    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.
