The stocking frames the Luddites smashed were not new! They had been around since 1589. Given that kind of time frame, it's impossible to depict the Luddites as technophobes or the machines as "new." The Luddites were fighting against automation and tyranny, not technology or progress.
Those machines could have been used to create a better country where machines serve people, instead they created factories where people are forced to work as machines. And when people pushed back against the way things were changing they were branded as "Against technology" rather than "against inhumane working conditions".
i d say that technology is exactly what created the copntext for the inhumane conditions of the 19th century. In fact id say it is still the same situation today. Would you say that things have changed and we are not working for the machiens anymore? the very opposite!
Same as todays degenerate fad society. But now with people being lower intelligence they managed to trick everyone into falling for it by pandering to their infantile need to feel special about themselves all the time.
Please can you correct the information 1. The riots started in Nottinghamshire and spread from there. 2. It had nothing to do with Lancashire and cotton 3. It had started in Nottinghamshire and spread to Yorkshire (West Riding) 4. The frame knitters were from Nottinghamshire (not Yorkshire) 5. The croppers were from Yorkshire (not Nottinghamshire)
These are true. Please double check your contents, and correct those errors accordingly. It is quite disappointing to see this kind of misinfo from your channel, history hub.
Hi Phillip you are quite correct there were luddite attacks in Manchester and of course Westhoughton. the machinery and much of the mill was destroyed. In the following days dozens of men and women were rounded up and sent for trial at Lancaster Assizes. Most were discharged but Job Fletcher, James Smith, Thomas Kerfoot and Abraham Charlson who was only 12, were found guilty and were hanged for the burning. nine other men were transported to Australia for lesser offences assisting and riot. The nine men deported to Australia for seven years were Christopher Metcalf; James Brierley; John Fisher; James Knowles; Henry Thwaite; Thomas Holden; John Hurst; Samuel Radcliffe and Joseph Greenhalgh. We have written a play to perform at our local folk music festival. we only have information on Chris Metcalf and Thomas Holden which one was your relative.
It should be noted that the frustration of the luddites was not with automation itself, but rather with the loss of paid labour as many former wage labourers were forced to return to gruelling tenant substance farming in the countryside. That is if they could find land to work at all as most of the countryside had been reshaped to accommodate new cash crops and ranches. The savings in cost were miniscule for the capitalist owners, while the Human cost of automation was unfathomable in an era when a man who is out of work would be simply left to starve like a dog on the street.
@@timothymatthews6458 What about liberty is alt-right? What makes wanting individual freedom away from technology alt-right? Read up on ideology before commenting.
Why is Manchester/Lancashire always trying to appropriate other English history? The Luddites were from Nottinghamshire (stockingers) and Yorkshire (croppers), not Lancashire.
Except whereas 5G is an upgrade to existing technology and the fear is spread by conspiracy theorists. The machines were smashed because the owners were employing people in inhumane working conditions to use the machines (creating the factory), changing the way work was done entirely to prioritise the owner's profit over anything else.
For me, this just shows that people opposing progress have always existed. Besides, it is really stupid thinking: "Huh, if I destroy the machine they'll give me my job back again."
The leftist RUclipsr Andrewism has made a good video, explaining why the Luddites would be right from an environmentalist perspective. As too much technology is wasteful and disconnects us from mother Nature and one another: ruclips.net/video/bP2rObVK1zg/видео.htmlsi=qL0pBRJyJo0Vmyxa

And with it all happening at the same time as the Napoleonic Wars, the Luddites were one step away from a Revolution similar to America and France.
Criminally underlooked period of history.
As is WW1
@@C21H30O2 Hey now, there's no reason to bring up WW1.

agree
im learning more from the comments than from the video!
Looks what we have now and yeah there is so much thing to be fixed, But do you want to go back to 1800?

The one at Westhaughton helped me as my convict ggggrandfather was sent Sydney 1812. And I’m still in Sydney.

"It was rather short-lived" as things tend to get when state start executing the protesting disenfranchised people
When Karl Marx tells you to keep guns, kill rich people, you guys pussy out.

Thank goodness that we don't have the same issues in our time where technology and artificial intelligence may take away millions of livelihoods.

And now, the Luddites are cutting the cables at Tesla Super Chargers stations. I'm sure they'll be successful this time.
They were heroes, it's a shame they lost
Luddites were based
They wanted reform of parliament as well as deindustrial.

This is very true. You’d better correct this accordingly. With all respect, please do your research before you
upload these.
Let’s destroy things that make our lives easier, so we can live. Seems like a great idea!

Well now people are attacking 5G towers we haven't changed that much, but in the end new technologies always win.
Except whereas 5G is an upgrade to existing technology and the fear is spread by conspiracy theorists. The machines were smashed because the owners were employing people in inhumane working conditions to use the machines (creating the factory), changing the way work was done entirely to prioritise the owner's profit over anything else.

LUDDITES WERE HEROS. Technology has destroyed people and society!
Well if all of the machinery was broken, they would need to give them back there jobs otherwise who would be making the cotton
