(8,317 posts)I can give some leeway if it is, since again, you seem to have misunderstood.
Your "narrative" is that I have contempt for peasants, which I do not.
I used "freaking" for emphasis. To highlight the point. To make it stand out.
Do I have contempt for luddites? yes, because they were people analogous to capitalist today. They were guild members trying to hold on to their privileges at the expense of others, and holding back progress.
As for the rest of your post
1) no argument
2) peasants were slaves.
3) From what I can tell, since most of it is in some form of postmodernist babbel, is that you seem to think there is some sort of conspiracy to keep people from technologies that don't really exist, or are so current that they are expensive and normal people can't afford them. (Which wouldn't be a conspiracy, just the market in action, since new tech ALWAYS costs an arm and a leg. I also get the feeling that you think it should be given away for free. What about the people who spend time and energy working on it? Don't they count? Or only certain people count? Or only your dogma counts?) The last part seems to be a desire for a total upheaval of current society, analogous to "the great leap forward" in China, which was a total failure.
The Great Leap Forward: Mao broke everyone up into little communes, thinking that it would be great to get back to their "roots." Output dropped, quality dropped, millions died.
So I'll have to disagree on that point.
