It has happened. There is a related term we use which is related to a historical fact .. see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Luddite

GP is saying mass unemployment caused by technology hasn't happened, not that the Luddites weren't a real historical group.

Correct, and I am saying the Luddites were a group of people that suffered mass unemployment following a technological change. Specifically, the luddites were a group of 19th century textile workers that were left out of work due to the introduction of automated machinery in the textile industry. In other words, they are a perfect example of what GP claims hasn’t happened.
