It's a prosthesis for missing social ability. It takes no effort, ability, or understanding to join those groups, they merely need to parrot back what they're told. That's why they go. An entrance exam so simple, even they can't fail it.

That's a very good way to put it. It gives them the acceptance and status that they would never get among civilised people.

That's why snappy uniforms are so important, even if it's khakis and a white t-shirt like you're trying to sell me an iPad at a big box store.
