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

Soccer uniforms have to be same color too it's not "authoritarianism."

Also idk about psychology but just a tiny bit of cohesion is much better over extreme individualism no?

    Americans had "unity" after 9/11

    Uh, no we didn't. Source: am American, lived through that period.

    Yes we had a brief period of unity (and solidarity with NYC) following 9/11, but as soon as the American War Machine woke up, my country was intensely divided.
