Libtards are preemptively beginning their performative histrionics at Dennis Villeneuve's adaptation of Dune Messiah because of the galactic genocide and Paul's glowing mention of Hitler in the book. They are likely beginning this spiral because they already know that after 8 years of calling 95% of the population a Nazi, having a character praise Hitler isn't the black mark on their character that it used to be.
I should also add that that conversation in Messiah didn't really hit as hard for me back when I read it, nothing to do with politics, just the idea that after 9,000 years a dictators actions and consequences would more than fade with time wasn't that crazy of an idea. Like how Napoleon was the Hitler figure of the 1800s and is now widely considered an anti-hero at worst and a great man of history by the majority of the population.

@Shadowman311 iirc didn't herbert intentionally flanderize paul in messiah because he didn't like how many people saw him as a role model?
Seems to fit perfectly with the hollywood narrative.

@Forgetful_Gynn The point of dune was to warn against charismatic leaders and cults of personality, Messiah was Herbert's attempt at a sharp course correction after sort of blowing that message in the first dune.
@Shadowman311 @Forgetful_Gynn "Beware of charismatic leaders!"
Why?
"Because they'll, uh... Liberate your planet and take you on a kickass jihad to rule the galaxy..."

There used to be a wikipedia article called Orange Catholic that explained it but the article has been removed
I thought I archived it but it looks like the truth has been surpressed
@shortstories @Godcast @Forgetful_Gynn it's pretty funny that after all the controversy's DDG has had recently that they had to put a bright green checkmark over it to tell you how they DEFINITELY don't track your searches or anything like that.

The Loyal Orange Institution, commonly known as the Orange Order, is an international Protestant fraternal order based in Northern Ireland and primarily associated with Ulster Protestants. It also has lodges in England, Scotland, Wales and the Republic of Ireland, as well as in parts of the Commonwealth of Nations and the United States.[1][2][3]

The color "orange" is especially interesting. In this context, orange typically represents the Protestant Irish. This may speak to an ancient reunion of Protestant and Catholic in the Dune universe.
