“Dune is colonialist” “dune is a warning” wrong. The message of dune is that all computers must be destroyed and that doing cocaine gives you superpowers

Just for fun I assume the Butlerian Jihad was the fundamentalists response to the discovery by the earliest stage of Ian Banks "Culture" and in the path less/more traveled, they won, and rewrote history

One alternative answer is “a hero is the worst thing that can happen to a movement”, but I think “Butlerian Jihad now” is more trenchant for our current moment

Dune basically seems like Avatar, if Jake Sully led the Na’vi to invade and wipe out the population of Earth, which, of course, I hope is the plot of Avatar 4.

The message of Dune is “imagine how fucking horrible global warming will get.” The hero story was bolted on later when his reader said “what’s the point of all this desert nonsense?”
