UK ministers knew they were applying a double standard in helping NIMBYs to block wind farms but suppressing them for fracking.

Trump's campaign focused on bullying and bigotry as much as on economic losses for working class Americans.

Even workers at factories in China are afraid of being employed by Chinese subcontractors.

The author asks us not to call him a Luddite — but this is precisely what Luddism means. Luddites believe we can reject technological "advances" when they are harmful. We reject the assumption that these harmful "advances" are inevitable and that resistance is useless (technological defeatism).

The use of "Luddite" as an insult is an indirect way of presuming technological defeatism. If we pander to that, it will will undermine our opposition to harmful technologies. We must be proud to oppose harmful "advances" in technology, proud to call ourselves Luddites.

Fellow Luddites, stand tall with me!
