If you've spent any significant time engaged in libertarian activism, or even if you haven't, you've probably heard people say things like, "Well, I have a life, I don't have time to play activist", or "those people are losers without real jobs or responsibilities", etc. I can't count how many times I've heard non-activists make comments like these in an effort to dismiss activists and their efforts. Living in the SF Bay Area where most people are politically on the left, I most often hear such complaints voiced against left-wing activists (often by right-wingers who are quite statist and not necessarily contributing much of meaning to society themselves), but it sounds much the same when they are voiced by statists against libertarians.
