      Tellingly, the excuses all contradicted each other. If violence were extraordinarily rare, there would be no reason to deny its status AS violence or to defend its tactical value—whereas if looting weren’t violent, its attention-grabbing power would be extraordinarily diminished.pic.twitter.com/O7JKibeAaW

      The contradictions suggest that the violence isn't rooted in ideology, but rather a kind of inchoate radicalism: a vague, burn-it-down impulse that has infected both sides of the aisle. And you'd be hard pressed to find a better example of symmetric polarization than Weimar.pic.twitter.com/AKbDZpziz2

      Part of the problem was that Weimar lacked a politically unifying moment in national history along the lines of the Declaration of Independence. A series of leftwing putsches left the Republic without an agreed-upon founding liturgy, exacerbating division and oikophobia.pic.twitter.com/ZQuqoP6IWy

      The Left hated everything about Germany, from its culture to its constitution, while the Right hated the constitution because it was insufficiently German—which is to say, insufficiently authoritarian. Centrists had little cultural influence, especially in the universities.pic.twitter.com/y9IB2pRFBp

      Beyond their shared anti-Republicanism, all that the two sides had in common was their contempt for one another. The left derided the right as backwards-looking and chauvinistic, while the right derided the left as self-hating and unpatriotic—all of which was completely true:pic.twitter.com/M5kF9QHutZ

      Both groups also lacked any sense of proportion—especially the communists, who called everyone to their right, including the Social Democrats, "fascists," an overused charge many intellectuals nonetheless echoed. All this had three pernicious consequences.pic.twitter.com/0Cmuwj3Q3O

      First, it hallowed out the center and made compromise impossible. Status attached to radicalism, so most status-seeking individuals sought to subvert the Republic. This meant crises were chronically mismanaged, which further undermined faith in the political order.pic.twitter.com/BG50rSypt7

      Second, it caused each side to resemble—and thus to justify—the other's caricatures. The German right really did have an authoritarian, militaristic streak; the German left really was contemptuous of the German people. So both sides felt vindicated in their own extremism.pic.twitter.com/S9EYOqGfjz

      Third, it laid the groundwork for political violence. If the Social Democratic government was a fascist regime, peaceful resistance would obviously be futile. And if it was just a Trojan Horse for communists, preserving order would paradoxically require rightwing revolution.pic.twitter.com/Ks2v8W8GjP

      Weimar's streetfighters were not terribly ideological themselves; many of them just wanted a thrill. But because elites had ideologized the violence, there was no non-polarizing way to address it. When the police did crack down on rioting, they just made everyone angrier.pic.twitter.com/XrPyXNMRBj

      The main thing I'm getting out of this is that they were training jiujitsu in Weimar Germany?

          They just don't make Antifa fighters like they used to.
