I would absolutely line up to be assimilated. I'd be guaranteed a job that mattered, I'd always be with family and friends, I'd be part of a group that was always working towards a common goal, and I'd be happy; the borg that are disconnected from the collective are clearly deeply distressed by the experience. Plus, I'd be stronger and more capable as a borg than I can even imagine right now.

As long as people are making the choice to join the collective, why is it anyone else's business?

That is the gimmick of the borg. Depending on the writer it is half about the horrors of comunism and the other part is about the horror of transhumanism. Both are rad though so hell yeah

For a solid 25+ years, I've been saying that the second it's viable, I would happily replace all of my meat with machine. When you fuck your back up as an organic, congrats, now you get to have pain for the rest of your life. As a cyborg? Just replace the damaged part.

From the moment I understood the weakness of my flesh, it disgusted me. I craved the strength and certainty of steel.

You look like a cut of fuckable meat. Are you?
