Story of 'Borgs'
Many Star Trek fans will be aware of a race called the 'Borg'. Borgs live in a part of the universe far away from the quadrant where Federation, Klingon, Cordassian, Romulan and few other races quarrel together. Borgs are part flesh, part machine and they consider every other race as inefficient and inferior. In the Borg world, there is no "individuality" and no one speaks as "I". Instead, everyone speaks with one voice and they think in a collective mind. If there are ten individuals in a room, we humans will have ten different opinions. But with Borgs, all those ten individuals are considered as ten parts/limbs of one single mind. Whenever Borgs encounter any new species, they don't ask for their opinion or permission before interfering. They just go in with their advance spaceships and assimilate everyone. Borgs assume that since they are superior, by assimilating all other species, they are doing them a favour. Borgs think by joining their collective, all other species will become more useful and efficient. If anyone refuses to give up their culture, their freedom, their beliefs and refuse to be assimilated into the Borg collective, the Borgs tell them, "We are the Borgs. Resistance is futile. You will be assimilated."
Star Trek-fevers aside, the closest thing in real life that one can find, is the good old America. Just look at the way America is behaving. It considers everyone as inferior, backward, uncivilised and it doesn't ask for your opinion before interfering in other people's business and "liberating" them with hi-tech missiles!
I guess now you want to know how the Borgs are defeated. And yes, there are species that can hit even Borg butts!
