Do you want me to sit here and list out all of the applicable and legal use-cases for VPNs and Monero? How many would I have to list for you to change your views? Is there even a number, or is your mind set that VPN = criminal?

I don't think you can give me a single legitimate use case for a VPN with no KYC paid via Monero.

You live under an authoritarian regime that jails you based on the things you purchase.

You said there was no practical application for VPNs or Monero, but now you're shifting your goal posts? I think I have wasted enough brain cycles on this.

Maybe I'm sick of surveillance capitalism at every fucking turn? Why do I need to justify my right to privacy? I'm absolutely over mega corporations trying to build psychological profiles of me to determine how to best try to manipulate me into giving them money. Or perhaps I don't trust them to keep the information they gather securely, properly protecting it from becoming part of the next big data breach. That's not even taking into account them turning around and selling it to the highest bidder. Every payment processor has turned dataminer. I'm sick of it. The more places I can use Monero, the better.

How about literally any country that is effectively a surveillance state? It is abundantly clear that you've never lived in or experienced anything remotely close to this since you're incapable of grasping what is probably THE MOST legitimate use case for Monero.
