BORG from Star Trek.

A part of what made the Borg such a popular Trek villain is the thought in the back of every fan's mind - those who are pretty wise and experienced either with Trek or scifi in general - "there but the grace of God goes humanity." With enough technology, we could well become the Borg if we're not careful.

Once things like cybernetic additions and modifications become a true possibility and plugging computers into human brains become possible, what's to stop some evil genius hacker, or evil genius corporation or evil government from turning the population into such a thing? Maybe that's how the Borg Queen started out? Maybe she was the genius hacker or evil head of state who first turned her population into those things, though originally at a much lower tech level, probably? Now she clones herself and downloads her memories and experiences into new bodies as needed. She seems to exist in multiple places, on multiple Borg ships at once. Many clones of her, all linked in a parallel collective as one mind that acts as a controller to the larger, outer collective.

It would be a terrible thing, but it also presents a terrifying possibility of where we could be headed.

it seems that the various groups are code for ethnic groups here.

The Klingons were modelled on the ones who "submit".
The Ferengi are modelled on another
The Bajorans are modelled after Hindus
The Cardassians seem to be based on those who live to the west of the main Hindu hangout.

So basically its all code based upon ethnic and religious groups here.

I think the borg are the UN and the NWO, you know everybody under the one control, individuality erased, robotic, dull, automotons.

You see them everywhere in the modern world, all conforming, all fitting in, all drones.

The Klingons were originally modeled on the Mongols of Genghis Khan's era. In the movies and then later in Next Gen they got a lot of Spartan and Norse thrown into the mix, too.

Sounds a lot like being a part of the USA at this point, your know that it's a force of evil and imperialism but so many others that are assimilated are trying to protect it.....

Sounds like the good ole UN/NATO and U.S. alliance. RESISTANCE IS FUTILE!!

Great discussion so far!

excellent!

I also believe that our society is pushing us to embrace a borg-like state. When I first watched the Borg as a kid on Star Trek, I found them to be horrific.

The 'hive mind' is a brainwashed one.

Me too.......I found them to be extremely frightening! :(

I bet there was 'subliminal messaging' going on at the time!?! :(

take the vax

Anyone want to spill the beans on the Real Borg in USA?

You descibred those who follow sin to a T.

The cross is the solution.

The Conehead or "Gray Species" Royals.They have ruled humanity since ancient times.The current Gray King is Jacob Rothschild.

The "Gray Species" have a much larger brain
activated psychic powers akin to the borg.

Klingons originally were patterned after the Soviet union, Romulans after the nazis

Transhumanistic Klaus Schwab bullshit.

The romulan run usa?

Elon Musk wants to make us all into the Borg, with his cybernetic brain implants.

I would prefer to be an individual than a mindless automaton.
But that's just me. Even my screen name would be disallowed as a Borg. It would have to be, We, not me.

The future of humanity under the Gray Species... a dna alteration not physical

Aside from your failed political statement, the Romulans were based on the Nazis of Germany and with Roman titles, such as praetorian and Tribune

Klingons = Chicoms

"The Borg" = ISLAM!

Terrifying as a whole. But not all bad

Blue names safe space do not show ac threads

Borg on glp?

Covid is the first step towards assimilation into the borg.
Resistance is futile, you will be assimilated, wear your maks, lock up your doors, all your genes now belong to us.
