Imagine how far less intrusive a government that gets it's revenue from:

* Tariffs
* Per Capita/Head Tax

would be over income taxes.

Why are so many glibertarians opposed to replacing the income tax with Tariffs?

Because one of the Libertarian tenets is the free flow of people and capital across borders.

Correct.

"I'll shoot you if you enter my private property border, which is an abstract concept guaranteed by governance, but I don't recognize national borders, which is also an abstract concept..."

Libertarians seem to lack the concept of civic virtue.

Life experience taught me that libertarians are just people who believe in freedom when it benefits them, and not at all when there is no benefit. Being for free trade is great when you get cheap labor from overseas but sell in US at higher prices. They aren't too crazy about you buying stuff from China directly without them as a middle man... suddenly needs regulation. I don't see libertarians any different than anyone else.

Everything is so manipulated, I don't even know what the truth is anymore. Liberals used to be for freedom, now are like zombies on a farm repeating whatever left wing propaganda about illegals being more important than the rest of us. Conservatives basically were assholes who loved money and big corporate donors while hating working man, that is still there, but kinda mixed with Trump populism. I don't know it anymore.

That is a left-wing caricature of a Conservative. What you are actually describing is the elite, which is what today's Dems have evolved into.
