Well, that's not true. The rights of others are only supposed to be impenetrable by law, not impenetrable to reason. Its quite the opposite.
For instance, like minded libertarians could have a global collective without being "hypocritical", it would simply be by choice of every individual through mutual conscent, as opposed to by force. You could sacrifice every right you have by contract, under libertarianism, as long as it is done by free will mutual conscent, void of force, fraud or coercion.
The description in the OP is a one sided slant explanation, that doesn't really grasp the value of libertarianism.

Populism allows the majority to violate the rights of others, so therefore it is the "fasces" that extends your influence beyond that of yourself.

How on earth, would this be a benefit?

I wouldn't say that, but instead would say it allows the individual to exercise the "perogative" of competent defense in all forms.
