In a fair world, we would be celebrating our machine labor achievement and enjoy our free time. Instead we have capitalism and virtual luddites shouting to protect menial labor.

Humanity.. sigh

The luddites didn't hate machines because they loved manual labor...

They wanted to ensure that mechanization benefited the workers via less hours and increased wages rather than the same wages and less jobs to go around.

Destroying mechanization was just an accomplishable goal in that fight.

What you're doing is falling for propaganda from a long ass time ago by the owner class...
