First they'd have to find me. And I don't mean as Mirimir. I'd be easy to find, for a TLA. But other personas, I could make them very hard to deanonymize and locate. I've studied many of the major takedowns over the past decade or so. And they all involved quite obvious failures. I wouldn't speak English, for example, but rather another language that I don't use often,

While this is a fascinating subject in theory, in practice I can't imagine deanonymisation is really that hard for three letter agencies, and to a lesser extent five eyes et al. Especially if you paint a large target on yourself like OP claiming to have monitoring capabilities on his network.
I'm going with the "be famous or be afraid" school of thought of your parent comment.
