    If I had to choose between the two, I rather be in a dystopian system that preserves its dystopia with calm, naive civility rather than armed death squads.

    In a similar regard to OP’s answer: why do you think that would be your only two choices, between “bad” and “worse”? Why not go another route that’s more akin to “good”?

    Also I think this is less about specific aspects of dystopia and more about “Don’t let the shiny surface blind you towards the rotten core”.
