Greek philosophers in 300 BC: Hey, so electoralism is a rigged game, because only wealthy and prestigious families have enough money to finance the popularity contest to get themselves or their puppet candidates elected. Marxists in the 1800s: Electoralism is a rigged game. Capitalists stack every election with their puppets. Political power is subservient to economic power. Liberals in the 2020s: No, electoralism has never worked. But it might work for us this time.

    Yeah... IMO it is important to fact check especially when someone tries to push views that seem extreme and missing the nuance I would expect from reality. But fact checking with AI might be too lazy.

    Who to believe - a random image online or a neural net with the ability to search a few pages online?
