The “average Englishman” who got a bump in salary is the average Englishman. Their salary did increase during that time. Sure hindsight is 20/20 and they probably didn’t care about the fact that industrialization would end up being one of the best things to ever happen to humanity. They just wanted to keep their jobs, and valued that over progress. But even back then they would become growingly unpopular. That’s why they’re now synonymous with backwards people like the Dunses.

I'm sure all my friends who are artists, writers, and programmers will be glad to hear that "progress" is the reason their careers have been forcibly ended, and they've had to get "jobs" as Uber drivers and Walmart greeters.

And if any of them is selfish enough to say that's not a good thing, I'll make a point of telling them they are "backwards."
