Well there is revisionism going on, but I don't think it's from me.
Believe it or not, people wrote things down in the early part of the 19th century so we actually know what the Luddites thought and why they did what they did.
Again, I think someone here was being wilfully ignorant, but I'm pretty sure it's the person who decided the truth about the Luddites was historical revisionism.
I never said I was "General Ludd." I thanked you for the compliment. You then said it was historical revisionism, the article I pasted. Then I pointed out that their own words said otherwise. Then you called me wilfully ignorant, at which point I pointed out refusing to believe their words would be the wilfully ignorant stance.
Incidentally, there's no actual evidence Ned Ludd existed. He was a symbol. So yes, I'm fully aware I'm a real person that exists, thank you.
Also, I'm not even sure what you think my ideas are. Are you under the bizarre impression that I'm one of the two people in the image I posted? Or are you talking about what I said about You Tube?
Still waiting to hear what you think my ideas are.
Huh. I thought it was bad because it was a massive ecological disaster. But then I'm not capable of thought.

Also, if I'm not capable of thought, I'm definitely not capable of understanding your request to shut the fuck up, sorry.
Yeah we need more renewables. That's not a criticism of the technology. Try again. Or better yet, don't.
Once again, it feels like I'm not the one who is being wilfully ignorant here since there is no possible way you read that entire article in the time it took you to respond to me.
Please explain how renewables will solve the water problem.
Better off leaving this guy to be a hateful idiot mate. He hasn't said one thing of substance in the entire argument with you. He hasnt answered any of your questions in his entire tirade of insults, he is being consistently ignorant and hypocritical.
Is it really worth your time.
Everyone here can see who is in the right. The up and downvotes paint that picture just fine.
Pointing out the inefficiency of a system is definitely a criticism of the technology, and a valid one at that.
Wow, you really got your head up your ass don't you?
You compare to maga, and yet here we are with all the swearing and mud flinging 🙄
That wasn't a compliment?
Oh man. Sick burn bro. 🫶. Fr.
Take a victory lap with this one; for today, you are the tru tru internet boss.
