All because Star Trek made "assimilation" a fucking dirty word.
I hope you never see a comment that actually argues something like that. Because people don't literally try to force and manipulated their way into Borg territory for the purpose of making a home to leech off taxpayer dollars.
I have done, and that's exactly the problem that they refuse to see, is that there is a difference between going around and forcing your culture on others living in their own territories (that's "colonialism") and telling people that they should follow your culture when they volunteer to come live with you in your territory.
But yeah, there are a lot of dimwits who don't understand that. They just think "assimilation bad". And the whole push towards "multiculturalism" seemed to get more intense after that show/the Borg came out.
Western civilization needs its own version of the Prime Directive. Make it illegal to interfere with nations that don't have nuclear weapons capability or something like that.
