Remmick’s Vampire Hivemind is a conquest of colonialism. He wants every culture but predominantly HIS culture layered atop them. He is crossing seas and attacking marginalized people to slowly take their lands, their homes, and everything about them that he finds amusing. He wants to be “cultured” but still on top of the heap.

The Plurbs Hivemind is a conquest of corporate. They are—explicitly—unsustainable as a group, forced to literally devour themselves. Even the people who are individuals and want to help them are future prey, more to add to the group, who will then starve amongst the masses. They don’t care for culture because culture is beneath their desires to consume and grow.

Remmicks hivemind is personalized. The individuals are there, but Remmick’s mind is there with them, twisting every perception.
