@MarkBrahmin I would say that Herbert tendencies are strongly Rightist, though going off in different directions: environmentalism, Christianity, anti-Christianity, nostalgia for empire and aristocracy, populist libertarianism, etc. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Spencer @RichardBSpencer

@MarkBrahmin There are a few interviews of Frank Herbert on YouTube. In some moments, he sounds like an environmentalist—and these themes are clearly present in Dune—in other moments, he sounds like an American libertarian, fearful of all authority, and its totalitarian tendencies. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Spencer @RichardBSpencer

@MarkBrahmin It is very complex. *Dune Messiah* is extremely critical of Paul. So it is much like Shakespeare: yes, there is messaging, but whether it’s moralizing or demoralizing is up for debate. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Spencer @RichardBSpencer

Additionally, Paul foresees that becoming Messiah will launch an insane, blood-soaked, puritanical galactic Jihad, done in his and his father’s name. So, again, be careful what you wish for… — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Spencer @RichardBSpencer

That said, what makes *Dune* not just a “White Savior” narrative is that Herbert looks at the flip side of the oppressed people’s myth. Be careful becoming a Messiah, young man, you might just be following the script and mouthing the lines of a coven of witches! — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Spencer @RichardBSpencer

We should ask what Herbert is trying to tell us with all this. *Dune* is, superficially, a “White Savior” narrative, in which the chosen son of the elite “goes native” and leads an oppressed, non-White people to freedom, literally becoming their “Space Jesus” in the process. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Spencer @RichardBSpencer

Brahmin claims not to have read *Dune*, as he’s demonstrated that in his latest commentary (😂). But the pair actually have a lot in common. As they say, “great minds think alike.” — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Spencer @RichardBSpencer

Intriguingly, Frank Herbert’s understanding of myth and the “collective unconscious”—as *consciously* created, often for sinister and diabolical aims—is very similar to @MarkBrahmin’s. — PolitiTweet.org

Villeneuve brings the Missionaria Protectiva back into the story in his latest version, though subtly. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Spencer @RichardBSpencer

David Lynch leaves the “Missionaria Protectiva” out of his notorious (though, imho, really enjoyable) 1984 film. In this way, Paul isn’t turning the Bene Gesserit’s sinister myth against them; Paul *is* the Messiah, and we, the audience, are in the same position as the Freman. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Spencer @RichardBSpencer

Though it is the Freman who really believe in the Messiah, they are ultimately just acting out a script written for them by the Bene Gesserit. IOW, they believe in someone else’s Messiah. Fascinatingly, Paul will turn the Gesserit’s own myth against the Sisterhood in the end. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Spencer @RichardBSpencer

“Gesserit” sounds a lot like “Jesuit,” of course—and there is strong Roman Catholic costuming for the Imperium in Villeneuve’s version—but “Gesserit” has stronger commonalities with Judaism. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Spencer @RichardBSpencer

These myths might “brew” for centuries, influencing cultures and peoples, before coming to fruition and serving the Bene Gesserit Sisterhood and their vision of the future. It is a “protective” mission, after all. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Spencer @RichardBSpencer

One of the most fascinating and unappreciated ideas in Frank Herbert’s *Dune* is the “Missionaria Protectiva.” This is, essentially, a myth or (self-fulfilling) prophecy that the Bene Gesserit Sisterhood plants in cultures throughout the galaxy. — PolitiTweet.org

I don’t even think they thought this would work. The audience for this desperate stunt was other liberals, who love the idea of going down shrieking. — PolitiTweet.org

Agreed. But we shouldn’t let “humanity” off the hook! Appeals to “humanity” seem always to be a way of evading responsibility. At the end of the day, Greta, WE DID THIS! https://t.co/qrrmetfdVm — PolitiTweet.org
