and they do get it, BUT (and this is a big but)the 'bad' guys as you so call them, do often tend to come from modertaly or greatly impoverished societies themselves
(consider the likes of many african dictators - Mugabe for instance)
If we start taking the mic out of them on a greatly enhanced platform, there is always someone, somewhere in our society who will denounce us as 'the devil incarnate' for taking the piss out of an impoverished nation, claiming 'you dont live there, what do you know' the fact is, we live HERE, hence, we KNOW what we're in, and it makes it far easier to mock what we know, and get away with it. It doesnt mean its right, but at least we ain't getting shot at for speaking our mind and testing the society we live and believe in
I think it all comes down in the end to one simple phrase...
'If they're big enough, and powerful enough, they can take it'
and most of the time, i believe its a simple as that
