hmm, looking up the word on Wikipedia shows how the word Luddite now means what the comic is depicting:
Nowadays, the term “Luddite” often is used to describe someone who is opposed or resistant to new technologies.
In 1956, during a British Parliamentary debate, a Labour spokesman said that “organised workers were by no means wedded to a ‘Luddite Philosophy’.” By 2006, the term neo-Luddism had emerged to describe opposition to many forms of technology. According to a manifesto drawn up by the Second Luddite Congress (April 1996; Barnesville, Ohio), neo-Luddism is “a leaderless movement of passive resistance to consumerism and the increasingly bizarre and frightening technologies of the Computer Age”.
Luddites were anti-oligarch, not anti-technology.
Don’t regurgitate propaganda from the parasite class.

I guess the propaganda was a huge success, then
idk, I think words eventually take new meaning. no need to bring propaganda into this imo
Propaganda is the reason the word took on that meaning.
Most of the time, language evolution is harmless. Not this time.
