Your “actual Luddite” characterisation is just as much a meme.

Both are stupid misrepresentations of the movement.

Actual Luddite: your employees who are going through layoffs while your profits are rising.

Luddite according to the boss: somebody who is trying to prevent me from doing what I want to do when I want to do it just because there's 100 of them and one of me.

The boss owns the printing press.

Amish luddite. Technology is vetted by a central committee before the public is allowed to use it.
