>For example, I've met quite a bit of people that don't want to pay any taxes. Yet they all want for them and their goods to be able to use roads for free, roads that are built and maintained with taxes.
That's a complete strawman and you know it. Any libertarian would say they'd be happy to pay to use privately-run roads.
>No idea why they are not able to understand that both things are incompatible. If there is some option that allows both that I am missing, they didn't manage to explain that.
Privately owned/built roads! These even already exist: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Private_highways_in_the_United_States https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Private_highways_in_the_United.... What's hard to understand about roads being built by people that aren't the government? Yes such roads might not be as optimally placed/efficient, but the libertarian's goal isn't efficiency, it's minimising what they consider the moral injustice of taxation.
