Like, if I may speak honestly, I am kind for a standardization of Pashtuns. For example, if we are to teach Pashto, teach it in one dialect, use the same one for government affairs and all that. I have no concern as to which dialect they pick, but it will definitely result in increased literacy rates and more interactions amongst Pashtuns.

The problem with uniting against outsiders is that it's always been seen to be a temporary solution to a long-term problem. Like when war break out, warring tribes unite, when it ends, they resume the feuds. However, if we were to somehow trick Pashtuns into believing that if they don't work hard together and establish their nation, that others will take them over, that might do the trick lol.
