Not misunderstood; luddites (lowercase l, or at least the generalized form) means something different than Luddites (capitalized L).

Not misunderstood; luddites (lowercase l, or at least the generalized form) means something different than Luddites (capitalized L).
- jimktrains2 7y agoI'm fairly certain the lowercase l version is the same, but the Luddites are remembered as being ant technology, not pro labour.
- diminoten 7y agoA luddite, generally, is one who is anti-technology. A Luddite, specifically, is a member of a 19th century movement to prevent automation from taking their job. It's insanely pedantic to try and point out the difference, given the ease with which one can find the generic definition.
