The purpose of WireGuard in my instance is to hide my IP as I would be self-hosting a website with my home ISP. But yeah, VPNs are not really great for privacy and mostly just serve to hide your IP on peer-to-peer multiplayer gaming, bypass region locks, etc. You would need to take extra steps to maintain anonymity (VPN isn't really one of them), such as hardening your web browser to resist against fingerprinting. I2P is slow, yes, and the list of ISPs good for hosting Tor exit relays was to show ISPs that are lenient on people hosting various, risky things. I was just confused when you mentioned self-hosting a vpn wasn't viable, as it is, but with different costs and may or may not work for certain use cases. Having better security and privacy does tend to come at the cost of performance.
I also agree organizing a revolution should involve relying on as little of the internet as possible, especially when shit hits the fan.
