  I guess we should ban peanut butter and bee cultivation too while we’re at it.

  I don’t think anyone should take luddites seriously tbh

    You clearly have no idea what the luddites actually stood for.

      You’ll notice I used the lower case L which implies I’m referring to a term, likely as it’s commonly used today, because that’s how speech works.

      Further, explain to me how this is different from what the luddites stood for, since you obviously know so much more and I’m so off base with this comment.

        So, I didn’t downvote you because that’s not how I operate.

        The Luddites were not protesting against technology in and of itself, they were protesting against the capture of their livelihoods by proto-capitalists who purposefully produced inferior quality goods at massive volume to drive down the price and put the skilled workers out of business.

        They were protesting market capture, and the destruction of their livelihood by the rich.

        This sort of monopolistic practice is these days considered to be a classic example of monopolistic market failure.

        There is a massive overlap between the philosophy of the Luddites, and the cooperative movement.

    We just had a discussion on here about how Florida was banning lab-grown meat.

      They had an impact because people allowed themselves to take their fear mongering seriously.

      It’s regressionist and it stunts progress needlessly. That’s not to say we shouldn’t pump the brakes, but I am saying logic like “it could hurt people” as rationale to never use it, is just “won’t someone think of the children” BS.

      You don’t ban all the new swords, you learn how they’re made, how they strike, what kinds of wounds they create and address that problem. Sweeping under the rug/putting things back in their box, is not an option.

    Peanut butter?

      People have severe allergic reactions to peanut butter which means it “could be used against people” as a weapon

  I’d be happy to use their art without their permission. They dont get to decide what is trained with their art.
