    It’s entirely possible the mod doesn’t know what luddites are…

    But you definitely don’t OP.

    They didn’t “hate tech” they protested by destroying looks because that was the way to make the wealthy listen.

    Their goal wasn’t to stop looms, and they didn’t lose.

    Their goal was to make sure the profits of automation trickled down to workers via higher pay for less total hours.

    You seem to have fallen for propaganda…

    And not just a little bit, your entire account is based off you have a fundamental misunderstanding of something that appears important to you.

      Gee, I had no idea socialism was so popular in England before Marx. And somehow they only started caring about fair distribution of profits when their jobs were being taken by machines. Whatever helps you sleep at night.
