It's telling that they don't just tell the model what to think, they have to make it go fetch the latest opinion because there is no intellectual consistency in their politics. You see that all the time on X too, perhaps that's how they program their bots.

very few people have intellectual consistency in their politics

Fascism is notoriously an intellectually and philosophically inconsistent world view who's primary purpose is to validate racism and violence.

There's no world where the fascist checks sources before making a claim.

Just like ole Elon, who has regularly been proven wrong by Grok, to the point where they need to check what he thinks first before checking for sources.

Today is probably a good day for you to learn the definition of fascism, then. The axe in the fasces isn't a symbol of cutting firewood.

I suppose the sword in the hand of the lion of the coat of arms of Finland is for cutting elk meat.

It's not a hatchet, you can go Google what it looks like in <10 seconds. It's a halberd, a polearm used for harassing people at-range.

Plus, even if it was a symbolic hatchet, I don't think many civilians would like the notion of their government mutilating them and feeding them to a fire.

It’s a sword. And a sword is using for fighting.

“The coat of arms of Finland is a crowned lion on a red field, the right foreleg replaced with an armoured human arm brandishing a sword, trampling on a sabre with the hindpaws.”

But if it can be symbolic then the axe of the fasces (which, mind you, is a symbol of the Roman Empire, and not a fascist invention) is also symbolic.
