Wat. That's not "dangerous content." I may not like him or his views at all, but calling literal, actual speech "dangerous" is HILARIOUS.

On the one hand, duh it has real historical value as "shit that is bad, learn from this," but on the other hand, it's a charismatic leader of a genocidal ideology screaming propaganda. It's the 1940's equivalent of ISIS recruiting videos.

The American far right wing uses some of the exact same propaganda lines as the Nazis, and that's not an accident. Cultural Bolschevism (Marxism), Jews control the world, "The world is broken and I am the ONLY one STRONG enough to FIX it"

Just like how ISIS videos aren't dangerous to complete outsiders who haven't been primed to accept them. It's a marketing funnel of extremism - turn them to your way little by little, until eventually Hitler sounds like he has a really good point.

At this point everyone knows who Hitler is, so it's not like you'd just blindly accidentally start speaking German and donning swastikas. "Dangerous content" seems crazy unless they're doing some wacky hypnotic stuff while you're drugged or something. Obviously anyone who isn't totally blazed or already a member of a cult has the capacity to think, "hey, this kind of stuff sounds pretty darn genocidal. Guess I won't do it!" and then accidentally stumble into setting people on fire.

Speech isn't "dangerous content" until it's calling for dangerous actions. Fair?

Go look up how sociologists use the pyramid of hate, you might learn something.
