I personally like to remember that people reading might hold the bad faith point (or something near it) in good faith, and answer to that. I think ELI5 as a community really shouldn’t have much sarcasm or dunking on folks, see rule 3 (and if you feel something is so bad faith it deserves it, maybe report it for rule 3?).
I think there are libertarians who hold this particular view without psychopathy: they might reason that governments are usually at the wrong scale to do things to help people, and that other systems outside of government should fill those gaps. There are plenty of libertarians that like/endorse/support people helping people in trade guilds, service organizations, and churches. I think there are leftists that make similar arguments sometimes, especially those that dislike hierarchy.

Thank you for explaining honestly.
