    Luddites weren’t conservatives and they weren’t anti technology, they were anti-technology being used to destroy the livelihood of workers rather than being used to improve their lives.

    Imagine that AI / robots suddenly made your entire career field obsolete overnight and suddenly you couldn’t find a job anywhere. You would be pretty upset, ya? Now imagine being called anti-technology just because you argued that technology should be used to help the workers that are displaced rather than leaving them destitute.
