Most Libertarians are Libertarians because A) They just want to be left alone, and B) They cannot fathom a just government existing.
If this describes you, I urge you to study history. There have indeed been benevolent governments in the past, and it is possible for them to arise again.
If you opt out of the game of governance altogether, don’t be surprised when the quality of governance continues to degrade.
And if you cannot find any historic examples of stateless utopias, consider that it is a fantasy to believe they will magically come into existence now without any collective action being taken.
This is why Curtis Yarvin refers to Libertarians as LOLbritatians.

quoting note1drv…v3qrMy friend, we are both the sculptor and the clay.
It is possible to have a benevolent government. I know it’s hard to believe today. But there have been good emperors of Rome, good presidents of the United States, good kings in European history.
Admitting defeat without even trying to improve governance isn’t noble, it’s pathetic.
