Being a luddite is cool, but have you seen the tapestries new looms are making?

Caring about the impacts of technology on society and the disparate xosts incurred is still a thing.

The misnomsr that luddigds feared technology because of progress or nebulous mechanophobia is trite.

It’s also worth pointing out that as the luddites campaigned for unemployment compensation and retraining for those displaced by the new machinery… this probably made them amongst the most forward thinking and progressive people of the 1700’s !
