My problem is that the world I want physically doesn't exist
I think this is how we all feel, once we "wake up" as they used to say. My home and culture was violently destroyed by the federal government pushing numerous "progressive" or "economical" rulings, and we are now basically dead and treated as a living punchline by our entire country.
Almost all current "victory" conditions the people I am forced to align with, as they are the closest with any chance of enacting anything, fill me with disgust at how milquetoast and lacking in karma they are, yet I swallow that in hope that the future we are building is worth letting those compromises happen.
I do want to also point out that you're not wrong to cite either the Koch Brothers Libertarians who something something mass migration is innately good. Where they're calling Socialism of the regime approved corporate fiction as: "Free Market Capitalism". These are unquestionably the enemy, and frankly socialists wearing gold. I consider them no different from Hasan Piker.
On the other hand, you've got the Ideology Autistic Lolberts who don't understand that the "Non Aggression Principle" is a purely ideological construct that hardly any civilization has been allowed to tolerate by governments and their slaves. Thus, because they pull from Liberal Universal Morality, that every people will just innately accept the principle. They don't realize that Libertarianism is a kind of "Anglo-Saxon-in-the-woods Sharia", nor do they understand that the out-spoken individualist and his whole family are normally raped and murdered by a lynch mob of the tyrant's vassals at the first sign of contrarianism. The only individualist societies that have survived have done so because they were marshal societies that were heavily armed and trained. Less than a handful of civilizations have embraced something akin to it in history, and the very idea of individuality in the modern context exists exclusively because of the gun functioning as a massive force multiplier for the individual against the mob.
So, you're not wrong, but I do think there are a minority of legit libertarians who genuinely understand the problem with deficit spending and do truly want to reduce the size of the government. The others may be either ideologically captured, or socialist skin-walkers.

In every group there is the "good ones" who are somehow able to live and breathe against their stereotype and general predisposition. Once you reach a decent enough mass, its inevitable by the force of human individuality to happen.
The question is always how rare these individuals are, compared to the majority who are decidedly not them. This is how the line gets drawn on things like the "good" races versus the "remove entirely" which is how you get things like Asians being treated as less bad than blacks in the racism community.
In the case of lolbertarians, I think its unfortunately such a vanishingly small percentage that its almost not worth thinking about. Much like communism, the type of personality and mindset that draws someone to the ideology comes from a specific type of flawed individual and thereby you see a lot of the same failings and hypocrisies arise. Those who can rise above those failings, often seem to just leave the label and trappings behind entirely even if they make technically still fall under it.
