The Luddites didn't even go full Luddite. They felt they had not exhausted political action, then were summarily executed and/or sent to slave colonies. They mailed letters, did public demonstrations, signed petitions, and for their efforts they were beset by bullshitters accusing them of "military-like drills," among other obvious fabrications. They wrecked machinery, then got blamed for death threats. They were blamed for the Pentrich uprising, which itself was caused by the unbearable exploitation of the working class, and not by the working class who justifiably marched on Nottingham. But nobody there was flying some imagined flag of Ned Ludd!

I wasn't there when it went down, but I call it like I see it. A city nearby to me had a lady last week who marched up to city council during a public hearing and held up a petition at them, which they'd been ignoring for months because 19,000 people wanted to revoke the city's permit that they granted to ICE to hole up in there. They freaking swarmed her with cops, and the news dutifully reported that in the wake of this vicious attack, city council members were going to have to start carrying firearms to defend themselves. She's been charged with criminal trespassing. In a public hearing, at city hall. People in power lie like that ALL the TIME. Not even a lot of power. Any "representative" of anyone anywhere in the USA is going to lie that protected, civil acts are dangerous violence that must be stopped with more violence. I can't imagine the UK is much better.

Until someone shows me the "death threats and possibly attacked" magistrates, I'm going to assume the magistrates were lying. Even when they were (supposedly) flying Ned's flag, I'm not holding a single one Luddite to any extremist lens, until I read some record other than that of the total slimeball Samuel Bamford, claiming the protestors opened fire unprovoked, because when the mill owners fired on them, that was just "to intimidate" and shouldn't have been seen as uh... shooting them.

I mean um... going "full Luddite" as you put it is probably a bad idea, since they start murdering people long before that point. So I agree. Just... don't expect them to play by any rule other than "kill people until they stop nattering at me."

Updated my profile description btw!
Nothing too fancy but I'm kinda proud of it since I'm quite bad at describing myself or better said my hobbies/interests.

Please let me know what you think about it!
Is something missing? Does something not look that good in the way it's currently written?

Any kind of answer is highly appreciated ^-^

I once found myself in a forest.

I was doing something very weird among the roots of an old oak.

I gave me a puzzled look and then me gave I a look that said: 'don't ask'.

I didn't really want to intrude any more than I already had so I left me to it and wandered off to find an old oak tree.

I had things to do among the roots.

As far as I know I'm still there.

A thick forest. Trees everywhere. Nothing else. Just trees. There may be a squirrel in there somewhere but it can't be seen. It's probably wearing camouflage. they do that sometimes.

A beetle idk qwq

Ein schwarzer Käfer sitzt in einem runden Marmeladenglas, das auf einem Blatt Millimeterpapier steht.

so I found this free(ish) DAW that is pretty readable for my non-musical brain. called KiraStudio and it got launched recently. No native linux support but it runs good enough (since it's just OpenGL as the dev says)

Bunte, fantasievolle Kinderzeichnung mit einer abwechslungsreichen Landschaft: Links ein See mit einem weißen Ungeheuer, daneben ein Dreieckszelt mit schwarzem Loch, verschiedene kreative Figuren wie Roboter, Skelette, Tiere und Fabelwesen. Im Hintergrund sind ein Baum, ein grauer Planet, ein Schaukelpferd und weitere abstrakte Elemente zu sehen.
