You haven’t done a good job of explaining why thus far.

Other people seem to have no issue understanding. I think my coconut comment was on point, and the fact that you responded referencing Luddites shows I've explained myself perfectly fine.

What specifically don't you understand about me saying I think this is hypocritical?

That it implies that the only people capable of making critiques of society are people who reject material reality and try to live a thousand years ago.
