Two things can be bad without being close to equal or even comparable.

The UK's pervasive mass surveillance is definitely bad, but you can, for example, campaign and vote against them, right? Do you feel like pervasive CCTV limits who you can vote for or what books you can read? That's not a strawman, that's literally what it's like in China right now.

I wonder, can you really do that, and with ANY effect (leaning towards your goals)?
