Right, and I am adding the critical context that the 'invitation to participate' in spreading government propaganda and silencing government-disliked speech, is actually a veiled threat couched in numerous previous explicit threats made by the same party, making it both government-compelled speech and government censorship.

As for your personal politics, you can have whatever ones you want. I'm focusing on the issue here, not you personally. Hope I didn't say anything that came across as too personal.

It's not too personal, but it is against HN guidelines [1]:
