No, he does not. He doesn’t even deserve to be remembered at all.
Is he an ass? The name sounds sort of familiar, but I don’t know who this dude is.
Yes. Yes he is. I didn’t realize that meme was him. Now I’m retroactively pissed.
Damn, I just know the meme. This is why we can’t have nice things.
What a tool
His sole piece of merchandise reads “Socialism Is For F*gs.” Asterisk included.
He claims it says “figs.” Because he’s an idiot, and he thinks you are too.
Jesus christ
Is there a meme generator for this?
We can only hope someone will make one using this, I (like many) hate the guy in the original picture from this post.
I really need to get back into webdev
If you have the skill, you would be the hero we need.

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?
laughs in socialist furry
Oh no, they’ve come to take away my precious humanity and capitalism, whatever shall I do?
Yeah, right? Sign me up. Free healthcare too
I’m first in line. Fixes all my problems.
-
Physical Disability? Not anymore as the nanites fix shit and build implants to compensate.
-
Limited Resources? Nope. Don’t gotta worry about whether I’d get to the food bank in time or what bills to pay now!
-
Loneliness? Literally impossible
-
Mental Health? No mental left to health.
SIGN ME UP SIR.
Theres a good chance most of us wouldn’t be considered worthwhile drones, to be honest.
“A remarkable creature. Your design nearly passes as human.”
“…I am human?”
“Ew! well, then you need to drink more water.”
Is that an actual line from the doctor?
It’s from Lower Decks. A simulation of the Borg Queen says this to Boimler while he’s taking a test on a mini-holodeck.
Figures
I would be broken down into nutrients instantly.
Thank you for your sacrifice
Still, at least I’d be useful for something
I’d be OK with being turned into nutrients
Something something circle of life
At least I’d be useful for once ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
The only downside, really, is the retconned-in CEO with all that individuality at the top of the otherwise equal system. When she started blowing up cubes just to flex on her enemies, that was a real

- physical disability: that might just get you euthanized.
- limited resources: again, I see euthanasia as a possible Borg solution.
- loneliness: ever heard of being lonely in a crowd?
- mental health: again, a malfunctioning drone would likely just get euthanized.
Some of these points assume the Borg we saw outside of Voyager, because Voyager really neutered the Borg in so many ways.
If I was accepted as a drone, it’d be fine by me. I’m so tired of worrying about everyday existence in the devolving hellscape of a world we now occupy.
But, if you have a physical disability, they don’t bother assimilating you I thought?
Alternatively: You have no distinctiveness that will augment our own, so we’re going to liquefy you and feed you to the childborgs.
Better situation than what I got going
was that borg policy? every borg individual had some beneficial distinctiveness? I guess I’ll get liquefied then

I mean… a transhumanist collective sounds like a better deal than Capitalism
Beam me in, Scotty!
The Earth First faction would totally gaslight everyone about the existence of the Borg.
The Borg?! Ha! Yet another radical leftist Federation boogeyman! I’ll bet credits to navy beans that it’s just an excuse to expand Starfleet and take away your phasers! Wolf 359 was an inside job! But in case you do get infected with nanoprobes be sure to buy my Ivermectin^TM brand purity pills, only 4 bars of Gold Pressed Latinum!
Lol that just made me realize the terrorist group from enterprise was called Terra Prime. Damnit how did I not see it!
Depressingly accurate
Modern people with tortured minds would probably be happier as Borg, but in Star Trek’s time they presumably have effective treatments for it so it’s not so appealing.
In other words, yes, there would be a decent chunk of volunteers.
Wasn’t being part of the collective “eternal suffering”? I know that’s not far from average life, but at least I can hope life will get better.
In Picard it makes you feel constant euphoria. Which actually makes sense as a way of stopping people fighting against it.
I don’t want any kind of computer in my body for the simple reason I refuse to have my internal organs run on windows

GNU/Borg
better but computers in general aren’t very good at things. They’re great if you want to do a lot of calculations really fast but they just don’t have the reliability I look for in an internal organ
also some teenager would hack into me and force me to dance or something
but they just don’t have the reliability I look for in an internal organ
That’s ok, neither do regular organs.
There’s a game about that. It’s called Exapunks. You play as an anarchist hacker who is slowly dying to a degenerative disease that turns your flesh into electronics. The medicine to keep your disease from progressing costs 300 dollars a day, so you learn how to hack from a zine and then start making money for your medicine and taking down capitalism. At various points you have to use your hacking skills to reprogram your nerves so your body will continue to function. Send a virus to tell your heart to beat and so forth. The gameplay is based on a modified version of assembly and actual programming puzzles that make sense in the context of the cyberpunk world.
nice I’ll have to check it out
I am Excretus of Borg
Depends. Do they have good dental insurance?
Why did the borg go back in time to the 2060s? Why not go back in time 2023, when people are dealing with the cost of living and lack or access to basic essentials. The borg would enslave those they want to and prevent first contact.
If it means not having to deal with capitalism anymore I’d get in line too tbh.
-
Free healthcare
-
Free public housing
-
No debt

Spend all your days cruising the galaxy with your buds, looking for more people who want to join the party
Yeah, I’m not clear what’s on this list that I’m not supposed to like.
And everyone shares thoughts instantly so you just know their meme culture is off the charts.

The Federation doesn’t have capitalism either (well, again this depends on the writer, but Picard was quite clear about it in one episode).
Assimi-milation!
What a wonderful phrase
Assimi-milation!
Ain’t no passing craze
It means no worries
For the rest of your days
It’s our problem-free philosophy
Assimi-milation!
We’re too late, they’re already here
That’s no moon…
