I’ve learned that OG Luddites were not against new technology, they were against technology that disproportionately enriches the owner class. The common usage today was meant to discredit the Luddites as being against technological progress. I’ve been in tech most of my career, and I kind of want to take back the term.

Probably more jobs, and certainly less health compromising jobs, in solar and wind. I think Luddites would not support investing in coal, versus renewables.

Maybe “regressive” is a more fitting term for the MAGA death cult?
