Basics
- A USA Folk Hero
- Thus Both
- An ideal/hero
- And for many then and now: an Everyman
- Sometimes intrpreted as an anti technology sentiment
- Many of the criticisms can be summed up as:
- Steam Engines Blew Up FREQUENTLY pre-overpressure valves etc
- Steam engines were bought for profit, not FLOSFALQASP (ie robber baron vs ose's endgame, thus a False Equivalence
- More so on the Treatment of the Worker (it was from industrializing usa where workers were expendable toolheads not people (and many are to this day) )
- Thus a pre-existing, good (albeit good), and fun/goofy rhythm song
- Thus a great thing for yell singing at a bar and/or protest
