Selling Libertarianism, a school of thought espousing the virtues of liberty (freedom of choice, association, etc.) as a concept "very much about restrictions," (your words) is absurd ^^ Hence, you're being contrarian. It is only concerned with restriction of liberty insofar as that liberty infringes upon the Liberty of another.
The point is, as you restrict Liberty, you become less libertarian ^^

And how is a libertarian order maintained? Think through how freedom of association will play out when you inevitably have people in conflict in proximity of one another. It will involve restricting people and physically removing them until they decide to "freely associate" elsewhere, e.g. in a different community.
I'd encourage you to read libertarian philosophers who address these issues e.g.
Democracy, the God that Failed.
