    I’ll go back and time and get Frank to fix it.

    And if those “billions” of deaths throughout the universe were slavers and feudal lords getting got, can’t say I think it’s the great tragedy Herbert tries to paint it as.

    I don’t think it would be all righteous terror. We see historically when some empires collapse (Ottoman, Austro-Hungarian, Russian etc) some people in the chaos decides it’s a good time to do a pogram or genocide.

      The only people described as doing pogroms and genocides are Paul’s own Fremen troops

        I agree the books have scant details and could be much better, and less eugenist.

        I think that with limited methods of communication deciphering the specific circumstances of all the conflicts on an incomprehensibly huge number of world’s, after the fact would be difficult.

        Have a great day. I’m out.
