Me: "Alexa, what is a terrorist?"

Alexa: "... a person who terrorizes or frightens others."

Me: "Alexa, define the word 'terrorize'"

Alexa "... to dominate or coerce by intimidation."

Me: "Alexa, define the word 'fascism'"

Alexa: "A political regime, having totalitarian aspirations, ideologically based on a relationship between business and the centralized government, business-and-government control of the marketplace, repression of criticism or opposition, a leader cult and exalting the state and/or religion above individual rights"

Me: "Alexa, what is conservative liberalism?"

Alexa "...conservative liberalism promotes ordered liberty under God and establishes constitutional safeguards against tyranny. It shows that a regime of liberty based on traditional morality and classical-Christian culture is an achievement we can be proud of, rather than merely defensive about, as trustees of Western civilization"

Me: "Alexa, what is tyranny?"

Alexa: "oppressive or unjustly severe government on the part of any ruler."

Me: "Thank you for the explanations Alexa, I think I'm done here."

Siri doesn't have the same answer, can anybody confirm this is Alexa's output?

For sure, quoting from another page is easy. I was curious about the functionality of the robot... whether the parent comment was representing reality, or making some other form of commentary.

I should have been more specific so I didn't wind up with so many blowhards downvoting me
