Notes -
I do think there was a clear political shift from some kind of ultra-ancap anti-state position in which all government power is illegitimate and the absolute imperative is to destroy the state because it is the state (rather than what it stands for or does, necessarily) to a more generic Twitter far right position in which a supremely powerful reactionary dictator or movement has to come to power to make the world the way it should be.
How much of that was driven by his X following / paying audience on Substack and how much is organic is the relevant question, I guess. But the number of true ancaps is clearly a tiny percentage of the number of mainstream far-rightists.
Kulak isn’t very intelligent and isn’t a very good writer. This has nothing to do with his ideology; there are people with ideas I find far more repellent here and elsewhere who I would freely admit are clearly intelligent, compelling writers. I think he has a kind of sincere autistic charm to him, but he’s not even 50th percentile smarts among regular contributors here.
