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 moment.
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?
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
I’d be OK with being turned into nutrients
Something something circle of life
At least I’d be useful for once ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Been there.
I believe in you, too!
Still, at least I’d be useful for something
Then gooify me Alienware Dommy mommy
Some of these points assume the Borg we saw outside of Voyager, because Voyager really neutered the Borg in so many ways.
Still a step up in all honesty.

This is my sticking point. There’s nothing better than the feeling of being alone in the house, at least for a little while.
Now if it came with a fully customizable virtual world where I could be alone if I wanted to, then I’d be down.
Isn’t that just Unimatrix Zero?
Well if I’m going to have to worry about the borg queen trying to crush Unimatrix Zero, forgettaboudit.
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
