And sending donations to causes the government doesn't endorse.

A good example was the truck manifestation in Canada a few years ago, they went after all the donors for what was a legitimate protest. Anyone using bank transfers or any crypto that wasn't Monero was persecuted.

Those who used Monero had their privacy assured and zero issues.

I bought legal things with Monero a while back when I was into "crypto". I've never bought illegal things with Monero (or any other currency/cryptocurrency).

I was interested in Monero because it actually was what people thought Bitcoin was.
