And people who have an issue with this are called luddites
Absolute clown show
Replying to @halezinflames@lemmus.org
We’ve been told historical lies. People who have an issue with this are like Luddites, but that’s because the Luddites were justified too!
They weren’t against technology; they were against it being used to abuse and exploit them as workers.
I’ve only heard that term being used to insult, that’s actually a real thing?
I’ve never heard it used as an insult. How is it even supposed to be offensive? “Har har you’re a person who doesn’t like tech”?
Less of “you’re a person who doesn’t like tech” and more “you’re not with the times/are scared of the future”… which is pretty close to some messaging from clankers.
I see, thank you!
