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:

Since this is a baby SkyNet meant to detect libs/leftists, the libs/leftists are labeled "Sus" and the Republicans/conservatives/RWers are labeled "Normal"
In theory, the more data the machine is given the better it will be able to make inferences. So for instance, Milo Yiannopoulos wearing pearls being labeled a conservative would be an outlier that would throw the machine off, but such outliers become less important with more data
I hope this makes sense, but the more data the machine is fed the better it will be at noticing patterns and situating outliers. Right now it is just a cute baby trying to understand the world. Here are some examples that I've already performed:
Test: Obama being spotted in New York being greeted by his fans
Test: a tea party event from like a decade ago
Test: a country music fest:
Test: an anti-gun event

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.

For a brief biographical background sketch see my other Dabney thread:

For perspective, the LCMS is like 5x larger than the PCA. It is very difficult to have so many people in a body in the negative world, especially for cradle Lutherans, who struggle with being labeled haters. Also, your soft antinomian podcasters didn't prep you for this hour.
To make a more general remark, because the soft antinomian podcaster phenomenon wasn't confined to Lutherans: it sucks that at the very hour that real leaders with foresight should have been preparing people for what's upon us now, we were plagued with a swarm of antinomians
Instead of preparing people for being potentially drummed out of polite society or having to be more cautious about casually mentioning your faith, we had dudes and chicks yelling at everyone for not talking about justification by faith alone 24/7
