No. It's about a group of pedophile political elites (House Harkonnen) being booted from control of vast wealth and power ("he who controls the spice controls the universe") in favor of a politically minor and relatively good/honest/moral family (House Atreides). The Harkonnens scheme to seize power back, much to the detriment of the plebes who just want left alone (e.g. the Fremen).

One member of House Atreides leads the Fremen resistance against the Harkonnens and their Imperial Sardukkar jackboots.

There's quite a bit of political and philosophical depth (e.g. how humans are defined by their willpower and choices, not just being a two-legged NPC), but at a high level it's a timeless story of good men & freedom lovers vs tyrants and their cronies.

it's a boring story b/c it's happened thouands of times now in history always going back into this shitty conflict. The universe's physical laws lead to this condition. It's pretty bleak. Also the universe's physical laws lead to me saying, faggot, nigger, and "you're a nigger faggot" you stupid farting chink.

A lot of Dune is a meditation on causality.

Dune stole its story from Star Wars

It is about Muslims taking control of the world economy. The "spice" is oil. Herbert even used Arabic terms when referring to the Fremen and their language.

Inasmuch as it's a Lawrence of Arabia theme I guess. EG the white savior rallies the desert dwellers to overthrow their mutual enemy. The Fremen were ZenSunni an amalgam of Shinto and Islamic dogmas. It's set far in the future where the religions kinda all bled together and morphed out.

Dune is about the dangers of following charismatic leaders. The God Emperor and his Golden Path fucked up all kinds of shit for everyone

No. Dune is about the struggle for power between the different factions who vie for power and the normal people trying to stop them. And space.

How do the jews fit in, fren?

If I had to make the allegory between the different factions of power in dune, the great houses would be different royal lines of Europe. The space guild would be the jews. The bene gesserit are the church. The bene tleilax are the Muslims.

I don't like any of those. I shall be 'Helga, the Kween of Space'.

No, it’s the converse. It’s about a white crusade led by a mongrel against the Jew powers ruling the universe.

I watched the new version of the movie recently and enjoyed it. Aside from a diverse cast I didn't really notice any kikery or degenerate messaging. I usually can't watch anything because that stuff ruins it for me but I enjoyed Dune.

I suspect that is because it has an international release.

I did notice that all the evil and perverted people in Dune are white.

race wasn't relevant in the books, most characters were White or taken as equivalent

In the book, in the movie or both?

You cant even sum up anything in a 'is this for or against' white men. Theyll change it in the adaptation so every nog, the nog's family and their parole officers will know for a fact that George Washington was black and anyone not good was and is white
