@LukeAlmighty But the ones that bend don't remember. And they continue bending at every occasion for a long time. US is more than a decade since this political violence started, and normies still haven't taken a clear stance against it.
Again, people forget that this was Hitler's playbook too, with his brown shirts. This shit isn't new. It's a tactic that has been proven to work to gain political power fast.

The potential for a backlash does exist, but it takes far longer to manifest, to grow, to form a political movement, and strike back via democratic or non-violent means.
But if the ones using violence, use their gained political power to quickly infiltrate and reform power structures in their favor (with something like establishing DEI departments in every organization for example), you have the potential to prevent the opposition from being able to grow a movement and gain a foothold to any political power of it's own.

This is why the left has been using violence, and why it will continue to do so. Because it still has enough influence to trick normies into believing things like DEI are good and will solve the "social injustices" that drive BLM/Antifa to create chaos in the first place. And then they can use DEI to suppress the opposition that would revolt against their use of violence.

Hitler did this. Soviets did this. Mao did this to a ridiculous level. Steamroll radical governmental changes with the help of violence so that before the backlash has time to wake up and realize what's happening your new power structures effectively make opposition illegal.

This is what pisses me off about how EVERYONE has learned the wrong lesson after WW2/Nazi Germany. All that Europe and US paid attention to was "don't be racist", instead of learning to recognize dirty tactics such as this kind of political violence and riots.

People all over the world should have learned to recognize these signs, and nip it in the bud, with drastic measures if necessary, on day 1. There should have been MILLIONS of Kyle Rittenhouses, armed and ready at EVERY BLM/Antifa riot, with FULL societal approval and not a single tear being shed for casualties among the rioters.
Instead, all everyone cares about is "don't be racist", which just gave more political ammunition to the side that decided to adopt this yet another dirty political weapon.
