From the moment I understood the weakness of my flesh, it disgusted me. I craved the strength and certainty of steel. I aspired to the purity of the blessed machine.
Fully providing every single need to their people in an attempt to create the most efficient worker possible? It just so happens that their “work” is assimilating people into the hive, but… The methods surrounding their work are pretty nice.
I’m not talking about the method they use to work, I’m talking about the methods they use to facilitate that work. They provide their workers with homes and sustenance. I would expect to put entertainment on that list too if they weren’t cyborgs
Hmm, the Borg internet (or intranet I guess) probably has a lot of entertainment material collected, but then we know that drone emotions are suppressed by implants so you wouldn’t actually be able to enjoy any of it…
“Homes” feels like a stretch… an alcove is worse than one of those sleeping pods in Japan, you don’t even get privacy.
At what point did I mention anything about the hive mind being a good thing? The only thing I praised was the fact that the hive provides homes and sustenance for its workers
Why do people do this shit to themselves?
I swear if the Borg came down some people would be lining up to join the club.

They are tech writers, that’s their job
I would be lining up to become part of the Borg tbf. It’s basically giga-socialism
I don’t think you understand what the Borg are about.

I mean… the method is basically “join us or die”… I don’t think that’s particularly nice…

Amazing. Can’t tell if you’re joking or you are for real.
Amazing. You’ve yet to actually make a point in this conversation, only disparage mine without any counterargument lol

That is basically the “but Hitler built the highways” argument.
