      I mean, 20 years ago the mid-tier recording industry was completely destroyed, it never came back, and they try to distract you from this fact by the fact that the Top 40 1% still exists and so do starving cover bands on YouTube https://twitter.com/RickWayneWrites/status/1245016736451178498 …

      What this reminds me of is 19th century discourse around small producers during the Industrial Revolution. As big industry got bigger, skilled artisans, small producers, and the like got screwed.

      And, of course, the old world never came back. There was no policy solution, no fix. Those people basically just got screwed.

      When people use "Luddite" pejoratively you have to point out that what the angry violent acolytes of Ned Ludd predicted would happen TO THEM AND THEIR FAMILIES from industrial automation was completely accurate Their analysis was sound

      People use "Luddite" to mean someone who's stupid or hysterical and just thinks technology is bad for no good reason It doesn't really mean that, it just means someone defending their economic interests against yours, which they have every right to do

      Of course they didn't think mechanical knitting machines were "bad" in some abstract universal way Of course they're good FOR YOU, they're cheaper and more abundant, that's the whole problem But you know what, why do your low low prices outweigh their having a job at all

      What should they do, go to college and learn to code Petition King George for UBI Maybe throwing a shoe into a machine doesn't do much in the long run but it accomplishes more than all those condescending suggestions

          "They said Ned Ludd was an idiot boy That all he could do was wreck and destroy, and He turned to his workmates and said: Death to Machines They tread on our future and they stamp on our dreams" You'd think now that tech is at war with EVERYONE'S job people would have sympathy
