I've been building a Baby SkyNet. This will be the thread where I'll show its progress:
Here's the theory behind the work: there may be some correlation between how someone looks and their political opinions. This should be self evident since most people make these inferences all the time. The question is whether a machine can learn to do this.
Methodology: train a machine on group photos and events where the political ideology of the people presented is pretty evident so it isn't my opinions of how someone looks impacting the machine. Here are some examples:

𝐀𝐧𝐭𝐢-𝐂𝐫𝐞𝐭𝐢𝐬𝐦 is the idea that Cretes are uniquely predisposed to being liars. As defined elsewhere, ethnic sin is either malicious, vainglorious, or separatist, but the anti-Cretism forms of it usually tend toward the malicious. Image

After being on the losing side of a revolution, the conservative ceases to be a conservative in the proper sense of the word. Instead, he either becomes a counter revolutionary or a collaborator.
The Collaborator does not need to buy entirely into the Revolution. In fact, he rarely does. What the Collaborator does, however, is internalize his defeat and begins accepting the frame of the Revolution while questioning specific aspects of its excesses for a time.
While they are quick to point to their record of asking the Revolutionaries to drive the speed limit, the Conservative who becomes a Collaborator's main function after the Revolution is to police the Conservatives who become Counter Revolutionaries.

The Reformers did not take a "just preach the gospel" approach. They went straight to their national elite and tried to win them over to the Reformation, and what they offered the national elite was something the elite found beneficial vis-à-vis Rome.
Today's church leaders are not in the same position. They have nothing to offer the current crop of national and international elite other than offering to smoothly manage Christianity's decline and ensuring that their people don't resist.

This is where we are.
Now an elite theory approach to this would be to pick out rogue elite and try to win them to our side. We can see some aspects of this in the Christian support of Trump and Musk.
