Tails is an absolute godsend for dictatorships (including tor too :>).

Even without dictatorship, it's really comforting to have a Tails USB stick with encrypted volume set up. Feels like a little home on the go in my pocket.

Besides that yeah (it's especially useful in dictatorships though) It's very comforting to have an extra line of security/privacy JIC you ever need it. Personally besides political dissent i think it's a little overkill but nice to have at all times eitherway :)
