Abstract
It's an 'insult' trotted out regularly against anyone who has the temerity a) to question change; b) to imagine that they themselves, and not some financial-industrial 'system' ought to be in control of their own lives; c) not to appreciate being exploited. When used to describe such critics, the term Luddite is used to mean an unthinking, blinkered young or old fogey who cannot cope with 'progress'. So were the Seattle protesters described, and others of that ilk.
