Lol, that's a stupid name.

My username is just my previous username but truncated because I could.

Ah. The Luddites may have had a stupid name but they were proto socialists who were so actively slandered most people don’t know they were a social movement that was actually fine with technology if skilled labor didn’t have to suffer for its implementation.

You were referring to the luddites?

I thought you were referring to "King Lud" of Britain from pre-roman times that might or might not have existed and allegedly founded London.

Well yeah, I’m talking about social good vs advancing the means of production in the interests of the capital holding class
