the paradox of the deeply conservative anti-federal government types who work for the government - directly or as a fed contractor
Those are the people who have a realistic, first hand understanding of the government innerworkings.
Also, a contradiction between believing that allocation of capital would be more efficient under a less centrally-influenced system, and being willing to accept higher pay and benefits from one of the central institutions only exists if you believe that individuals should strive for public good even at great personal expense. Which strikes me more as a moral view taken by nationalists than libertarians.
