All the cool kids in my circle of the Internet are into it, but I’m *not* a state capacity libertarian. Seems too close to “tyranny is fine so long as it’s Effective and Competent.” It’s like people are applying for jobs with tinpot dictators or something.
I mean, I thought that was mainstream American IR since 1945 but hasn’t been said out loud much recently. I don’t know how I feel about it but I do think it’s a shame it can’t speak in its own voice.
