counterpoint: *all* LLMs are revanchist by definition
A data point to mull as you wonder whether it's impossible to build "a conservative LLM": we definitely can train a language model on pre-1920 text that will defend the British Empire, condescend to childlike native people, recommend radium therapy and eugenics as SOTA medicine, &c.
