Harper Lee was white as fuck, she’s a descendant of General Lee (the civil war? Do they cover that in israel?)

Even if we had somehow managed to avoid “cancel culture” and “hate speech laws”, I still see infinite doomscrolling, algorithmic domination and other aspects of the ubiquity of tech causing negative outcomes, especially with the kids who’ve grown up knowing nothing else. I don’t want to live in the pod, even if I’m “allowed” to mumble nigger online while eating the bugs. Do you see anything like that?

For anyone curious, it’s a great read and not to long:

Expand on the idea of Neo-Ludditism, where the negative effects of mass use of technology are somehow restricted or eliminated while the positive uses can still take place

Neo-Ludditism doesn’t have to mean smash the machines. A modern version can be imagined less as rejection of technology and more as intentional constraint—shaping when, where, and how technology is allowed to operate so that it serves human goals instead of quietly rewriting them.

Here’s an expanded, structured way to think about it.

Core Principle: Human Sovereignty Over Technology

Neo-Ludditism starts from the claim that technological adoption is a political, moral, and cultural choice, not an inevitability. Progress is not measured by speed or scale, but by whether human well-being, autonomy, and meaning are preserved or increased.

The key shift:

“Can we build this?” → “Should this exist everywhere, all the time, for everyone?”

1. Technological Zoning (Contextual Use)

Instead of universal deployment, technology is restricted by domain.

Examples:

• Education:

  • No algorithmic personalization before a certain age (to avoid attention conditioning).
  • Handwriting, memorization, and face-to-face discussion prioritized early; AI tools introduced later as augmentation, not replacement.

• Public spaces:

  • Screen-free trains, cafés, parks, or entire city zones.
  • No facial recognition or behavioral tracking in physical public areas.

• Workplaces:

  • AI allowed for repetitive or dangerous tasks, but restricted from performance surveillance or behavioral nudging.

This mirrors how we already treat pollution, noise, and zoning laws: some tools are fine here, harmful there.

2. Friction as a Feature, Not a Bug

Many harms of technology arise because it removes all friction: instant access, infinite scroll, one-click decisions.

Neo-Ludditism reintroduces deliberate friction.

Design constraints:

• Hard stops instead of infinite feeds.
• Delays before sharing or purchasing (cool-off periods).
• Transparent “cost displays” for time, attention, or data usage.
• Opt-in defaults instead of opt-out.

The idea is not to infantilize users, but to give the reflective brain time to engage.

3. Scale Limits and Anti-Monopoly Tech

A major Neo-Luddite insight is that many technologies are benign at small scale but destructive at mass scale.

Policies could include:

• Breaking platforms once they exceed certain attention, market, or data thresholds.
• Localized or federated networks instead of global monocultures.
• Bans on “winner-take-all” algorithms that optimize solely for engagement or profit.

Think of this as ecological thinking applied to software: diversity > efficiency.

4. Right to Analog Life

Neo-Ludditism insists that analog existence must remain viable, not merely nostalgic.

This includes:

• Legal rights to:

  • Pay with cash
  • Access services without apps
  • Opt out of biometric identification

• Protected offline professions and crafts.

• Public funding for low-tech institutions (libraries, community workshops, physical archives).

The goal isn’t romanticism—it’s resilience. Analog systems don’t crash, don’t surveil, and don’t centralize power.

5. Tool Transparency and Comprehensibility

A Neo-Luddite society favors tools that can be understood by their users.

This means:

• Preference for open-source or auditable systems.
• Mandatory explanations for algorithmic decisions that affect rights or livelihoods.
• Cultural suspicion of “black box authority” (especially in governance, medicine, and justice).

If no one can explain how a system works, it does not get to rule people.

6. Slow Tech and Moral Review Cycles

Technological deployment could require time-based ethical review, similar to clinical trials.

For example:

• New tech must pass:

  1. Small-scale trials
  2. Long-term impact studies
  3. Democratic review

• Automatic sunset clauses: tools expire unless actively renewed.

This counters the current “deploy first, apologize later” norm.

7. Cultural Revaluation of Productivity

Neo-Ludditism challenges the assumption that maximum productivity is always good.

