I think there's more overlap than we've seen in our lifetimes which makes it hard to believe. That's the nature of the crisis stage (of the fourth turning), it's a decision point because the options are few, and the factions naturally demarcate along ideological lines.
After the crisis we'll go back to business as usual, good times for awhile that yield to narcisssim, then an unraveling, then another crisis in about 80 years. The cycle is as inevitable as the expansion and contraction of the universe or the change of seasons.
Also why anarchists are delusional narcissists. The state is emergent. (and I say that as an ideological ancap that's simply accepted the world for what it is)

ideological ancap
Yeah, I feel that. We can't live in fairy land. Much of this stuff is just a distraction from problems in our own lives and communities that we can affect. There is massive value in understanding how the world works if for no other reason than what to ignore and what to focus on. Most of the news is just noise. Checking the weather is kinda how I view it. In that I mean looking at the clouds, not literally believing what is said.

I have had the feeling for decades now that there are forces in this world trying to keep men passive and ineffective in their families, and communities. Big man-children that are simply existing to entertain themselves. Not taking responsibility or opening their eyes to the signs of the times.
