It's not hypocrisy at all. You are forgetting one very important aspect. Kruw is a scumbag who doesn't use logic and reasoning when posting his messages, communicating with others, and thus Kruw logic should be used against him. His Kruw logic concluded that BlackHatCoiner, myself, the late o_e_l_e_o, and many others are all thieves who steal money every day. Kruw logic also can't differentiate between law enforcement confiscating data from a centralized service and the centralized service willingly handling that data over. Kruw logic will knowingly lie. Kruw logic attacks centralized mixers for being anti-privacy but advertises a service that voluntarily funded blockchain analysis companies - the enemies of privacy.

We have to use the same standards. Let's call it the Kruw logic standard. Based on that, Kruw is a proven scammer and money launderer for the Lazarus Group who needs to return the money that he stole together with his North Korean partners. If you have a problem with that, maybe you don't like Kruw logic or the Kruw logic standard. In that case, take it up with Kruw. Maybe you will find flaws in his overall logic and reasoning but don't apply one standard when it comes to others and a different one when it comes to Kruw.

I’m just using the same logic the entire population uses, not some arbitrary standard used to justify some flawed arguments. Any sensibly reasonable person can see you are saying contradictory things depending on the subject. Applying different rules to different groups is what we see from politicians.

Law enforcement having the ability to collect significant amounts of data is the problem with mixers. What zkSNACKs was doing required zero knowledge beyond what inputs were attempting to participate in a coinjoin. It might be bad PR when a service tries to implement compliance features, but it is false to say it is anti-privacy. Given the amount of scrutiny and persecution faced by developers, this has unfortunately been the route different privacy projects have had to take. Tornado Cash at some point began using a Chainalysis oracle. Railgun and Privacy Pools also try to prevent illicit funds from making use of their services.

The point about filtering is no longer even applicable, however, people still have a problem by shifting the goalposts to “why are you assisting the people we said should be allowed to use Wasabi”.
