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's how I feel living 'with' this Oppressive lot here....

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