Edit: to end things on a more positive note, it is worth noting that even with all the above, you still have students, young YouTubers and comedians of high profile (that are internationally well liked) criticizing the status quo from the government (and their involvement with cartels). Organized crime would be dumb to go after some of these people if they want it to remain a Mexican problem.
