A person's "power level" indicates how deeply someone has fallen into fascist ideology. Internet Nazis often advise each other to "hide their power level" when speaking to those outside the fold, so as to avoid scaring away potential recruits with overt Nazi rhetoric or symbols (milk before meat). When a person uses such rhetoric in a public setting, they are "revealing their power level". The phrase comes from the Dragon Ball media franchise (It's over 9000!), and is also generally used on 4chan to describe one's knowledge of a topic, usually "nerd stuff" (so, in a non-Nazi usage, "hiding power level" may refer to not revealing too much about one's knowledge of video games, comic books, anime and other topics).

Levels that are usually over nine thousand.

What (actual) geeks have to do in situations where their nerd knowledge and/or abilities (with computers, video games, internet, et cetera) would come in handy, but using them would reveal to everyone that they are a geek. The phrase itself is taken from Dragon Ball Z. Also extends to anime fans who hide their interest to avoid being labeled as a weeaboo, or weeaboos in a social setting who actually manage to shut the fuck up for once.

when you hide your obsession with anime, manga, and japanese culture in general from the public eye.

The act of hiding your power level is to conceal your true intentions from other people. While hiding your true identity, you seek to convert a group of people to believe in your ideology. This can be done in forms of jokes, desensitizing people to the point where they wouldn't mind who you really are.

This comes from far right/left communities who float around Reddit, 4chan, and other internet forums. These people try to convince others into believing in their political ideologies. They do this in the form of jokes, slowly ramping them up over time until they are full blown statements of what they believe in, and by that point nobody speaks against it; you know, cause it's just a "joke".
