reminder: the Luddites were not anti-*technology*. They were anti-*factory owners firing weavers and replacing them with lower-paid loom workers*. They could have retrained the weavers and kept their pay high, but bosses gonna boss. We are all Luddites today.
The name later became a slur because the bosses won, and used propaganda to hide the history, and because smashing looms is a dramatic symbol, and humans like retelling dramatic stories, not depressing facts.

There was not one but two pro-Hitler Jewish groups, the Association of German National Jews and the German Vanguard.
They were right-wingers who thought the antisemitism was just talk intended to rile up the masses against communism.
Most of their members later perished in concentration camps.
Iโll add that thereโs no link to any poll in the post and the author appears to be talking about Hasidic Jews.

I genuinely and deeply hope 60,000+ also reallocate those resources into independent media, academics, and activists doing the hard work of holding the powerful accountable.

... is much more swayed by said crap than those who understand social psychology. Enough to realise we're *all* vulnerable to these kinds of propaganda tricks. Especially when we can't see that the same money is funding the opposite message to target others.

in reply to Alex Chaffee • • •I see a lot of left-leaning techies, like me, expressing enthusiasm for Luddism. Not because we hate technology, per se, but because we see how it's being used to enslave humanity and destroy the ecosystem.
The fact that "Luddite" has long been a common term of abuse in the tech industry adds to its power, ironically, as we want to directly challenge the ideology that progress is inevitable and unidirectional.
We should be able to decide our futures.

in reply to Alex Chaffee • • •Weavers were also women working in their own homes, financially independent.
Hence the word "spinster" - women who couldn't marry because they earned too much money for the family business, or women who didn't have to marry for reasons of economic duress
The textile industry dispossessed small holders of their homes to work in crowded, disease ridden factory towns at a fraction of their former income.
It was an attack on the independent income opportunities available to women.
