NATO, The Police, every fucking imperial ass flag, rich grifters wearing blue suits. It's made me associate this color with the shittiest of ghouls. I avoid it like the plague.

But this is irrational and silly, it's just a color and hating a color because it's widely used by monstrous capitalists to lul you into a false sense of calm is silly.

Right?

Cuba, Laos and the DPRK have blue on their flags. And some flags of the soviet republics had blue on them to. Then there some auroras that are blue

I have a blue house with a blue window. Blue is the colour of all that I wear. Blue are the streets, and all the trees are too. I have a girlfriend, and she is so blue.

Blue are the people here that walk around. Blue like my corvette, its in and outside. Blue are the words I say and what I think

Blue are the feelings that live inside me.

This is a certified hood classic. smurf-cursed

Blue is also the color of water, comrade. It signifies water on maps, gps displays, underground utlity maps, public infrastructure maps (at least in the US it does), and building plans. That’s just because I work with water tho.

But before all that even, blue makes me think of swimming pools. It makes me think of cool clear water to go swimming in.

[–] Mindfury@hexbear.net 19 points 2 months ago

it is time to remind comrades to not just touch grass, but to touch ocean, sea, river or pool

the feeling of, let alone the physical concept of buoyancy is such a calming feeling. I strongly recommend everyone who is able should go for a swim every once in a while to relieve stress

Blue is my favorite color, I'm wearing all blue stuff right now!

Besides, All Colors Are Beautiful

[–] happybadger@hexbear.net 9 points 2 months ago

I like it because it's the rarest colour in nature. Out of the hundreds of species of wildflowers here, I'd only consider three of them to be blue. One bird out of dozens is properly blue, two if you count the bluish-grey blue heron. As a pigment it was so rare that Europeans pretty much only used it to paint Mary for centuries. Seeing natural blue is always nice.

On mountains, the sky turns an insane shade of blue the higher you get over 10k feet, the views are unbeatable. It's the color of pure alpine lakes, pretty wildflowers, dope ass birds, and half of my backpacking gear. Jeans are nice. Sometimes I like wearing as many colors as possible, and my fits don't work without the color blue

[–] AssortedBiscuits@hexbear.net 8 points 2 months ago

The sky and sea are blue. They're around before humanity exists and they'll still be around^[1]^ even if humanity no longer exists.

[1] Well, until the sun becomes a red giant and incinerates the Earth. But at least ghouls will no longer exist either.

It’s not irrational, you are entirely correct. It’s vibes are fucked and it’s intentions malevolent

It is a very boring color. Oh, you have a blue guitar/bike/whatever? Not interested.

Gimme some red, some brown, some green, some orange. Then we'll talk.

Blue eyes can be real pretty though, but that depends entirely on the person they belong to.

Blue was the colour of the Eureka stockade and the 1891 strike that founded the Labor Party, the first ruling Social Democratic party in the world.

The fact Chuds have taken over the Southern Cross is criminal.

Ninja edit. I entirely forgot the song lyrics are lonely and plaintive. Oops. Never mind that.

The "I'm Blue Bada Bee Bada Ba" song is catchy.

Our home comrade.💙

I grew up in a place where wearing blue would get you fucked with by gang members so I avoid blue and red. That hasn’t been a thing in a long time and I’m showing my age but I still avoid those.

without blue light we wouldn't have so many other wonderful colors. for example, cyan and magenta

there are 2 different gay movies called Blue, both very good:

  • Blue (1993), an experimental film by Derek Jarman released months before his death from AIDS
  • Blue (2002), a Japanese sapphic coming-of-age story

and of course, blue-haired SJWs

Blue/Orange contrast will either fix blue for you, or make you hate it even more.
