How to keep alignment across multiple align environments?
documentclass[letterpaper,10pt]{article}
usepackage{amsmath}
begin{document}
begin{align}
w &z &t
end{align}
begin{align}
w+w+w+w &z+z+z+z &t+t+t+t
end{align}
end{document}
On their own, these are going to have differently aligned columns. Is there a way to keep at least some of the alignment across different align environments the same?

I have two large and distinct text sections with their own titles and such yes. I do not want them altered and intertext will not solve anything. As far as I know there is possibly some way to use fleqn.

If you're unable to use intertext, you need to identify the widest element around each alignment. And the easiest way to capture these "widest elements" is using eqparbox. Below I define eqmathbox[<tag>][<align>]{<stuff>} that puts its contents <stuff> in a box of widest width across all of the same <tag> with a specific <align>ment.
documentclass{article}
usepackage{amsmath,eqparbox,xparse}
% https://tex.stackexchange.com/a/34412/5764
makeatletter
NewDocumentCommand{eqmathbox}{o O{c} m}{%
IfValueTF{#1}
{defeqmathbox@##1##2{eqmakebox[#1][#2]{$##1##2$}}}
{defeqmathbox@##1##2{eqmakebox{$##1##2$}}}
mathpaletteeqmathbox@{#3}
}
makeatother
usepackage{lipsum}
begin{document}
lipsum*[1]
begin{align}
eqmathbox[left][r]{w} &eqmathbox[centre][l]{z} & eqmathbox[right][r]{t}
end{align}
lipsum*[2]
begin{align}
eqmathbox[left][r]{w+w+w+w} & eqmathbox[centre][l]{z+z+z+z} & eqmathbox[right][l]{t+t+t+t}
end{align}
lipsum*[3]
end{document}
The alignment choice matches that of the R&L & R&L ... style of align.
Since eqparbox uses TeX's label-ref-like system in order to manage the lengths, you'll need to compile at least twice with every change in the widest element per <tag>.
