That's just it. I think if they were mocking Hitler, it's one thing. To ask his birth place like he's just another famous dude is in poor taste, especially now.

I haven't seen any hysteria, but you're probably right.

I took it as in general,  the little shit that is sending people off the deep end these days would be comical if it didnt usually lead to some new cause getting headlines and new taboo things that we cant say or do.

I agree.  I personally probably wouldn't include him in trivia, but I don't see the big issue.  One of the most talked about men in history.

yep,  of course this was in response to the over the top in your face that is the woke movement.  I doubt anybody says shit about the beer cans if we werent bombarded with woke shit about trans, gay, whatever at about every possible waking moment,  and called all sorts of names if you dont bow to the woke idea of the day.

That was for bad judgement + not getting permission. I dont know where you "get permission" but I think someone on YouTube got their undies in a bundle.

Well now YouTube is likely facing the woke wrath for having hitlers image online.  But where is the bad judgement,  for shit sake it was a trivia game to fill time before a football gave,  if it was part of the halftime show I could maybe understand but is this real now?  Its not like he isn't a historical figure.  I just don't see the bad judgement.
