My problem with this is when I now don’t have freedom from surveillance in my country because I mainly use F-Droid to install my privacy conscious apps.

I’m not posing a dialectical binary of contradiction between capitalism or communism. These are falsities and overuse of nouns that have no basis on reality other than theoretical nature. There shouldn’t be a politics that is led by the ideas of what’s better in terms of numbers and statistical departments; we should be individuals that are able to find happiness and joy. Ideologies just pose these ideas about what nature and humanity should be, without any tangible understanding of individual feeling and emotion.

How about accepting the flaws of both global regimes that are in competition? Denialism is just a biased view towards one regime or another. It’s not about the “or, or, or” equation, it’s about accepting that both regimes (US and China) have the capacity to cause human rights violations.
