This trope refers to a common plot by [[Visionary Villain|the villains]] [[Well-Intentioned Extremist|with a cause]], wherein they reason that all of humanity's problems and unhappiness are caused by people being separate/different from one another, and so try to forcefully [[Individuality Is Illegal|eliminate the differences and individuality]] of everyone by merging everyone into one mind/body/soul/etc.

* The ODE System from ''[[Super Robot Wars]]'' attempts to do this. Its creator, Wilhelm von Juergen, fell into one massive [[Wangst]] after losing his family, thus thinking that if humanity unites into one to protect the Earth, nobody needs to be sad like him, thus he radically changed his normal system into this. Too bad the system ends up going [[Knight Templar]].
