the way USAmericans talk about uniforms is so funny. "It's too expensive!" not more expensive than having to buy brand new outfits considering the social pressures of trends. "It's too uncomfortable!" that depends on the design and millions of people worldwide get by regardless. “It kills your individuality!” no it doesn’t. This is the funniest complaint by far. It has to be some remnant of red scare right. There's no way you think millions of non-Americans across the world dont have an identity because they wear something assigned for like 1/3 of the day

#anyway uniforms are a neutral thing. they can be good or bad depending on design and implementation #being able to wear whatever you want to school isnt inherently better than wearing a uniform #if i have to see westerners fearmongering abt something thats very common in third world/ non-white countries im gnna riot #maybe hot take but maybe it's a good thing to teach young people that some degree of social conformity is expected #even if it comes at the cost of your personal comforts #being 100% individualistic isnt a good thing #also regarding expense theres a ton of things you can do to bypass that #getting them secondhand or buying larger sizes and then just altering them gradually over the years or just cycling between a few sets #politics #uniforms #my post #idk how should i tag this #fashion
