The Luddites, a movement of 19th-century textile workers who resisted the automation of their trade, didn’t hate all technology, or progress, as is commonly misunderstood — they opposed technology that was hurtful to society at large.

Although the dictionary also mentions that Luddites were a real 19th Century movement, this is not the main way in which people use the term.

Observers, reporters, and even the Hollywood workers themselves began to refer to the strikers as Luddites.

I'm not one of these Luddites that's like, "Oh, all new technology is bad," or "Save people's jobs just for the sake of saving jobs."

The Luddites did not hate technology—but they did fight the way it was used to exploit humans.
