Imagine:

- "this chisel was used to carve profanity"

- "this pen and paper was used to write statements against the king"

- "this scrivener was hired to write blasphemous pamphlets"

- "this printing press was used to create literature promoting the enemy"

- "notepad was used to create disturbing content"

These types of constructions are all in passive voice too. I can hear my English teacher saying "[by ???]"!!!

It's shocking that anyone working in politics would think this is a good idea. If it hadn't been Adolf Hitler, it would have been some other odious figure. Don't give other people the opportunity to put words in your mouth.
