SJW's hijack things. They don't need to create their own party. They just hijack or coopt things that already exist.

Makes them sound like a screechy, wimpier version of the Borg really....
That sounds Swedish, if you ask me.

The thing is, to understand the SJW is to understand their core credo: "the personal is political" and its supplementary axiom "everything is power politics".
Once you understand that these two sentences are the mantra for the average SJW, you will start to realize why they are what they are.
Apology is defeat. Concessions are defeat. Understanding the opposite side is defeat. There is no such thing as bad tactics, only bad targets.
Nearly everything they do stems from those two statements.
Once upon a time I wrote a fanfic with an unrelated quote that ended up being very apt in describing these sorts easily: "there are people who you cannot persuade with all the logic in the world, these people only understand the language of power".

The most hilarious thing is, Slaaneshi cults in lore are heavily connected with images of depraved nobles, aristocratic decadence, etc. And they just totally ignore all that and focus on teh geyz.

I think they can even somehow coop Heinlein or Rand
Indeed. Though, I wonder if it is in part due to the fact that this is lost on people these days. That people seem to have forgotten this concept, though given how depraved the elite can be and still often is, I am not sure why. Such as people massively misunderstanding the Aristocrats joke.

The Aristocrats - TV Tropes
Few comedians truly tell jokes. A proper joke seldom fits the format and atmosphere of stand-up comedy, and jokes end as soon as the audience knows the punchline. One joke prevails over all others, however: The Aristocrats, a joke comedians keep …

That reminds me - the argument that constantly recurs with this lot that the only truly moral thing to do in the 40k setting is kill everyone.

How about avoid misunderstandings between your brothers & sons? Misunderstandings include not being in contact with each other, projecting horrible perceptions on someone else, not telling people stuff and expecting them to just follow along whilst their minds kinda run over stuff

Let's kill everyone with Chaos so they won't be killed by Chaos! Or Let's kill everyone with Necrons so they won't get killed by Necrons! Etc.
I am pretty sure even the Catalyst wasn't that dumb. I mean his logic made sense in a paperclip maximizer way.

I think the logic is "everyone is a fascist, and fascists should be killed, so kill all the fascists."
But wait, if everyone is a fascist, wouldn't that mean that no one is?

Nope, that just means no matter what you do, you're an evil bastard
If so, it's time to redefine what is "evil" and/or just find out what is right and wrong the hard way and remember to try and feel what it'd be like in the place of another
The Gold & Silver Rules are a start
"There is no such thing as innocence, only degrees of guilt."
Or, for our wannabe stalinist on our sister sites: "Give me a man and I will find the crime."
