My impression of typical far-right ideology is that the only reason its proponents care about privacy is insofar as it supports their actual value of not having anyone, and particularly not the government, interfere with their ability to do whatever they want.
There's also the atypical subgroup that fancies themselves to be an underground resistance organization and care about privacy for that reason, but they seem to be rather atypical and also seem to be the sort of people who use Bitcoin "because it's untraceable".
