How dangerous is it to be a communist in the US? Should I be very hush hush about it? I won’t ever be open about it but I’m just wondering how secretive I should be. Most of my close friends and certain family members know that I am a “Socialist”. I am pretty young and still need to start my life and I don’t want to ruin my chances of anything.

Some precautions I’ve taken are installing a vpn and only going doing commie stuff with vpn on. I’ve separated personal and political social media accounts and never post political stuff on my personal ones. Should I be doing any other things?

Thank you in advance

    Hm, that makes sense to me. I am not versed well enough in privacy topics to see why that’s not the case, so I think you’re correct. And the more I search, the more people say that yes You -> Tor -> VPN does not hinder the tor connection itself and protects the non-tor traffic coming out of your system + people probably trust their VPN way more than their ISP for good reason.

      I think You -> Tor -> VPN is primarily useful to access websites that block or otherwise inconvenience known Tor nodes (Cloudflare…). The best option for most of those who want all traffic to be secure is probably still TAILS (or Whonix, etc.) without a VPN, just because it’s easy to make mistakes. I mainly use VPNs when downloading things because Tor is quite significantly slower

        Heck i meant to write You -> VPN -> Tor my bad, but yes you’re totally right on that front

        Also agree just use tails without anything extra probably easiest way

        But also very interested in the convo above explaining why we’re both potentially wrong lol
