Ned Ludd of Nottingham is seeing a revival as an anti-capital folk hero and suddenly we start seeing anti-robinhood propaganda curious-marx

AI happened and the opposition all got called Luddites, instead of the usual responses of "no, I'm just cautious of untested technology and fearful for my means of making a living", at least some started bringing up that the original Luddites weren't just reactionary technophobes, they were disgruntled laborers losing skilled work to machines that significantly less people could operate with significantly less skill and training, and saying yes, they are Luddites, and I'm impressed. Much better historical literacy than you expect from Western liberals.
