Chapter 2 is a doozy! I love any narrative that reminds us to reflect on labor history and the rights of workers and this chapter is IT. The Luddite uprisings are in full swing and the pitiless capitalist known as Robert Moore is bringing in new machinery, which the workers cannot abide. Despite how the term is used today, the Luddites were not explicitly anti-tech; they were pro-worker, which included highly skilled craftspeople, i.e. artists.

IriDas Now I‘m gonna have to research the term. It sounds like it was co-opted by the ruling class so that when people hear the term they automatically turn away thereby “volunteering” to be kept from the truth. 10h
