The open borders shit is one of the big things that soured me on Libertarianism, if you don't defend your borders you don't have a country. I gave up on it entirely when I realized that leaving others alone is self-destructive when they won't leave you alone and the left will just consume all if unopposed, it felt like the Libertarian Party was designed to make people into pushovers.
Yeah basically (as Rand observes) some are anarchists - well that's the fastest way to tribalism/statism. Then the border thing, 100%. The other big one for me was that open trade also sounds like a good idea, but no one wants that to be fair either, and it's never in the United States favor - something DJT actually did/will do something about.
