The luddites were right though, technology was being used to lessen their quality of life and make them dependent on a new set of structures that they weren’t familiar with and which were failing them on a massive scale…
People don’t oppose technology because they’re irredeemable backwards imbeciles who hate progress, they oppose it because they see it as having a negative impact on their lives.
In the specific example you invoked as a pejorative, people destroyed mills because they saw them as part of a system of control that was forcing them into cities where life was much worse. Years later that period in British history was called the enclosures and it’s been studied endlessly from a bunch of angles, almost all of which showed the Luddite assessment to be correct.
I know you just wanted to use the funny word to ridicule people who don’t like systemd, but it doesn’t mean what you think it means and makes you look dumber than if you had just ripped off a long string of slurs against sysv script users.
OK luddite.
Luddites were champions of the working class and have been smeared by capitalist for over a century. I’d be proud to be called a Luddite.
(In before history nerds um, actually me: chill…I know)
OK commie.
Aww sweetie. You’re cute.
I am. A lot of people fail to see that.

Cope harder.
It’s not cope to know history.
