: fayna blocks this blog immediately and then spends a while shaking and listening to purple folk music to calm herself down. if it was a bot, it doesnât take too long, and she tells herself sheâs being silly; if it looks like a real blog, it takes a while, and she ends up huddled in a corner almost-but-not-quite crying.
kink meme: temperature play
oh hell yeah!!!! i love sensory stuff so much yâall, itâs one of the few things where iâd be fine either giving or receiving (usually with kink stuff iâm solidly on the âi do this to someone else, donât touch meâ side of things but temperature play is an exception, mmmm wax mmmm ice cubes)
