I was surprised too that he didn't see the danger of "cancel culture" after his experience. The ominous idea of "facing consequences" sounds exactly like the implication of a Mafioso saying "Nice business you have there, it would be a shame if something were to happen to it."

Another example is this classic joke about the Soviet Union:

Q: What is the difference between the Constitutions of the US and USSR? Both of them guarantee freedom of speech.

A: Yes, but the Constitution of the USA also guarantees freedom after the speech.

An alternative version of this joke: What's the difference between the Soviet Union and the USA?

In both countries you have freedom of speech, but in the USA you can use it more than once.

In America you can call the President an idiot. And in Soviet Russia, you can also call the American President an idiot.
