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 am scared of the future, you know why? Because everything feels so unbearably bleak and I wish I had something to feel actually hopeful for.

But I guess we'll own nothing and be forced to live with it.
