This is not ideological flamebait, this is historical truth.
18th-19th century trade unions, of which this union is a modern descendent, can be directly linked to Luddism and other forms of anti-progress mentality. Examples also abound throughout the 20th century and today.

- hopfscotch 6y agoThey don’t care about historical truth around here. If you post anything more more political than a python tutorial you’re apt to get a talking to.
- dang 6y agoSomething can be both true and ideological flamebait. For example, if you embed a shallow and obvious truth in a snarky comment on an inflammatory topic, you've posted flamebait. What you're saying in your reply about unions being Luddite is obviously not a simple "historical truth". That's highly debatable, and it sounds like you're bringing it up as part of a generic argument about unions which is not particularly on topic here. https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=true&query=by%3Adang%20generic%20discussion&sort=byDate&type=comment https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=true&que...
