Being a Luddite has always been part of the left...high tech displaces the workers...high tech mental labor pays for more the low tech manual labor...
So now Luddite thinking, natural ingrained in the leftist world view is finally turning on their leftie techie fellow travelers who failed to see they are the new bourgeoisie?
The silly fools didn’t think that Rage Against the Machine meant Rage Against the Machine?...ie computers and those that create and run them
I would feel sorry for the techies if they were conservatives and voted GOP. They do not. Instead they voted for Obama twice, believe in global warming and anti fossil fuel. IAW they believe in high tech at the expense of all other industries except retail and service. They vote against new pipelines, new refineries, power plants, etc etc etc. Thus in their worship of high tech they support policies that kill off blue collar jobs. That is why as a Pat Buchanan and Ross Perot conservative I say let the techie left and poor left kill each other. They both deserve each other.
