    It’s not the actual tech, generally speaking, that people are upset about. Although your Luddite reference is probably more accurate than you intended.

    The Luddites weren’t anti-tech, they were anti- the damage it was doing to the people who did the work.

    Most people who hate these new technologies aren’t mad at the tech itself, they’re mad at the quality that’s produced when the only concern is lowering costs and the extractive infrastructure built around it. A monthly fucking subscription for heated seats. This exists now.

    The alternative to this is the galaxy brained take: “THESE PEOPLE HATE HAVING A COMFORTABLE ASS WHILE DRIVING”

      Your being way too generous…

      The people that are upset about this are just whining for fake internet points…
