probably won’t be kidnapped and imprisoned for what we say

We do still kidnap and imprison people when they challenge the power or form of our state, it's just that
what we say in the west is generally less threatening to the power of our governments.

Let's not forget that the US locks up more citizens than any nation - including China with 4x the population - and spent a good part of this century kidnapping and torturing people all over the world.
