Also, the chances of an ancap future? Literally less then zero. I could imagine floating white ethno-state islands like Bioshock Infinite before I could imagine before I could imagine a sucessful transition to anarcho-capitalism, unless it's of the distinctly Pinochet version of basically just NeoLiberalism on steroid.
Stopped giving a shit about the Far-right and its rise

most alt-right kids are just alienated nobodies like me who are never going to be anywhere within smelling distance of the kind of power required to instigate real social change. Aside from a bit of low level pseudo-political argy bargy with their leftoid counterparts on the street (mostly in burgerstan) that is precisely equivalent to the mods vs rockers shit in the 60s, there can't actually really do anything except make shitlibs assmad online. playing with them on the internet is just forum wars for the consolidated social media era - fun sometimes, infuriating sometimes, but purely for entertainment.
alt-lite is a little different in that it is populated largely by semi-celebs, journos and media personalities but is also really nothing but boomer conservatism with a flashy new logo

Depends on what you consider "far-right".
The actual far-right, various Dick Spencers of the world, are a distraction. It's funny though - they're a distraction for the liberals themselves, a feel-good story about bi-polarity of the world cast in an anachronistic 1940s setting, with liberals as heroes opposing unspeakable evil hiding in people (read: their outgroup).
A populist right that has figured out that liberals fucked up and there's an anti-globalist, anti-market backlash on a horizon, though? They're real and dangerous precisely because they're nothing like what liberals wish they were. There won't be any ethnic cleansing or concentration camps under their watch. There won't be any new wars either, at least for now. They'll just rein in the most visible excesses of capitalism, to the benefit of almost everyone. Then they'll use the political capital thus acquired to dismantle democratic institutions that they never cared about and cement their own rule for decades to come.

I'm just apathetic to the whole political scene now. I want the left succeed but no one on the left wants to win, it's like they want their ideas to be some unacceptable, quasi-contrarian, oppressed group. Though I fear the thought of a fascist group gaining power, I feel like it'd be the only thing that would slap the left across the face to get it's shit together.
I could see floating cities as global warming becomes more of a reality. I see the future as more neoliberalism mixed with some nationalist populist rhetoric thrown in to keep the reactionaries happy and distracted with migration issues
I wish I could be this naive

But that's wrong.

Watching the vid, but I'm pretty sure the user was reffering to economic liberals and not necessarily SJWs (correct me if I'm wrong ancom poster).
Robert Parker
No. Both dogue and that stupid mick bitch nagle are scared of criticizing liberals, like every fucking twitter leftist, that's why they both downplay the role liberalism has in all this.
