In fact, they claim to be pro America and pro democracy and have repeatedly expressed concerns about autocratically governed countries.
Just because you disagree with their ideals doesn't mean they're not holding to theirs
The concerns they've raised about authoritarianism is "AI enabling authoritarians."
When they push back on the US government wanting to use Claude to (legally) surveil US citizens, that still feels consistent to me as a concern about authoritarianism.
I think it's reasonable to hear high minded ideals and become skeptical, but in this case I'm surprised that people are trying to accuse them of hypocrisy
