I don't know why people consider organized state violence against forcibly unemployed people as some form of historical trivia.
It's not like they had unemployment benefits like we have today. Most social benefits are designed to keep people complacent and not rebel against the state. People who don't understand this will end up repeating history. Presenting the abandoned people as backwards thinking people who are against technological progress does a huge disservice to them and our present society. If you know the history then the modern word for "Luddite" is "technological unemployment" but people don't use it that way, they mean "dumb person", i.e. it is just an insult.
