First of all, verification is about identity, not about on whose behalf you're speaking. These concepts are linked, ie if NYT verifies your identity, that might look like an endorsement. I feel like using verification to communicate information about endorsement is not a good idea. On social media, its significantly more important that if you say you're John Doe, that's who you are than it is for users to know if some org endorses your opinions. The extra effort/risk/friction to also communicate endorsements is not in balance with the extra value.

Besides this, its probably a good idea to keep your shitposting and spokespersoning to separate account
