I'd be a libertarian if they didn't require that stupid pledge about not rising up in force or whatever it was.

Not wanting to have a half trillion dollar war machine running during peacetime is something I actually understand about libertarians.
What about the complete disregard for the environment? Libertarians often have the audacity to say that under an unfettered free market, market forces and tort law will control pollution, contamination, excessive emissions, etc. Living in a coalsmoke saturated atmosphere reduces life expectancy by
years, and yet we get corporate-funded deviousness like "clean coal" and "coal=jobs". It's really entertaining listening to the bullshit libertarians and far-right conservatives come up with in an attempt to make environmental policy that seems convincing.
