Luddite shouldn't be used as a insult anymore. They were right about more than most of us are willing to admit.
@anon_opin the demonisation of the Luddites is egregious capitalist propaganda
@pikesley @fkamiah17 @anon_opin But it is one of those things that has stuck. A bit like lemmings and cliffs.

@Wen That's promising though, because you seldom hear people mention suicidal lemmings without someone else immediately informing them that it's a myth.

I think we're approaching something similar with Luddites. The knowledge that they were skilled workers doing coordinated industrial action isn't quite as widespread as the anti-technology-mob myth, but it's growing.
