I absolutely take Luddite as a compliment, the historical Luddites were cool as hell. And with the benefit of hindsight, we now know their predictions were basically correct about increasing automation leading to lower quality products and more alienated lifestyles.
Also, I know enough about finance to know that if these computers cost more money to keep on than they bring in (which they do) they won't be around long-term.
This story keeps getting parroted and it's completely untrue. Luddites gained no extra rights due to their actions they gained rights decades later through actual policy activism.
But they want it to be cool to be metaphorical ostriches with their proverbial heads stuck in the figurative ground!
