In Star Trek, they are a group known for taking over other thriving communities. Individuals in those communities are forced to be "assimilated" into the BORG, they are implanted with nanoprobes and become drones who are not allowed to question or debate their host.
From Wikipedia:
Borg Collective[edit]
Also referred to as the "hive mind" or "collective consciousness", the Borg Collective is a civilization with a group mind. Each Borg individual, or drone, is linked to the collective by a sophisticated subspace network that ensures each member is given constant supervision and guidance. The collective is broadcast over a subspace domain similar to that used by the transporter. Being part of the collective offers significant biomedical advantages to the individual drones. The mental energy of the group consciousness can help an injured or damaged drone heal or regenerate damaged body parts or technology. The collective consciousness not only gives them the ability to "share the same thoughts", but also to adapt with great speed to defensive tactics used against them.
In the Ramsey saga, it isn't much different. There started out being different theories and different groups were forming, one, the Ramsey supports, was a very small group. Lots were on the fence and then there were the ones who just believed it had to be the parents. They started out being just a group with an opinion, but it wasn't long before that became an agenda. Other posters were more than encouraged to adopt that theory - and if they did not they were criticized, shunned, attacked themselves and sometimes just banned from forums.
The "hive mind" or "collective consciousness", the Borg Collectiv group mind is found in the Ramsey ynch mob.
Each Borg individual, or drone, is linked to the collective by a sophisticated subspace network called the Internet. Each member is given constant supervision and guidance, told where to post, where not to post, where to read, where not to read. WHAT not to read. WHO not to read.
Most members of the Ramsey BORG, for example, have been advised not to read pro-Ramsey books as they might get confused. They can't read this forum because they may get educated and lose their BORG footing.
Being part of the BORG offers significant emotional advantages to the individual drones. The mental energy of the group consciousness can help an injured or damaged drone heal by assuring them they are right. (Steve Thomas is a good man, he is right and he believes. or Hell, CBS even showed Burke hitting her in the head!)
The collective consciousness not only gives them the ability to "share the same thoughts", but also to adapt with great speed to defensive tactics used against them. Like being in a gang (When you're a Jet, you're a Jet all the way.) they join forces and intentionally try to "take down" those who wouldn't be assimilated. (Those who read everything and made educated efforts to find the truth.)
Lou Smit recognized the online (and BOULDER) lynch mob as a BORG type civilization - - he shared that with me and I adopted the term.
That is who BORG is.
