Which would you prefer
Life under eternal repuke rule

or

Life as a Borg?

Somehow, I now find Borg life more appealing, even though the Borg are similar in some philosophies (forced unity)...

2. Borg.
At least Borgs have universal health coverage. They also act as a collective, rather than through the "me-ism" which permeates the repuke philosophy.

5. Not quite
When a Borg gets injured, fellow Borg dance up to him, remove some valuable circuits, and then the Borg self-destructs into dust.

Sounds typically repuke in philosophy... :-(

But I agree with you on the other points! :-)

4. 6 of One
Half a dozen of the other.

What's the general point in asking us to choose between hive mind or collective mentality? :shrug:

6. I'd definitely choose Borge
Good old Victor.

'Phonetic Punctuation' could be the national anthem.
