You do not yet understand them. It is surprising to me, because you are one of them with red flavourings but you identify as blue with white flavouring. It is very absurd.
Actually I don't identify as white at all. I am more or less purple (red and blue mix). I am not black at all since I am not suicidal or on the side of entropy or in favour of everything being destroyed, although I can sympathize with the reds.
The preservationist regime revolves around keeping what is, the way it is, no matter what. This then extends into changing the way things are if more can be preserved another way. The balancers are not the ones obsessed with maintaining status quo, if anything that's the 'inferior must serve the superior' reds.
What is it about the status quo exactly that promotes meritocracy? Because as I see it, that is the opposite of the truth. Also, The whites and blacks are equally retarded to me as their ideologies are something a malfunctioning AI would come up with. They are just downright unrealistic, to preserve or destroy everything is equally pointless and dumb and I am much more in favour of keeping around that which is better and eliminating that which sucks to the best of our ability while acknowledging that at the end of the day both entropy and creation are equally immutable facts of reality.
I oppose Purple, which represents the idea of the balance being in the hierarchy and that the strong/smart ruling the weak/dumb is a beautifully correct form of balance and societal structure.
I believe that power should not be placed in individuals but in sound ideas and methodology, in this way no one will be prevented from getting their way if their way is right but no one will be able to get their way if their way is wrong even if they are the ones who would have "authority" in a type 0 society.
