really confused about Luddism
ok so historically did they or did they not "oppose technology" or did they "oppose exploitation not technology"
in practice if someone throws every conceivable argument against a technology, trying to make something, anything, stop that technology in any form (guess which one I'm talking about), is that luddism, and more specifically, is that "real luddism" or is it pejorative luddism. or is it something else entirely.
