Somehow they still managed to repeat a common historical misconception in first paragraph: https://www.smithsonianmag.com/history/what-the-luddites-really-fought-against-264412/ https://www.smithsonianmag.com/history/what-the-luddites-rea... I suspect it's less about the deep research and more about the tribe.

  “It is true that there are some “technophobes” who—like the Luddites of the Industrial Revolution—explicitly dislike and fear robots (Dekker et al., 2017; McClure, 2018)“ Is that what you are referring to? They don’t appear to be citing Conniff anywhere at all. Dekker, F., Salomons, A., & van der Waal, J. (2017). Fear of robots at work: The role of economic self-interest. Socio-economic Review, 15, 539–562. https://doi.org/10.1093/ser/mwx005 https://doi.org/10.1093/ser/mwx005 McClure, P. K. (2018). “You’re fired,” says the robot: The rise of automation in the workplace, technophobes, and fears of unemployment. Social Science Computer Review, 36(2), 139–156. https://doi.org/10.1177/0894 https://doi.org/10.1177/0894 439317698637 edit: Quoting Conniff: ”They [the Luddites] confined their attacks to manufacturers who used machines in what they called “a fraudulent and deceitful manner” to get around standard labor practices. “They just wanted machines that made high-quality goods,” says Binfield, “and they wanted these machines to be run by workers who had gone through an apprenticeship and got paid decent wages. Those were their only concerns.”” Granted, I haven’t dug into Conniff’s source material, but I do see parallels to the OP article’s argument of there being insecurities about jobs, vis-a-vis the Luddites requiring membership in an apprenticeship guild and parallels to the article’s argument of insecurity leading to maladaptive behavior, vis-a-vis the Luddites characterizations of manufacturers as fraudulent and deceitful and the subsequent property damage.

    >“It is true that there are some “technophobes” who—like the Luddites of the Industrial Revolution—explicitly dislike and fear robots (Dekker et al., 2017; McClure, 2018)“ >Is that what you are referring to? It is. Luddites were no more disliked and feared technology than French anti-Uber taxi drivers hated and feared smartphones or indeed, strikers dislike and fear work itself. Destroying the machines was a tactic not a holy war. The taxi one is notable because Forbes said that they were modern day luddites. They were ironically quite correct about that even though the protestors did not, as they claimed, actually hate smartphones.
