Here's to bringing back the term Luddite with pride and solidarity! From the must read book The AI Con by @emilymbender.bsky.social & @alexhanna.bsky.social

$From The AI Con: Although in modern parlance the term "Luddite" is associated with anyone who rejects and refuses to learn (and therefore is unfamiliar with) new technology, its origins are more complicated. Recent histories of the Luddites argue that they were not opposed to the ways that factory owners used technology per se, but that they were opposed to the ways that factory owners used technology to displace skilled artisans with workers paid a fraction of their wage, food the market with inferior products, and impose unreasonable and punishing working conditions on those working the machines.$

Does this look declining cases?? This is the wastewaterscan data as of today, 9/13.

Graph of the last 6 months of Sars cov 2 wastewater samples, showing a steady climb since July and a large jump in the last 2 sampling days. Some subtle ups and downs in August, but no defined peak or decline.

It's a fundamental cognitive dissonance. They support something that has been conjured and don't have the self awareness or critical thinking to realize the truth. They did in fact vote for this but they didn't understand what it meant.

Text from Jamelle saying
What people seem to believe is that there is a large number of criminal, layabout immigrants who can be easily found and deported. They support doing so and are dismayed by the deportation of otherwise Law Abiding people. The problem is that the criminal group is imaginary!

The full context of what she said includes her saying “I can’t really give a thoughtful response right now...I just found this out and I’m trying to console my children.”

Picture of the entire quote Paulette Thompson provided which includes saying she can't give a thoughtful response and she is trying to console her children.
