Geode, I think you haven't met one who can live by their ideology because they are all stuck in the prison of the kleptocratic suffocatocracy. It's hard to demonstrate liberty from inside a concentration camp. I don't think any of those in Auschwitz demonstrated libertarianism either. One has to be free to choose what to do to live by one's ideology.
Maybe you could approach it from the other end and tell me if there is anything that shouldn't be controlled by Big Brother.
You like regulation, control, permits, conscription, compulsion, central authority, government ownership and so on and on and on, presumably you being the one in control. I like freedom, meaning I am deciding for myself. What's annoying is bossy people like you telling people like me what's going to happen to them - like, "Get in the army and start saluting and no, we aren't going to pay you much at all, but you can go in the front line while we, the bosses, stay back here and organize more of you and sales of the oil. Heck, somebody has to bank the profits".
