Seriously though, I have known four people who identified themselves as staunch libertarians and three of them were deranged in some manner.

Of the four, one was a survivalist gun nut who wanted to live off the grid on 2 acres of weed-chocked land and actually wanted me to join him in his endeavor. The second guy was a complete nerd who had a unhealthy fascination with transhumanism and desired to be an immortal cyborg. I don't think I'll ever forget the anime posters were plastered all over his cubicle. Another guy was ex-military and a conspiracy theorist who believed in the NWO and UN black helicopters spiel. He happened to sit a few cubicles away from the transhumanist guy. The fourth was an undergrad econ professor. While he did look like a stereotypical libertarian (overweight, neckbeard, giant glasses), he wasn't ****ed in the head and knew his Austrian Economics.

Libertarianism is not without merits, it just so happens that most of the people identify themselves as libertarians are insane.
You pretty much covered all the bases.
