While there are a lot of parallels to conflicts in the middle east, Dune was largely inspired by the Russian empire’s war against the people of the Caucuses that were united by Imam Shamyl in the 1800s. The book The Sabres of Paradise details Shamyl’s life and the conflict and much of the Fremen culture is basically lifted wholesale from it.

Cursed.

No response to people pointing out the ABS data contradicts you? You have zero credibility, just another conservative clown eating up the misinformation you’re being fed by propoganda.

I think Ashitaka calls her San.

That’s amazing.

Her name is actually “San”.

How do you reconcile this assessment with these statements on the ABS site:

“Net overseas migration was 306,000 in 2024-25, down from 429,000 a year earlier. Migrant arrivals decreased 14% to 568,000 from 661,000 arrivals a year earlier.”

That username lmao

I rate it “Goes hard”.

Yeah its a shield.

That’s Elvis.

I find it funny that they’re pretending that they won’t end up strapping explosives to these things.

That sounds cool af.

Just be outraged online, bro, you’ll be doing your part.

This is an incredibly evocative, stylish presentation with an extremely flimsy premise that contains very little actual evidence to support it.

I love this album, because it’s amazing music but also because of how mad it made insufferable Radiohead fans when it came out.

One of my all time favourite electronic albums. It dropped when dubstep was becoming very formulaic and bland and took the genre and pushed it through a meatgrinder into the mutant industrial noisescapes on this album.

Correct.

I am no expert on the Middle East, nor the American neoconservative movement circa 2003

Then why the fuck are you writing articles about them

Don’t take my comment too seriously, man.
