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
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
Democracy isn’t that everyone is being forced to be of the same opinion. They don’t vote for their actions, the hive mind overrides each personality with the overarching Borg characteristics, mean assimilation of every worthy race, eradication of danger. There is no individual left in this. If you think that is democracy or socialism then I don’t know what else to tell you.
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.
Do you? The Borg are a collective consciousness, it’s the most democratic government in the galaxy.
My only problem with the Borg is they have a queen.
I don’t think enforced conformity through literal mind control counts as democracy.
