I've only heard that term being used to insult, that's actually a real thing?
I've never heard it used as an insult. How is it even supposed to be offensive? "Har har you're a person who doesn't like tech"?
Less of "you're a person who doesn't like tech" and more "you're not with the times/are scared of the future"... which is pretty close to some messaging from clankers.
I am scared of the future, you know why? Because everything feels so unbearably bleak and I wish I had something to feel actually hopeful for.
But I guess we'll own nothing and be forced to live with it.
