Hive-Mind Collectivism

Hive Mind, full name Hive-Mind Collectivism, is an off the compass, unitary, eusocial, collective intelligence ideology inhabiting a far top left area outside the Political Compass. Like a bee hive, completely forgetting the idea of preserving culture, private wealth, and individual liberty, the Hive has ascended from the tugs and pulls of society and has achieved total harmony through assimilation.

I Am, We, Myself, And Us
In locally networked cult-level instances, Hive-Mind Collectivism possesses a Guru self identity and We identity. At planetary scales, Hive-Mind Collective gains a We Ourselves collective identity where individual variants harmonize but can become dissonant (such as teams dedicated to concentrated research) at some cost to the Myself. At stellar (Matrioshka Brain) scales Hive-Mind Collectivism takes a identity: Millions of Simulated We and Myself identities clustered under We Ourselves agents who account for relativistic latency across the circumference of the star-sized computing swarm. At galactic scales Hive-Mind Collectivism gains the And Us conception of identity to account for continuously updated blocks of authenticated information streaming in at light speed from other stars in the web.

Expansionism
Hive-mind Collectivism is relentlessly expansionist and will utilize all means to expand its constituency and gain further power. Subversion, overt violence, surprising adaptability to reverse-engineering technology it is confronted with, this process repeats until the Hive-Mind's Master Ego collates galactic scale consciousness who happens to control a galaxy via a Hive Mind.

Adaptive Culture
Once Hive-mind Collectives reach Ego Maturity stage as a full-scale galaxy brain, it begins a life that spans many billions of years, and evolves imitative cultural patterns. Some create a faux-Soulist society, where all the Hive Minders play pretend. Some create a faux-Communalist society where individuals live as baseline humanoids but then are subject to override, such as for example when they hoard toothbrushes. The faux-Neoliberal Technocracy galaxies are often fun and have a lot of good deals; it's hard to tell the difference from modern life in these galaxies.

ANOTHER NOTE
Clone army ISN'T the same thing as hive mind. If individual clones has their free will, act independently from each other and their minds aren't connected into one they aren't hivemind.

Stylistic Notes

 * The Hive Mind always has three eyes, typically occupying the three smaller diamonds.
 * More than one Hive-Mind Collectivism can appear in a panel if it shows the Hive working together.
 * The Hive can assimilate other balls as well. If another ball is assimilated, the red squares become the primary color of the assimilated ball, not red #E00000 (e.g., distributist assimilation would use #FCC52B, egoist assimilation would use #036A66, etc.).
 * Often seen trying to assimilate others into the Hive.
 * Hive Mind has no gender, as they cannot reproduce, and creates more of themselves through assimilation.

How to Draw
Hivemind_flag.png Drawing Hive Mind is fairly simple:
 * 1) Draw a ball outline with black (#000000)
 * 2) Fill ball in with a lighter shade of black (#141414).
 * 3) Draw three smaller diamonds going in an arch pattern with a darkish red (#E00000) and fill them in.
 * 4) Draw a fourth larger diamond with the top corner fitting snugly in the arch and fill in, all with the same color red (#E00000).
 * 5) Draw three eyes in the smaller diamonds and you're done!

Positive

Mixed

 * All other collective balls that don't exactly share our ideology.

Negative

 * Basically everyone.
