The problem with Wignats is that they've never created something beautiful and they have nothing to lose.
Sure, they have effects and artsy edits, but what have they actually built? It seems like their movement has been rendered to the same 5-10k people refollowing one another.

I've been thinking about ways to expand political movements recently
Something that Nick has done is engage with people who we have fundamental disagreements with in a friendly ways. (More Than just a debate)
IRL Streamers gamers & politicians we don't agree with come to mind

When Nick went on MILO I was first introduced to him. I had heard about him, but him being on a platform with someone I knew of (MILO) at the time was an open invitation to listening to someone who I thought had "Fringe" Ideas.
When he said "Well Milo, Nigerians are 70% Christian and they're still ripping one another apart" I was practically convinced.
The point is Nick went on a show with someone he was politically opposed in a friendly manner for actual discussion and it won me over.

Wignats are vehemently opposed to this.
The only people who find their movement are lone wanderers, people left over from the Alt right days, and disaffected groypers.

It seems they've built no infrastructure of worth. What would you expect when you believe in no political solutions.
So now they attack those who have built something.
I believe that the AF bed was cringe. (Sorry, I just do)

But it's something that the Wignats (I generally dislike the term) do not have.
So when you get into the dirt with them, they have nothing to lose, and only instincts to attack. It's a bloody mess.

I rule of thumb is to just not engage and go on with my day. I figure kicking something when it's down is a harsh thing to do.
The purity spiral is something every group should be aware of. But we need not throw away morals for "Big Tent" politics like contemporary Con INC
