The borg are the good guys right? Like, they are supposed to be bad but liberalism aside there only seem to be positives.
uh they kinda are the bad guys, forced assimilation of indigenous groups is not cash money
They aren't assimilated. Well literally yes. But their uniqueness is preserved and shared among the collective. That to me reads like how china came in, ended the oppressive theocracy bur let the Tibetan have their language and religion past that. Not how we assimilated our native populations by destroying their culture than never accepting them into ours. My ancestors indigenous culture involves constant warfare so if they had been given that deal it would have been a straight upgrade. I don't think they would have agreed to the transhumanism but it would be objectively better than dying of anthrax cause you slept the barn cause it was warmer. I see it as an extension of the permanent revolution taken to a fantastic extreme.
Was that ever talked about on screen or is that conjecture? The Borg Queen supposedly was always there at least as a retcon, and "Picard" even had a centuries-in-the-making second Borg Queen.
I always thought this scene was dumb as a kid but my dad would laugh his ass off. It is now one of my favorite scenes
She was an emergent facet of Hue being reassimilated by the Borg after grasping individuality. This momentarily led to chaos for the Borg, but was "fixed" by creating one individual that was all Borg.
the movies are revisionist
