You're describing a cartoon character, not the psychology of a human being.
Headline isn't clickbait; your comment is deceptive. The article actually says this:

"If Sidewalk Labs has access to people’s unique paths of movement prior to making its synthetic models, wouldn’t it be possible to figure out who they are, based on where they go to sleep or work?"

People can read the article for themselves and see for themselves.

If they really believe in their ideals, they should do the hard work to change the laws in their favor, or cleverly use already existing ones, instead of childishly isolating themselves from society and the government as outlaws.

There is a precedent for this: the 18th and 19th century religious communes -- some of them anarchist -- had popular support and were able to change US laws so that they could avoid taxes and live in peace as gated utopias in the way they wanted -- because they didn't antagonize the rest of society or the US government.

Or, put another way, they were anarchists that did politics maturely and succeeded (even though their utopias didn't).
