    They’re completely right. Luddites being anti technology is a major mischaracterization, they just didn’t want their jobs taken away when that’s how they make a living. And automation hasn’t resulted in better wages or hours for workers, only increased profit for shareholders

    Well, the Luddites were unironically entirely correct… the OP just doesn’t know who they were or what they wanted.
