the mirror universe is 4 dimensionally very nearly congruent to ours hence all the "coincidental" similarities despite the massive differences in character motivations and historical circumstance

Didn't someone at some point claim that the point of divergence was something stupid early, like the Roman Empire?

Turns out the MU Roman Empire was just slightly hornier than the one in ours.

One of those thinking-while-taking-a-shower questions: were the Bajorians/Cardassians/that-whole-interaction invented in TNG so as to set up the backstory for DS9, or was DS9 being developed and they realized they had a side-story there they had set up (and not paid off) in a random TNG episode?

Some early Roman was alien abducted to Romulus which is where all their ideas came from and also made them evil

My recollection is that the Bajorans were supposed to be a setup for DS9.

 From the IDW Voyager one-shot comic, Mirrors and Smoke. Yeah, everything has to be opposite in the Mirror Universe. Yeah, Janeway still crazed as a loon, instead of trying to get back to Earth, she decides to become the Pirate Queen of the Delta Quadrant.

I'll admit I'm not very familiar with what happened with Voyager after season 1 but didn't Janeway already sort of become a chaotic pirate queen of the Delta in prime timeline over wanting coffee; versus mirror timeline where she became an orderly pirate queen of the Delta strictly because she set out to do so? Also am I to gather from that image in mirror universe the Borg are like the hippy weird cult that occupies the highway department's land next to the freeway to setup a commune celebrating eight tracks and vinyl?

Nope, it's implied they're still the same as they are in the regular universe, as they still brutally assimilated Seven of Nine's parents. Janeway just has bad intelligence in the mirror universe. Also in this universe there's still a (groan) Neelix and Kes, but Neelix travels in his own ship while stalking Janeway as her best stan / frenemy, and Kes still has some of her godlike powers.

Honestly I think the mirror universe would have a worse time with the Borg.

DS9 also has them steal a cloaking device from the prime universe implying the mirror Klingons don't have them despite Klingon ships decloaking in an earlier mirror universe episode. I think it makes sense to assume we don't actually see the same Mirror Universe every time.

So the TNG one or the Voyager one are just another alternate I assume

This Timelines game is hilarious. For this away team, I'm going to use normal Sisko, Sisko in a dress, and Augment Riker which is apparently a thing.

The silliness and inconsistency of the mirror universe episodes becomes easier to accept if you just look at it from the perspective of the multiverse theory. Every possible outcome exists, we're just seeing the one that lets the writers have as much fun with the characters and actors as possible and I don't begrudge them that. With the multiverse theory, all of these incursions into the mirror universe don't even have to BE the same universe, just close enough, so some loose continuity and tone is fine.
