I don't think a repudiable message lets you off the hook in those examples
either, least of all the dictatorship...!

With a little scripting, you could create a new ECC keypair (fast!) for each
message, sign the keypair with your normal key, sign the message with the ECC
keypair. And when you want to backpedal on a signed message, publish the private
ECC key and say "look, anybody who downloaded my private key off the web could
have signed that message".
