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
I almost feel like you’re intentionally avoiding what I’m actually saying. I am not praising the Borg as an exemplar of a good society. I am saying that they happen to have one aspect that is also present in what would be a good society. In my first comment I acknowledged that what they do is not okay, and then jokingly compared assimilation to socialism because it has 2 similar properties. I oversimplified for the sake of a joke. You’re being an ass for no reason over a joke about cyborgs being kind of similar to socialism. The joke used the Borg as a subject but literally any cyborg lifeform would fit the bill because the mechanical parts provide the sustenance and protection the worker needs.
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.
