I appreciate dialogues with artificial intelligences as they help at times to look at things from a point of view other than your own.

Please note, that Artitifical Intelligences can make mistakes, just like humans. Adititionally they can tend to fantasies. The Artiticial Intelligence used here was Guanaco 65B.

The dialog was done in German, I asked the machine to translate its answers into English.

User: Why do people follow right-wing populists?

Guanaco: There are various reasons why people follow right-wing populists. Some of the most common reasons are:

• Anger and disappointment with established politics: Many people feel that they are no longer represented by established politics and believe that right-wing populists address their problems and promise solutions.
• Fear of change: In a rapidly changing world, people may be afraid of losing something or being left behind. Right-wing populists often promise to stop changes and take society back to the "good old days".
• Unhappiness with the economy: In many countries, many people are worried about unemployment and poverty. Right-wing populists often promise to solve these problems through protectionist measures and supporting local businesses.
• Xenophobia: Many right-wing populists emphasize national identity and blame immigrants for causing problems such as unemployment and crime. They often promise to limit or completely stop immigration.
• Manipulation by the media: Many people believe that established politics and the media are manipulating them and spreading incomplete or false information. Right-wing populists often claim to tell the truth and educate people about the "real" problems.

It is important to note that these reasons can be very different and not all people who support right-wing populists have to have all of these reasons. It is also important to emphasize that many right-wing populists make false claims and their solutions would not work in reality. Therefore, it is important to participate in political debates and check the facts to make informed decisions.

User: Do right-wing populists solve problems when they get into power? Are they different from other politicians in that?

Guanaco: Right-wing populists often promise to solve problems when they come to power, but it is important to note that many of their solutions would not work in reality. Many of the problems they highlight have deeper causes that cannot be solved easily. For example, some right-wing populists promise to improve the economy by stopping immigration and implementing protectionist measures. In practice, this would likely not work as many businesses rely on international trade and many immigrants make important contributions to the economy. Similarly, some right-wing populists promise to reduce crime by imposing stricter punishments and increasing spending on police. In practice, this would likely not be very effective as many criminals are driven by social factors and stricter punishments will not deter them from committing crimes. It is important to note that other politicians can also make promises that will not work. However, there is a difference between right-wing populists and other politicians: right-wing populists often make false claims and spread misinformation to support their solutions. In conclusion, it is important to participate in political debates and check facts to make informed decisions. There are no simple solutions to many problems, but by fact-checking solutions and finding compromises, we can try to find the best way forward.

User: How often do right-wing populists keep their promises in comparison to other politicians?

Guanaco: There is no one-size-fits-all answer to this question, as the fulfillment of promises in politics depends on many factors. In some cases, right-wing populists may be just as likely to keep their promises as other politicians, while in other cases they may be less likely to do so.

It is important to note that the fulfillment of promises also depends on the power position of the politician and the circumstances in which they work. In some cases, right-wing populists may not be able to keep their promises because they do not receive support from other parties or because they are in the minority.

Overall, it is useful to verify the fulfillment of promises in politics based on facts and data rather than making generalized statements about a particular group of politicians. It can be helpful to check the track record of a politician when it comes to keeping their promises or comparing the positions of other politicians in similar situations.