Instead, it values:

• Craft over output
• Mastery over speed
• Meaningful inefficiency (e.g., cooking, writing, teaching by hand)

Technology is welcomed when it:

• Reduces suffering
• Expands knowledge
• Preserves dignity

And resisted when it:

• Erodes attention
• Centralizes power
• Replaces judgment with metrics

8. What Neo-Ludditism Is Not

• Not anti-science
• Not anti-medicine
• Not anti-communication
• Not nostalgic primitivism

It’s closer to tech conservatism in the original sense: conserving what makes human life rich, fragile, and worth living.

A One-Sentence Summary

Neo-Ludditism argues that the future should be high-tech in capability, low-tech in dominance, and always subordinate to human values rather than market momentum.

If you want, I can:

• Compare this to classic Luddism or techno-optimism
• Explore how AI specifically fits into a Neo-Luddite framework
• Sketch what a Neo-Luddite city, school, or economy would look like

Just say the word.

Hes got an account here and has posted a bit over on c/conspiracies :

Take care!

You too big guy

But if their new alts are already posting here, why allow their old alts to vote/comment on anything here?

Surprisingly I agree with Cato - most bans were done for good reasons.

(Speaking generally) We dont need to become a clone of ConPro, and that’s coming from someone who has gotten temp bans here and frequently posted about the twinned scourges of israeli and (generic) jewish influence on the west

No mercy for alt/sockpuppet abusers. The people in your list are clearly alts, except for IGOexiled (and maybe kyle and realwild , I don’t really remember their posts here)

Ever heard of the “second coming”? Even Christians agree Christ didn’t “fulfill” all the “prophecies” - Christians will say “yet”, jews will just leave it at that

Here’s the jewgle ai with a bit more:

From a Jewish perspective, Jesus didn't fulfill key messianic prophecies like gathering all Jews to Israel, rebuilding the Temple in Jerusalem, and ushering in an era of universal world peace and knowledge of God, leading to his rejection as the Messiah; Christians believe these will be fulfilled during his Second Coming, reinterpreting some prophecies as spiritual or fulfilled in a different way.

Key Prophecies Jewish Tradition Says Were Not Fulfilled by Jesus:

Gathering Exiles: The Messiah would bring all exiled Jews back to the Land of Israel (Isaiah 11:12).

World Peace: The Messiah would end all war, hatred, and suffering, bringing universal peace (Isaiah 2:4).

Temple Rebuilding: The Temple in Jerusalem would be rebuilt (Micah 4:1).

Universal Knowledge of God: All humanity would come to know the God of Israel (Zechariah 14:9).

Lineage: A direct, unchallenged, paternal lineage from King David (Genesis 49:10).

Deliverance: The Messiah would redeem Israel from physical oppression, not just spiritual sin (as Christians believe).

Christian Interpretations & Responses:

Two Comings: Christians believe Jesus fulfilled prophecies during his first coming (like being a descendant of David) and that the national/physical prophecies (peace, Temple) will be fulfilled when He returns.

Spiritual Fulfillment: Some see the body of believers as the new temple and spiritual peace as the primary goal, reinterpreting "Temple" and "peace".

I wish every game they sold had workshop integration. An annoying amount still make you go off-platform to hunt for the mods then spend a ton of time dicking around trying to get em working

Definitely, these things are real computers in every way

MiniPCs are becoming impressive gaming machines for just a couple hundred bucks, while still being fully functional computers/media centers/etc - when valve came out with Steam Machines a while back, it seems they were just slightly ahead of the curve on these things, so it’s good to see they’re coming back to the idea now that you’re able to get so much more for your money compared to just a few years ago with these System On Chip setups

Combined with SteamOS, if they pull this off they could easily seal their control over PC gaming for the next 10 years

Any other hot ideas, fed?

This is why we can’t have nice things

That a bunch of our problems are self inflicted

That makes a ton of sense, and also explains the “cope” nature of all the responses in the image

Like most good memes the degree of vagueness lets everyone read their own thoughts into the message.

It’s an interesting question though. What does this switch represent?

Try getting it to admit that Irish slaves were brought to America against their will before blacks
