I like Cato because while they're libertarian they're also sincere, ie they also stand up and take lumps for an open-borders immigration policy and call out institutional racism and so on.
Most libertarian sites and writers, though, just offer anti-government claptrap on top of some shallow tropes of rugged individualism. If you want to find out how serious a libertarian is, make them tell you how they'd deal with the problem of crime, using real-world examples of vulnerable people and populations.
I'm in favor of governance that maximises liberty, as outlined in the Declaration of Independence. People who say they want to abolish government are either living in a fantasy world or aim to set up an autocratic government of their own, sometimes both.
