- andrewflnr 4y agoIt's a little disingenuous to assume the new technology is actually exploitative or dangerous, when accusing one of said tech's defenders of disingenuity.
- tbrownaw 4y agoNo, that is not what that word means. But perhaps a blind "no u" might qualify as appropriately incinsere?
- sidlls 4y agoIt's not an assumption, it's an assertion. I don't necessarily agree with it, but it's not ludditism to oppose the use of technology (new or old) in a way one believes is exploitative or harmful.
