The McDonaldization of Society ( or would I say McDonaldization of
'NeuroDiversity','Difference', DisAbility.)
I" wonder if the creators of 'The-Borg', within StarTrek,The Next Generation
based their ideas on 'The-Borg' (The-Collective), from the ideas of Ritzer
and 'McDonalisation', or was it reallly that 'the-truth' is that these ideas
came from the 'ivory-towers' within East Riding of Yorkshire
Council..."Resistance is Futile"..... that how I feel living 'with' this
Oppressive lot here.... They are trying to assimilate me, through all the
abuse towards me (Obedience to Authority), from a creative
('Think-Outside-The-Box') Neurodiverse Autistic 'Free-Spirit' , into a
controlled 'Nodding-Dog' Abusive 'Neurotypical' 'yes-man' (The-Borg)!!!.....
""Resistance is Futile"..... Should I give in???? :-(
The Borg are a fictional race of cyborgs in the Star Trek universe. They are
known within and beyond Star Trek fandom for their relentless pursuit of
what they want to assimilate, their rapid adaptability to almost any
defense, and their ability to continue functioning after what may seem a
devastating or even fatal blow seemingly unaffected. As such, the Borg have
become a powerful symbol in popular culture for any juggernaut against which
"resistance is futile".....

Are you all show that The-Borg have not 'taken-over' as all the leaders
within East Riding Of Yorkshire Council??? Convince Me, They Are Not!!! :-)
