Let's be honest, that's true in every country where the government has real power. The moment you're an actual threat to those in power, you'll get shut down.

Right, and that's why talk of authoritarianism is infantile. The question that's actually important is whose interest the government represents.

Of course. The moment a government feels threatened, it will show you 'the violence inherent in the system'.
