I grew up in the backwash of the '60s, and a common catchphrase back in
day was that "The personal is political."

Anonymity is just politics in a different register.

Just ask Hamilton, Madison, and Jay.

People use Tor for diverse political reasons. I have been told by
someone in a position to know that running a Tor relay helps keep people
alive.
