I like to think of "house atomics" in the same sense as "house cats". These are the atomics that we don't allow outside.

Guys the book written from the 60’s has some old tropes, even though it still has important lessons for today.

Just lol if you think Frank Herbert was pulling some racist poo poo rather than critiquing racism and white saviour mentalities when he's on record stating that he meant Dune as an explicitly anti-Western, anti-Monomyth, anti-White Saviour work, and he went out of his way to write the sequels to explicitly clean that whole thing up.

it is quite the thing tho that the good adaptation of dune comes out when the power of opec is basically utterly broken and arab liberation is at a general standstill (or regression) tho

House atomics as in house wine, the not lovely but not amazing option. Sir, may I interest you in the 10098 Ixian Cabernet Fission? It has nutty undertones with an aftertaste of ionising radiation. No thanks, just house atomics, please.

Wait, the movie where the alleged white savior goes back on his word and refuses to free Arrakis, then leaves his Fremen lover for a white princess, then starts a war and kills billions of people is pro white savior?

PAUL: Have you heard of Hitler? He killed several million people. STILGAR: He sounds like a total pussy, my lord. Those are rookie numbers, you gotta get those numbers up. PAUL: Yes, he was. I am like Hitler, but better. I am looking directly at the audience and making sure the audience is clear that I, Paul, am a complete loving monster by comparing myself, somewhat awkwardly lorewise, to a man you, the audience, will directly look at and go 'wow, that guy sure was loving evil' and then going I, Paul, am much more evil than he is. Let me make it very clear to you, the audience, that I have created a blood soaked legacy of horror and disgust that I, myself, had previously said was a horrible path to walk and I did not want to walk it. I am speaking to you, the audience. I am a bad person. Even if I have a theoretical goal that could be viewed as positive, I only achieve it by abusing and destroying everyone around me and unchecked innocents. STILGAR: Flawless logic sir. LETO: Egads! The Golden Path is ruined. But... what if I were to fuse with sandtrout and disguise it as my own plan? Delightfully Devilish, Leto!

I think the other Great Houses were going to depose him and kill all of the Fremen unless he destroyed them all.
