What would you rather they do? Let themselves be stolen from? Personally hunt down the people that wronged them? That's what happened when certain gangs lost money on crypto. This is a lame "gotcha" whether you like crypto or not.
1. Realize their stance is flawed, change it and go to the police
2. Stick to their stance and not go to the police
3. Ignore the cognitive dissonance and pretend going to the police is coherent with their political ideas. Rationalize about why in this narrow case it would be okay.
Now you can guess which one it will be yourself. As this is purely hypothetical talk about an stereotypical archetype of person, things may differ in the single case.
Personally I think just because you are stupid doesn't mean you forfeit your right to call the police. It just makes you a fucking hypocrite if you aren't consequential enough to adjust your stance to the choices you made (or adjust the choices you make to your stance).
¹: there are many flavours of anti-government, but we are talking about views, if fully realized would leave our victim with no police they could go to. Maybe they could beg in front of a local war lord?
If you don't acknowledge the flaws in your ideas, that's not really hypocrisy, but it is very dishonest.
I can spell it out more abstractly:
1. Crypto bros are known for their "crypto is great because we can get rid of the role of the state within currency"-stance
2. Something bad happens to their crypto
3. They run to the authority of the state to resolve the issue
Do simple people know that they put their money into useless "technologies" that are fundamentally fragile and they are at risk of losing everything as soon as there are advances in computing (breaking sha/ecc, doing 51% attack)? They don't. So, that's really stealing, on a grand scale. This 21 million should be an award for the hackers, really. Unless ETH wants to change the "immutable blockchain" once again ))) noone cares these days anyways
