"Edward P. Thompson’s book The Making of the English Working Class also helped to foster a new understanding of Luddism amongst the general public. According to Thompson, the Luddites were not, in essence, opponents of new technology, but rather opponents of the new economic conditions (such as the abolition of fixed prices) that were to be imposed as a result of its introduction.
The machines were not attacked indiscriminately as the supposed causes of this change. The destruction of the machines was therefore an organised and targeted form of action directed against specific owners, who were to be pressured into complying with the old regulations, whilst machines belonging to other owners were often spared. Thompson also interprets the high efficiency, purposefulness and organisation of the Luddite actions – involving up to 100 participants – as a sign of the Luddites’ widespread acceptance within their communities."
They wanted to keep the prices fix for Textiles. So are they against the 70 or so % of People who can not afford many Clothes? Are the Luddites then part of the 10%, the opressors?! (Atleast i often hear it on reddit and Fediverse: if youre rich youre always an Opressor)
Luddites=Lunatics in my opinion. I am 20% for them, 80% against what they did.
I hate criminals irrespective of color, nationality and language. Dont call me far right because im not. I also like free speech and there is none in far right/fascist coubtries!
In europa we want a more federal eu with weaker nation borders. But our borders to africa , russia and asia must be strong. Idk where the problem is.
Also yes, there are many hinderings in crossborder law enforement in europa. I read it sometimes in the news that some criminal could not be tried and/or tracked down.
A murder commited by a migrant in europa only happens because he wasnt adapted to society, so we can assume he wasnt adapted right even in his country aswell. That is why they dont want him there anymore, we hear in News we cant fly some people back because in their home countries they would be tortured or imprisoned.

Rich people lie, steal and cheat less than poor people.
