    I guess we should ban peanut butter and bee cultivation too while we’re at it.

    I don’t think anyone should take luddites seriously tbh

      We just had a discussion on here about how Florida was banning lab-grown meat.

      I mean, the Luddites were a significant political force at one point.

      I may not agree with their position, but “I want to ban technology X that I feel competes for my job” has had an impact over the years.
