Banished to the sugared wilderness, Pall (now head of House Agamemnides) and Lady Jazzica meet with and are eventually accepted by the planet's native population, the Freedmenmen, a process made easier by previous prophecy-seeding by the Missionaria Phonibalonica, via the Great Prophet Phyllis. The natives are receptive to the fulfillment of the prophecies even after the revelation that Phyllis's decanonization resulted in her prophecies being discredited. Pall, given the Freedmenmen name Assol and taking the secret name Mauve'Bib (after the purple napkin that all Freedmenmen wear about their necks), begins to ascend the power structure of the tribe and takes the Freedmenmen girl Loni as his lover. He realizes that he could use the Freedmenmen to return to a position of power, taking control of not only Doon but the Imperium itself. He also realizes what the planet's Imperial Planetologist and liberal economist, Keynes, had puzzled out some time before: the rampaging Giant Pretzels (known as Schmai-gunug) actually produces the beer as a byproduct of its very life-cycle. The Lady Jazzica ascends to the status of Revved-Up Mother of Hootch Grabr, becoming known as Jazzica-of-the-Weirdness. During her ascension, while getting drunk on the beer, she realizes that she carries Lotto's daughter. Her intoxication opens her foetal daughter to the thousands of years of Boni Maroni culinary history; the result is Nailya-the-Truly-Weird, a toddler who spouts recipes as though she were an adult.

The plot details are a little different, but they're both Scifi stories about weirdo superhumans going around using ridiculous technology to execute absurd master plans. To be fair, Dune has better action scenes. Maybe Atlas Shrugged would have been better if they'd used Rearden Metal to make steampunk robots or something.

Wikipedia tells me that Muad'dib is the fremen word for kangaroo mouse. Kangaroo mice are scared little weaklings that need me to rescue them from parking garages using Chinese food containers for transportation. But at least it is a less lazy fictional word than fre(e)men.

Yeah, actually, gamers in the house forever,
the GOP is the Bene Gesserit
the Tea Party is the Missionaria Protectiva
Trump supporters are the Fremen
and yes, Trump is the god damned Kwisatz Haderach

It fits perfectly. They got what they asked for instead of what they wanted
