How is that different than any functioning state?
What would happen to you if you started a tv show where you publicly talk about the crimes of your government? It might come as a shock but there are plenty of countries where you can do this without falling out of your window
Thinking "starting a TV show" = "pose a real political threat to the regime" is the most liberal brained thing I can imagine.
Ask Fred Hampton what happens to actual threats to the regime.
Sure that's one good example (although it's always a bit more risky if you're starting an armed self defense force). But you might just want to ponder a little bit on why you have to go back 50+ years for it.
