As companies destroy the world in pursuit of profits that will never come, I welcome our Butlerian Jihad (lemmy.world)

For those unfamiliar the Dune series, the Butlerian Jihad was a crusade against “thinking machines”. Ultimately computers, and intelligent or thinking machines, even down to calculators are destroyed and banned. Humans who are trained in complex mental maths become known as Mentats, a sort of human computer. Just, uhh, leave all that shit on Bene Tleilax, with their Axalotl Tanks out of it.

Edit: had wrong planet name. IX -> Bene Tleilax

You may have heard of the Luddites; maybe you even heard of the Canuts. The truth is that the destruction of the machines by the workers is a very common thing among history. Sabotage and revolutionary syndicalism is a way. It will turn our inner eye to see our path. Where the bourgeoisie has gone there will be nothing. Only us will remain.
