Now you’re moving the goal posts. There’s plenty of places that lack political freedom but are very safe in terms of day to day life. E.g. China or Singapore.
Well it's a facet of day to day safety - if the police can detain you and torture you to death because they don't like your T-shirt's opinion, that country isn't safe on the expression side. Safety isn't only from random robbers and murderers, but also the state.
Most people just want to be safe from robbers and murderers. Trying to conflate political safety with physical safety is just wordplay.
99.999% of people will never be in this situation and they don't care. Ask people if they want Singapore's safety and they will take it.
