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.
