Talk about missing the entire point of a really simple Orwell quote. The face in question is everyone's face, you goddamn moron. That's what an authoritarian government is all about, trampling on the rights and liberties of everyone under their control. Some could be targeted more than others, likely to make a convenient scapegoat so as to distract the populace from asking too many questions, but in the grand scheme of things, it doesn't matter.
Bob isn't even trying to hide his boner for being able to destroy anyone who he thinks has wronged him. Thank god he'll never get that kind of power.
I'm pretty sure it's not allowed, but I really feel like people should be required to pass a civics test before they're allowed to vote, preferably every time. There are a frightening number of people who have zero clue as to how our country's government is set up or why. All they ever manage to focus on is how they can blame their lack of utopia on those backwards hicks who don't want to live in a pod and consume the bugs. Bobby's not alone in this sentiment, as evidenced by the last tweet in that screencap. I'm sorry, but I feel like most decent people don't go around calling rural folks "shitkickers."
Well yeah, the fears that a large number of athletes would troon out
just to score easy wins were definitely ridiculous. It's a lot of effort to go through hormones and surgery, and no amount of trophies would be able to convince a well-adjusted man to chop off his dick. Surprisingly, most people really don't want to amputate a part of their body, not even if you paid them large sums of money.
However, to use those illogical fears as a dismissal of the much more rational concerns of the modern day troon athletes is completely disingenuous. It may not be very many right now, but it's becoming more visible in recent years; the troon weightlifter taking an Olympics spot is making the rounds currently, but you can look at
Rhys "Rachel" McKinnon for another high-profile example. It turns out that people who are already fucked up in the head are fine with undergoing a sex change, and they're also fucked up enough to leverage their newfound oppression points to barge headlong into women's sports and dominate the field, knowing that they have woke politics on their side.
Men and women have a variety of anatomical differences, with men generally being more suited to athletic competition. It's why we have male and female sporting leagues; remember how the US women's soccer team got trounced by a team of high school boys? Studies have already shown that even post-op and pumped full of female hormones, MTFs still possess enough advantages that it's simply unfair to let them compete as women. And taking things further, what if enough pressure is applied to allow people to claim any gender identity they want regardless of whether they've undergone any procedures? You can't tell that 300 lb. weightlifter he's not a woman, you bigot!
For the life of me, I still don't understand why Bob gives such a full-throated defense of troons. It seems to be part of his cargo cult understanding of Science™, where he legitimately thinks that chopping off a guy's dick and putting him on the wrong hormones for life turns him into a beautiful maiden. Biology don't work like that, champ.
