"Sure, The Borg have been a bit of a problem. Their tendency toward mass assimilation and the stripping of individuality and personal freedom doesn’t exactly jibe with our idea of what makes a great leader. But let’s be honest. Kathryn Janeway hasn’t been perfect."

I just want to see Janeway's plan. She has no plan!
- Personally I just like the Borg's plan for the economy. Sure, post-scarcity is nice, but what about post post?

I have a question: did the Borg already partially own or have something compromising on the the Starfleet Gazette, beforehand? This would explain why...
- Suggesting that billionaires need to be coerced to support Trump via threats of retribution -- as opposed to supporting him willingly because sociopaths are inherently inclined towards fascism -- is giving them a lot of credit they don't deserve.

Nanoprobes are genocide. Species 8472. Make the Quadrant Great Again.

  yeah but the people on this star trek instance think it's a good thing
  most liberal instance* other than that dbzero shithole
  *oh wait aside from lemmy.world
- So what you're saying is, vote Borg. Gotcha 👍
