That's a no true Scotsman mixed with a strawman.

Anger is a lot of things besides intentional sabotage and insurrection





Do you believe people actually hate fidget spinners, or it was just internet talk?

Show me manifestations of anger towards AI that actually happened outside of the internet. Some massive strike, some protest, something meaningful.



Is Paul McCartney an IT worker?

No but it's anger that happened outside of the internet.

Fair enough. I should have been more specific.

You do understand that the Luddite movement was a low class, mass worker movement, don't you?

It seems out of place to mention a big name artist as a Luddite, as if you don't understand what the word implies.


You failed to notice modern meaning of a word diverged from its original meaning several ways?

I was clearly asking for examples of tech workers revolting.

If you want to bend the modern meaning to imply that Paul McCartney somehow belongs in the same group as hypothetical anxious tech workers, that's a problem I cannot help you with.
