Modernity always wins & its enemies are merely whining at their own inability to ride the wave. I can sympathize with Luddites, but I can't uphold them as paragons of sensibility or pragmatism. They're quite literally tilting at the Windmill.

the Ming crackdown was an example of Luddites winning locally, which can happen, but guarantees a much bigger loss in the future when modernity catches up to you
