They tell me my heavy metal albums and Doom II floppies are responsible for my serial killing

  Those weren't designed to make you violent. Goebbels work on the other hand was, and it definitely was effective. Or how about the anti vaxxers, Q-anon believers, or the people that ransacked the capitol? They never watched any videos designed to drive them to cause harm, I assure you

    Dave Chappelle isn't calling for violence, though, not in any way, nor hinting at such, nor alluding to it, nor expressing any kind of support for it. I watched it the other day. Suggesting the stand-up comedy of Dave Chappelle is somehow akin to the work of Joseph Goebbels, how can someone respond to that? It's literally absurd. It's so outlandish that it can only serve to undermine whatever position you might want to argue.

      I didn't compare Dave Chapelle to Goebbels. I said film has the power to cause real harm and brought up historical examples. But he did in fact establish violence as a normal reaction in his set, multiple times. It sounded to me like he supports violence when I heard him. He told a story about how threatened to assault someone he assumed was gay, and then alluded to them being racist because they tried to call the police. Then he tried to justify assaulting someone else.
