However, I'd gently push back on a few specifics. Paul isn't presented as a #Hitler admirer; rather, 👉his...

prescient visions *horrify* him by showing catastrophic futures he wants to prevent.👈 #Herbert seems to be critiquing how messianic figures *enable* atrocities, not celebrating them. Similarly, the #BeneGesserit aren't painted as straightforward villains—they're morally complex, and #LadyJessica embodies genuine care alongside institutional manipulation.

Here's what's crucial:
👉Paul's rise is fundamentally a story of resistance against a fascistic occupying force.👈The #Harkonnen..

»I must not fear.
Fear is the mind-killer.
Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration.
I will face my fear.
I will permit it to pass over me and through me.
And when it has gone past, I will turn the inner eye to see its path.
Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain."

Say it out loud if you think it helps today. Make it a mantra.

I watched Dune part II yesterday. Amazing and stunning. Not perfect, some flaws imho but still masterclass. This is fanart I did a couple of years ago, Gaius Helen Mohiam and Alia.
