We need to get rid of tor first. Resources wasted on tor are
resources that can't be used in good projects.
They are not your resources to redirect, but the resources expended on Tor are tiny compared to, say, Bitcoin. Or even just Ethereum. This is not a good argument, and I think it may be motivated by your own personal feelings about Tor. Which you are perfectly entitled to have, but you should not be surprised when people who do not share those feelings don't find your arguments based on them compelling.

Of course it does. As a matter of fact tor cunts dingledine and
syverson are part of mit, or part of mit projects like
'dissent'.
So design your own?
