@lizzy @coolbean That is more your warped perception of luddism. Luddism is a very specific petite-bourgeois movement to protect artisanal labour against centralisation and effectivisation of capital. Luddites weren't against technology they were against the factories threatening their artisanal craft. It's a reactionary line of thinking.

@lizzy @coolbean Luddism isn't based.

@coolbean Yeahhhh my parents are gen X and they're cooked too. The only person in my family that isn't absorbed by screens is my grandma who I guess technically falls under silent generation

@coolbean The rare time I try to talk to my parents, especially mother. She just looks at her phone and I have to keep repeating her name until she finally gives me at most 15 seconds of attention.

It's absurd that when we were younger our parents complained that we used our phones too much but now it feels like Gen Z and younger millenials are the only people with a (relatively) healthy relationship to computers. (far from saying everyone has)

@coolbean oh god yeah that's awful. Sorry what I said was in bad taste.

@coolbean But the boomers are the reason the internet exists ​​
