No really, Kristallnacht (Nov 1938) was nowhere near the first step, and people died that day.
Seriously, you're being incredibly offensive comparing Joe Rogan to what happened in Kristallnacht, and it's not ok to spread this online.

The first steps were easily 1933 if not earlier, though to be fair modern propaganda was new then, and it's more understandable if people didn't understand the risks.
From Wikipedia:
Conditions for German Jews began to change after the appointment of Adolf Hitler (the Austrian-born leader of the National Socialist German Workers' Party) as Chancellor of Germany on 30 January 1933, and the Enabling Act (implemented 23 March 1933) which enabled the assumption of power by Hitler after the Reichstag fire of 27 February 1933.[14][15] From its inception, Hitler's regime moved quickly to introduce anti-Jewish policies. Nazi propaganda alienated 500,000 Jews in Germany, who accounted for only 0.86% of the overall population, and framed them as an enemy responsible for Germany's defeat in the First World War and for its subsequent economic disasters, such as the 1920s hyperinflation and subsequent Great Depression.[16] Beginning in 1933, the German government enacted a series of anti-Jewish laws restricting the rights of German Jews to earn a living, to enjoy full citizenship and to gain education, including the Law for the Restoration of the Professional Civil Service of 7 April 1933, which forbade Jews to work in the civil service.[17] The subsequent 1935 Nuremberg Laws stripped German Jews of their citizenship and prohibited Jews from marrying non-Jewish Germans.
These laws resulted in the exclusion and alienation of Jews from German social and political life.[18] Many sought asylum abroad; hundreds of thousands emigrated, but as Chaim Weizmann wrote in 1936, "The world seemed to be divided into two parts—those places where the Jews could not live and those where they could not enter."[19] The international Évian Conference on 6 July 1938 addressed the issue of Jewish and Romani immigration to other countries. By the time the conference took place, more than 250,000 Jews had fled Germany and Austria, which had been annexed by Germany in March 1938; more than 300,000 German and Austrian Jews continued to seek refuge and asylum from oppression. As the number of Jews and Romani wanting to leave increased, the restrictions against them grew, with many countries tightening their rules for admission. By 1938, Germany "had entered a new radical phase in anti-Semitic activity".[20
Why don't you just censor it then? That's what you'd prefer, right? You don't know how to think, so you cannot handle something that differs from what's already in your head, so you want it to be silenced. This is because you've engaged the culture in a "consumerist" way, so you're not thinking critically.
What is "offensive"? It's a personal reaction. So, as single-basis for morality, is a non-starter. Incredibly seriously, the only one who is incredibly wrong here is you, by pretending your emotional reaction constitutes a moral reality. It's incredibly wrong to think you can fake-justify limiting people's freedoms because of your own emotions.
The second point is you can't use the memory of Nazi victims as a stick to beat others with or to try to silence them. That's an abuse of the victims, and an abomination. It is good to have this Wiki quote here as a reminder or what happened, and how they didn't really see the signs. Just like now, this is not the first step--I agree--and yet people, now, like then, are not seeing the signs of what this will be. He's not cancelled yet. Canceling Joe will be the West's Free speech Kristallnacht.
