Yes, I get it, and the sentence should reflect whether it actually precipitated any actual harm or violence, but if I go into the street and start chanting "burn this building fuck these people burn this building..."etc. I can and should be arrested even if no one gives a shit I'm saying that.

did he actually ‘smash the hotel’

No but it was a literal incitement to violence which is its own crime, separate from the conduct of the crime. I don’t know if it would be prosecuted in the states but its different than the quotations from the video which was much less.

giving someone 20 months in jail for a shitpost is a slippery slope

I think I addressed the sentencing issue already above and I agree.
