Let's reclaim Luddite as a badge of pride, they were a labour movement slandered so effectively their name is a byword for ignorance.
The Luddites loved technology. They owned looms at home and would ‘mod’ them to count threads.
Their battle was against worker exploitation. The degradation of their rights, safety and wages.
They were against a handful of rich businessmen owning the means of production.
Sound familiar?

The endless cycles of iteration not to find better but because the people in charge don't know what they want is crippling, expensive, and always leads to studio death
Many factors at play here - not the least of which is higher-ups (in their infinite wisdom) not being able to commit to anything, or knowing good from bad
All the while the economy at large expects the profit line go infinitely up, absolutely ignoring its undeniable tendency to do the opposite

Insurrectionists pardoned and offered money, but a man moving comics is given 30 years. What a fallen project America is. (Read also, the UK continuing to proscribe Palestine Action)
A cartoonist named Daniel "Des" Rolando Sanchez Estrada was tried as a terrorist and sentenced to 30 years in prison for having anti-Trump comics in his car.
Prosecutors connected him to a 2025 anti-ICE protest he didn't even attend because he was in the same book club as others who were.

The one party with a Jewish leader is somehow taking the flack for an attack by a deeply mentally unwell man while Nige gets to coast on a £5 million bribe. The British press is transparent.
A retweet by Zack Polanski is now the main story across every single media outlet.
Two days ago, it was revealed that Nigel Farage failed to disclose a £5 million gift from a crypto-billionaire.
It gets nowhere near the media attention, for straightforward political reasons.

Clarence Thomas is a coon deep in his soul, who just sold out Black America so he can keep getting gifts from Bohemian Grove alumni. Stephen from Django levels of coonery.
