    I’m extremely okay with being labeled a luddite. I occasionally refer to myself as such.

      I thought it was some kind of slur for the longest time I won’t lie. If it’s to begin being one I’ll happy get slurred out

      I was very against the word, and hated if someone would call me that, until I’ve learned what they actually were and why did they do their acts.

        I have a picture of luddites smashing looms on my bench at work. It’s one of the first things a tour would see as they walk through.

        The guy who’s name is on the front of my building often leads those tours.
