 It's no coincidence the films portray the Paul Atreidis story to the public - it's a story of a foreigner in a hostile land, whose coming and "powers" were propagandized to the locals by representatives of a nationless sectarian school of thought, entirely comitted to (re)shaping global affairs "for the gewd of aLl🤡" i.e. to their will, somehow pretending they protect mankind from mankind.

"Follow blindly" is the message, hilariously from one conflict to another. End justifies the means sort of thing. The line between freedom fighters and violent aggressors gets blurred right at the end too. Shai-hulud endorsing this obvious conspiracy is another red flag 😅

Slay your heroes, and also slay your gods. Be nobody's mindless puppet/jihadist.
