Exactly the way I said you would too. You don't call me a luddite because I already pointed that out and it would be too obvious if you use the word so instead you completely ignore the points I made and instead pretend I argued that we should go all Amish and ban technology.

This way you can avoid having to deal with the social implications of work shortages. You even at the end managed to shift the blame to the people losing their jobs and their livelihoods.

This way as society collapses around you as long as you aren't personally affected you don't have to do anything. I mean anything except talk about how fucking awesome you are and how much everybody else are lazy and shiftless.

All I can say is you better hope you die of old age before the effects of your line of thought come home to roost. You can only ignore the collapse of human civilization for so long. Especially when people with literally trillions of dollars are making it happen sooner. I used to think guys like you would get away with it but Elon Musk and the rest of those pieces of shit have accelerated things so much I don't think he will anymore.

The moment I hear it's from 'X', that's exactly what I presume, because if you have any decency at all you don't choose a site that protects Nazism for your social media fix.

Guilt by association isn't perfect, but some times the choice of associates speaks so loudly you can't ignore it.

Yes, I am prescribing how the companies must run because their very business model is inherently dangerous and harmful. The "engagement" business model has proven across multiple companies that it is inherently (and unfixably) damaging. We already regulate plenty of business models (eg, gambling.)

I'm fine with assigning liability, but that's reactive. It's like saying: "Oh, we are not going to regulate power cables by requiring a UL stamp, but if you get a shock, feel free to sue the manufacturer."
