Voting once every four years isn’t enough. Voting twice per year every other year (primaries/caucuses and general elections, midterms and Presidential) should be the bare minimum. In addition, if you have the time, get involved locally. Email your state and federal repa, let them know what you care about. Talk to your city councils and county boards.

Yeah, later books seem like Frank Herbert was way too obsessed with sex. The idea of Honored Maitres as using sex to control humans seemed pretty misogynistic, even at the time (yes, eventually there was a guy, too). Still, I think the whole “put humanity in a pressure cooker so they explode outwards when the lid is gone” concept was pretty thought-provoking. Also the Siona project; if prescience is a real thing in that universe, it can be studied and understood, then weaponized. How do you defend against an enemy that knows where and when you’ll be?
Yes, “teach them a lesson they’ll feel in their bones.” Although I thought the focus of being a despot, along with the Scattering, was to teach a humanity a lesson about avoiding the “Pharaonic Disease”; to reject authoritarians.

Classic Rule-X erasure (lemmy.blahaj.zone)
I think a couple years later, they posted one that included us. As a fellow GenX noted, this kind of erasure is totally on brand for us.
