People discussing with whom they will or will not associate is, in this very HN thread, referred to as "tyranny", "despotism", "blackmail", "extortion", and of course you yourself went for the oppression/"thoughtcrime" angle.

Yet one satirical comment lampooning it is "jump to police and coercion all the time" and "why is that".

I suggest you get checked out, you've got more projection going on than an overbooked IMAX theater.
