Part of the hacker ethos is being counter to mainstream and challenging authority. Luddites fit in with that perfectly.

- CamperBob2 2y agoTaking out your frustrations on the hardware isn't part of any hacker ethos I'm familiar with. I guess times have changed.
- willio58 2y agoIf you think the luddites were attacking the hardware because they were afraid of technology you’re mistaken. Please read the article I linked, it explains how the luddites’ motives are completely misunderstood by most people. This misunderstanding is furthered by people using the term Luddite as a pejorative. But this is somewhat like using the term “Black Panther” as a pejorative.
