If you want to say "I don't want to be associated with people of such political beliefs", well, just say so.

I don't want LW to be a recruitment place for a political cult.

If the political cult is unable to find a better recruitment place, well, sucks to be them.

What do you mean by "cult"? Many people would consider the founding purpose of LW to be a recruitment place for a cult. Or do you mean you don't want anything that might convert people to a political position different from yours?

We are not a phyg! We are not a phyg! We are not a phyg!

Because nothing says "we are not a phyg!" quite like having to rot13 the Unholy Word.
