On StormFront, basically everybody agrees with you and you don't have much hope of changing anybodies opinion, plus governmental agencies might put some effort into identifying people on StormFront and getting them into trouble. And the same goes, perhaps even more so, on the dark-web forums.

Why were you posting hate speech on Facebook?

If your ISP cares about you using Tor, unless you're in certain countries, you need a different ISP. My ISP is Comcast and they aren't going to do dick if I use Tor.

Because I wanted to influence peoples' votes. I wanted the left-wingers to win. And the right-wingers were constantly talking about how terrible the Massacre of Vukovar was and how we should do everything we can to prevent it from happening again (of course, by increasing the already-too-high taxes and investing in the military, making our country even more bankrupt, and whether it makes us any more secure is questionable). And I posted that, for all we know, the Massacre of Vukovar might not even have happened, and, if it did happen, it's quite possible Croatian politicians such as Mile Dedakovic or Franjo Tudman let it happen on purpose. I don't even really see why that's "hate speech".

Well, I am pretty sure the CarNET ISP collects a lot of data about us, it's a government-owned company. It also (I haven't checked it lately, but I assume it still does that) blocks pornographic sites, so I assume it actually logs every site we try to connect to.
Now, whether the CrisisConnection ISP (which I am using right now) collects my data, I am not so sure. It definitely receives a lot of its revenue from government funding, and I wouldn't be so sure part of the reason the government gives it money is not the user data.
I am even less sure of that of the ISPs with a lot of users, such as T-COM, B-NET, and OPTIMA. It's certainly possible, if not probable, that advertising companies pay them for the user data.
Before Snowden revealed PRISM, everyone was sure NSA didn't make American ISPs and other Internet companies spy on American citizens (and everyone using their services, including many people in Europe and even China).

Well, using Tails as your primary OS doesn't sound like a good idea to me. Your primary OS should have useful apps such as, for example, LibreOffice or GIMP. Office Online is basically useless with TOR because of the high latency. And even assuming LibreOffice works with Tails (Linux distributions are compatible enough that Hello World program can be made to work on all Linux distributions with the same processor architecture, but not much more than that), you still need to download it, and downloading large files over Tor is not secure (and it's very slow). Attempting to route all your traffic through Tor will likely make it possible for your ISP to see you are using Tor, because it's unlikely that all the legitimate traffic from your computer would be random noise or routed through Azure.

As already noted, unless there are significant consequences for your ISP noting it, you don't have much of a point. Odds are you'll suffer fewer consequences from using Tor than for posting a meme on Facebook, privacy considerations included.

Well, when I posted on FaceBook that I think the Massacre of Vukovar didn't happen, I got banned and all my posts had been deleted before many people could have seen what I wrote. If it wasn't the 20th of November, perhaps FaceBook wouldn't have acted so aggressively, but I foolishly decided to post that right on the 20th of November. When I think about it right now, maybe FaceBook has saved me of much greater trouble. Maybe it would have been worse had it stayed on-line all my life, and I was only 14 when I posted that. Still, I don't see why they had to delete all my posts and forever prevent me from signing up to FaceBook under my name.

I will grab me coat.

For those who didn't understood the joke.
127.0.0.1 is the local IP address of the computer system itself but not the network card of the computer (The IP address of a network card usually begin by 192.168 and someone must be into your network to communicate with this IP address).
That means someone who want to hack a computer with IP address 127.0.0.1 would hack its own computer.

This address (127.0.0.1) is used by the computer to communicate with itself while the IP address of your network card (The IP address of a network interface card usually begin by 192.168 and someone must be into your network to communicate with this IP address) is used to communicate with your modem.
When the modem receive packets it will analyze these and if there are destinated to your desktop with the IP address 192.168.1.2 the modem would transmit the packets to your computer.
If the modem does receive packets destinated to the IP address 192.168.1.3 that is the laptop of your sister. It would send these to the laptop.
If the modem does receive packets destinated to the IP address 192.168.1.4 that is the tablet of your brother. It would send these to the tablet.

Local IP addresses (Those in format 192.168.X.X in our example) aren't used to communicate over Internet but inside your local network (Home network in our example).
If you say to a man you live in the flat 827 it wouldn't be able to reach you if it doesn't know the street of the municipality in which you live.
Local IP addresses used by network interface card are like apartments numbers.

Do you know it is possible to have an ISP from another country than our because it does exist ISPs with communication over satellite if you live in a country with only one ISP ?
But someone using a Satellite to use Internet need to be cautious because it can be illegal in the country or needing an authorization.
Communications over Satellite can be easily monitored and if the authorities of the country in which you live can do so you would be detected and certainly placed on a Watch-list. Even if the authorities of the country aren't able to decipher packets send over Tor they can have ideas about what you do because of packets sizes.

If they are looking for a dissident posting messages against the regime in a Tor forum.
They could understand you are this dissident if they see a correlation between timestamps of messages posted and a time correlation with interceptions of your communications over satellite.
If they saw the dissident was posting messages at each time you was connected they could understand this person is you with timestamp and packets analysis even if they can't decipher packets.

How can they forever prevent you from signing
up for Facebook under your real name?
Surely you are not the only person in the world
with your name.

Yes, I did, which is why I made the qualification about the country that you are in. That you feel the need to point this out after I explicitly pointed it out in my qualification has me wondering exactly what your point is?
