Doesn’t this sound an awful lot like how critics of the former Soviet and Nazi regimes were treated?

Remember there are two things that are never discussed in ‘polite’ company; and those are religion and POLITICS, so let’s just end this political discussion now, shall we? We certainly wouldn’t want to offend anyone.
