It is an even more human reaction when the new strange thing directly threatens to upend and massively change the industry that puts food on your table.

The steam-powered loom was not good for the luddites either. Good for society at large in the long term but all the negative points that a 40 year old knitter in 1810 could make against the steam-powered loom would have been perfectly reasonable and accurate judged on that individual's perspective.
