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

    Ok, ill explain again, please read carefully. Tor is NOT designed to be used with a VPN, its designed to be used with a normal internet connection. Thus, the encrypted end to end connection is established between the PC and the TOR exit node. Thus, only your PC and the TOR exit node can read what you do. However, when you use a VPN, since the VPN is what is connecting to the TOR entry node, instead of your PC, TOR believes the VPN is your PC (which is the point of a VPN, to hide your real IP), and thus the encrypted end to end connection is established between VPN and TOR exit node. Thus, VPN and TOR exit node can read what you do. While TOR exit node is decentralized and you pretty much use a different one for every connection so its not a real problem, VPN is centralized, meaning it is a problem.
