Seems very much like indoctrination to get kids to “fall in line” and enforced conformity, to try to remove independent thinking.

I’ve always hated the idea of that. What do you think about it?

    Definitely applicable.

    Entire atmosphere feels a lot more weirder because everyone is forced to wear the same thing. Reminds me of when I was in China, where they forced little kids to wear the little red scarf, which symbolized communism.

      In your example it can be. But if no nationalistic rationale is behind the uniforms that are worn than it’s not authoritarian.

      So it can be but it’s not a given.

      I think is preparation for a white collar job. Everyone in the office usually use a uniform and there is nothing wrong with that. I feel like it is an exaggeration

          So you want everyone in society to be rogue and fuck the system that keeps things moving? I will never understand this mindset dude.
