Ginwilly answered this pretty well, but I will add a bit.
I don't know of any libertarian who opposes birth control. I certainly don't.
Some libertarians oppose abortion, some support the right. It is a complex question. My personal position is that I fully support abortion rights up to some number of weeks of gestation, probably around 16 weeks. That strikes me as plenty of time to get an abortion for convenience. For life threatening issues, I would extend that time. I also hope like hell I am never in a position to be forced to make such decisions.
The civil rights act has an opposing constitutionally guaranteed right in the first amendment: the right of association. If David Duke does not want to serve blacks in his diner, that should be his right. He owns the diner after all. If the right reverend Wright does not want to minister to creepy ass crackers, that is his right and I am certainly not going to violate his 1st amendment right of association and force him to hang around with whitey.
I am not aware of any libertarians who oppose marriage equality. There probably are some though. For me, I just don't give a shit who somebody else fucks or marries, it is none of my business.
Your statement that "most libertarians are" is wrong. As usual, you have a distorted image in your mind that is divorced from reality.
I have never met a racist libertarian, but it is a wide world and there probably are some.

so you dont have a solution to resource distribution or division of labour
everyone will live in yurts made from the skins of whatever animal they can kill themselves, they will pound corn on the lanes of a ruined interstate,, wear leather clothes that will last them the rest of their lives, and climb the wrist thick vines which slowly tear down skyscrapers and wonder at the mysterious power their ancestors used to construct their dead cities.
but somehow The Humongous and his horde of anarcho-barbarians will never discover that they can simply take what they want

i was raised as a survivalist, by men anticipating the coming collapse of civilization, and the first thing drilled into my head was:
When society collapses, you will need weapons and the skill and will to use them.
this was not to ensure "equality" but to protect what you work for, build and grow, from those who want what you have but dont feel like working for it.
in your fantasyland you must somehow ensure that everybody has everything they need or want, and nobody can have more than the other guy, otherwise somebody will re-discover violence and theft.
you must be a powerful sorcerer to pull of that awesome trick.
or it is just a childish fantasy.

So you have lived your whole life believing some dystopian post apocalyptic bullshit and basing your world view on it. No wonder you support the worst policies and candidates. You can go on and on about how I'm a utopian, but you are a dystopian with a sick fantasy about the collapse of our civilization.
Just to put this even more into perspective how useless your views are to me, I don't give a fuck what you think about survival. You could not possibly teach me a fucking thing about survival-- especially martial skills. You'll never come close to my experience and you'll never even be as fit for survival as I am. I have already been through your sick fantasy. You have probably never even left your county. You have no fucking clue what the world is really like.
Dude, your mom never read you the story of the three little pigs, did she.

just because you have survived in some sort of iraqi dystopian bullshit hellscape does not give you any right to criticize our barely-above-min-wage earning friend here.
do you have any idea of the hell he must endure every day of his life?

Let's not confuse what is today with "civilization" as in, this is as good as it gets or can possibly be. Also the collapse of the present day systems of bondage what you term "civilization" may be necessary for real human progress to occur.
Yes there have been technological advances, but I'd say humans still are pretty primitive in the way they interact with each other. So maybe, the "collapse" of a hierarchy maintained by force is a chance for something else to replace it. You fear the anarcho boogey man, but don't recognize his evil brother, "the state" is already among you.

Somewhere on the fringes of your traveling sphere, there is a Wendy's with a clean floor. Your mission is to seek these out. Go forth young man and fecallate.

LOL... Pot + Kettle = Buck
By your own admission, you make less than Californian minimum wage...
So in other words, your reported annual income is less than half the annual earnings of a full time minimum wage worker in California.
Unless I'm mistaken it was the "Dumb Fuck" part that gave it the hook.
And it wasn't me.
And I'm holding my breath on the second part.

Internet Toughguy rating 4/10
Vague as to your general superiority
Lacking personal threats
Insufficient boasting of your Gorilla Warrior Skills
Good Effort
but you again declined to explain exactly what form of commerce would replace capitalism in your Anarcho-Candyland, or how you would defend your magical realm against those who would sieze your candy by force and institute their own brand of hierarchy on your helpless and hapless childlike innocence

The problem with what you said? There already IS a brand of hierarchy that seizes your candy. Are you not seeing it? Why hasn't the "magic" of the Constitution prevented it?
