Is that like a lava enema?

This is the end of Season 2 of Picard!! Borg Queen only assimilates those you want to be assimilated.

No thanks I’m already a member of Unity

In my head cannon, that’s more or less how the borg started.

I’ve had a fan fic on the back of my head where the Borg start out as a small group exploring networked community like that, but some of the members are more radical than others. One believes that people need to be brought under collective influence in order to solve their social problems and sees individuality as a problem. However, when the more virulent form of the collective gets going, she becomes a hypocrite who refuses to subsume her own individuality to the collective while inflicting the same on everyone else.
That’s why the Borg Queen seems so contradictory. She actually is.

I’m glad to know I’m not the only one who’s had thoughts about the borg origins.
bi_tux@lemmy.world 1 year ago
maybe they just assimilated hostile species, but I think they’ve always been kind of invasive.
I imagine the borg started as a peacefull cybernetic species who radicalised them self or their ai made some mistakes maybe. Or they started as an ai that became evil and assimilated biological life on it’s quest to perfection

I could see that too. Either way, it’s a fun thought experiment to question how such an entity comes into being. Because surely the starting point looked a lot different given that they’ve assimilated (and therefore been changed by) thousands of species.

If they went the voluntary route, like most religions, people would have much fewer problems. It’s the kidnapping and forcible assimilation that gets people upset (understandably).

Yeah but the Borg would be breaking into houses to force convert folk.
Then again those xtian door knocking religions are often very fond of 'mission trips' to forcibly convert folk for the cost of the 'humanitarian aid' they provide, which isn't unlike the Borg at all.

Reminds me of that time the Hegemonising Swarm was converted to the Proselytising swarm

They kind of are a religion, just supplemented by a lot of technology that allows them to convert people against their will.

Readable images are irrelevant. Your text will be assimilated into the background of the meme and add its distinctiveness to our own.

Sign me up. Free healthcare and housing for a body I cram cookies into sounds like a deal but what is their stance on aborgtions?
theinspectorst@kbin.social 1 year ago
They're pro-choice and pro-contraception.
They understand that abstinence is futile.

Yeah, but no privacy. Even when you go to the little Borg’s room.
