Delusions of blue and purple and removing the haze

Want to quick comment on Jacks’ post on blue and purple structures.

What is the Purple System?

First of all, the classic definition of the Purple Pill is trying to apply Red Pill insights and praxeology to solve Blue Pill problems. It is still a Blue hierarchy, but one in which the man is Red Pill informed and usually very confused. In some cases, the Purple Pill is a transition stage, AKA Purple Haze, in which a man wakes up to Red Pill reality, but is still living in a Blue Pill structure / system. It takes some time to realize that Blue Pill problems can never be solved without completely abandoning the Blue Pill system. Men usually don’t complete the transition unless there is suffering involved, and the more suffering there is, the faster the transition is. Purple Haze is rather rare anymore, since the Red Pill went mainstream.

Generally, the only way purple and blue structures can exist effectively without devolving into destructive structures (e.g. woman nagging, contentious, etc.) is if something is propping up the system.

One can be totally delusional about how attraction works and still be in a godly successful marriage. However, the only way this generally occurs for men is if they are naturally attractive and/or naturally good with women. These men can believe in “true love” because they have never really experienced the opposite and it’s easy for them to get women.

In other words, their naturally attractiveness or charisma is propping up their delusion that women will love them unconditionally for who they are.

It is also notable that some to many pastors tend to fall into this category. The “godliness is sexy” mantra is repeated by pastors all the time, and they believe it’s true because it “worked” for them. They were pursuing God’s kingdom and women dropped into their lap, and they were generally able to marry a fairly to very attractive woman who wanted to be with him,

Of course, what they don’t see is that their position was propping up their success with woman and not their godliness. The power and status of being a Church leader is what was attracting women to them. I’m not saying this is the only thing as there are also pastors who are very charismatic, excellent social skills, humor, and other things women find attractive. However, they are deluded into thinking that their success with women is because of their potential godliness.

The Janitor example I always bring up is the case in point. Women are attracted to the Church leader, pastor, worship leader, and not the janitor, greeters, or parking lot coordinators.

Circling back, the only way these men wake up to the delusion is if their bubble is popped either by their own experience or see other’s experiences and learn from them. If they suddenly get sick and have to step down as a pastor and their wife leaves them. Or they see so many counseling cases from other men that that they can’t keep living in the delusion that godliness is attractive when their advice fails time and time again.

Society had propped up men for the longest time — greater status, better jobs, masculine men accepted, etc. — through the 1970s to maybe 1980s. However, once the system to prop up men disintegrates then you have a thorough falling out where less and less men are caught in the delusions of blue and purple.

This is why the younger generations growing up now like GenZ and others easily call out SIMPing, White Knighting, and other behaviors that are net negatives on getting women or being successful in relationships and marriages. There’s nothing anymore to prop up the delusions.
