I am not the first person to point out that a “Luddite” isn’t someone who hates tech — they hated the EXPLOITATION OF PEOPLE by capital through the use of tech. Too many of my peers are on the wrong side of that and a lot of us are watching and making notes and will remember.

@grmpyprogrammer

i am a proud luddite, just like i'm proud to be "woke" and antifa.

i can't imagine any sane, empathic, moral, and attentive person not getting to these views.

@paul_ipv6 @grmpyprogrammer Hm... Sounds all bogus to me.

Why revive old terms and say they have another meaning instead of saying what you really want?
Simple language is the key.

@fuchsi @paul_ipv6 People attempt to change the meaning of words all the time for political gain. Ask a right-winger what “woke” or “antifa” means.

@grmpyprogrammer @paul_ipv6 another reason to use simple language.

It gets increasingly more difficult to explain a bad world view in simple terms.

Our conservative party has "translated" their programme into simple German and it's horrible. For them.
