the man who never existed but broke every machine anyway.
means the mythical founder of the luddites, a name workers borrowed to sign threats against factory machinery.
from supposedly a young weaver in 1779 who smashed his knitting frame in a fit of rage, real or not, his name became the signature on anonymous letters warning mill owners to remove their machines or else.
