Sure. Most statists aren't totalitarians. There are some realms where they want state coercion and others where they don't.
Nightwatchmen minarchists generally support separation of money and state.
I reject ALL theft, force, coercion, murder, extorsion, etc., etc... No matter how minimalist someone else may be willing to "accept" it. I do not accept it.
Moreover - Another individual has no natural or legitimate ownership of me. I do not consent to anyone else's claims where I have not willfully contracted with them for any specific goods or services.
It does not matter if the person aggressing against me is a totalitarian, or a so-called minarchist... I DO NOT CONSENT.

I DO NOT CONSENT.
This is what I dislike the most about libertarians. It often comes across as very childish (no offense).
Like screaming into the void “that’s not fair!!”
Sorry, but life is about playing the hand that you’ve been dealt. We can try to improve matters, yes. But it’s not an improvement to get all riled up over stuff that you have no control over.

Amen, I'm a big fan of stoicism for leading a well balanced life.

Not offended. You can read it in whatever tone you choose. The fact is that I DO NOT CONSENT. That is placing emphasis on the fact of the matter.
Riled up? nearly 20 years of research, application, removal of self-recognized contradictions, sharing with others.... In other words - actual focused effort and specific action.... Nothing about my life screams "that is not fair."
My focus is on exposing statism as the morally bankrupt sacred cow that it is.
You can go right along with taking it up the ass if that is your prerogative.

You can live on Mars like Dr Manhattan (and you probably will if you’re this uncouth in person as well).
I would rather live in community with others. It comes with drama and conflict, yes. But to me, that is what makes life worth living.

"(and you probably will if you’re this uncouth in person as well)."
Uncouth because I have not engaged your attempts at drawing me into pointless ad hominem baiting? Cute.

No, “uncouth” because out of nowhere you spoke of me being sodomized.
Ohhhh... You are one of those people?

"I would rather live in community with others."
I enjoy community as well. [Preferably] one where people reciprocate respect. Pretty basic.
This as opposed to "the drama and conflict," that makes life "so worth living."

What kind of respect is not being given to you?
Drama and conflict occur even among those that do respect and love each other. That is not “disrespect”, it’s just an unavoidable part of living among other people that have their own will and desires.
We're definitely aligned on all that, but I don't see how it relates to the question.
